Thought I'd give my bike the Your road bike treatment now it's back from the bike doctor's after a number of changes.
It's a Battaglin C13, bought a few years ago when PX were knocking them out cheap as a full build with carbon clinchers and Ultegra 6700 with a number of corners cut like cheap brakes and chainset. Over time I've changed most of the build.
Carbon clinchers have long been transferred to my TT bike, now wearing Superstar Pacenti SL23s (which have been retensioned!) and also destickered as I don't like shouty branding. Tyres are Michelin Pro4 service course in 25s - but they come up very large indeed on the wide rims.
Running gear is a full Ultegra 6800 groupset in 52-36 11-28, KMC 11EL chain, white Gore ride on cables. Fsa carbon bars with Arundel gecko grip bar tape and a 130mm Deda Zero2 stem (slammed of course!). Finished off with a Fizik Arione CX saddle and R550 pedals.
7.8kgs in full ready to ride trim including pedals. I know there are lighter, more aero and flasher out there, but I think this is a bit different and holds its own well.
