Prefer the low profile wheels, manly because they are light. 1305g pair. compared to my Fast Forward f4r-c, which are 1700g

    Really nice bike, understated and classy, I agree the Stans Alpha wheels are nicer on it. Some deep matte carbons would also look good, sticker less of course

    Does look pretty swish.

    Don't quite understand the reasoning behind a BB rear brake but all that exposed cabling.

    I did question the rear brake placement initially, however after a few hundred miles on it, seems fine. No dirt build up.
    Less than normal callipers actually.

    Also, the cables are not exposed at the bottom bracket. Both the rear & front mech are housed in an inner cable.
