As noted, the cranks are actually Shimano, they just hadn't arrived at the time of the build and I was eager to get out on it, also need to swap battery over to internal seatpost one which is due to be done in coming week.

I had originally specked Pro Evo Integrated Bars and Stem as the handling choice, just currently deciding on this however.

Bike has just done a few days in Majorca 3 weeks ago and just got back from the Raid Corsica., although with Fulcrum Zeros on, Absolutely love it

Stunning build, I think the Enve rims looks great on it

We need a pic with the DA cranks on!

Looks great.

Well staged photo, the black background stops the steerer length looking obvious

I'll take one tonight as long as it's not chucking it down.

Well spotted regarding the steerer, it will be made flush, but not done as of yet until i'm decided upon bars, and going from my 56cm Madone to a 55cm Bianchi has resulted in a 110mm Stem compared to the 100mm on the old Trek. So been making sure it feels good in case I do go integrated, due to having no adjustment. May stick with the current set up however.

How do you find the ride, I've got zero's on my oltre with 25 mm conti's, and the ride is'nt half as stiff as what some reviewer's make it out to be. To be honest I dont find it much of a stiffer ride than my infinito

Looks ace!! Colour scheme throughout looks fantastic on a great looking frame. I'm sure it rides as good as it looks!!

You cheaped out on the cassette eh? Should have gone with a SRAM 1190

Very nice indeed, especially the wheels. What's the BB?

Had a chance to update it with the cranks, internal battery being swapped in a couple of weeks along with the matching fsa sl-k handlebar and stem in black and celestial to go with the bike and to make it flush.

It's a press fit bottom bracket for those asking
