Always fancied one of these, and when xcMuttely put his up for sale I harassed him until he sold me the frameset.
Mostly Campag Chorud 10spd which is so much better than their 11spd stuff IMO. Fulcrum Racing 5LG with 27c Pave for the time being, fancy some Spesh Turbo Cotton 26c in a few months. Needs matching Ritchey stem too.
It rides great, so much stiffer than my old alu frame. There's a little bit of give, but dare I say good flex? The tapered Enve fork keeps things solid up front. All in all, love it.

Cheers - yeah, this is the only colour scheme I've liked (apart from the team issue). The new ones don't come with the Enve fork either.0

Lovely.
I love mine and looking forward to thrashing it across the cobbles in Flanders at the weekend

Nice that. I'm heading out for Paris Roubaix, but riding something with bigger tyres and fewer gears.

I could be tempted to part with mine if you're interested?

Nice, what wheel and tyre combo is that?0

Destickered Fulcrum Racing 5 LGs, with Specialized Turbo Cottons. Insanely fast tyre with a latex tube - feels like a TT tub.0

Looks good too :0)0

That is what a road bike should be!
Looks fantastic.0 -
It drives me nuts nobody stocks them here in italy,Salsa and Surly is the most "exotic" bike shops go.
