Here is my Moda Issimo 931

It still needs tweaking for fit so ignore the steerer etc.

Moda Issimo 931 Frameset 56cm
Ultegra Groupset from my old bike
Fulcrum Quattros borrowed from my other bike while I work out what to do long term for wheels!
Deda finishing kit that was cheap as chips
Shimano R600 Chainset that was also cheap as chips
Toupe Expert Saddle

Built up to a nice comfy bike I must say. The colour is smoke grey metallic and it sparkles in the sunshine. Quite chuffed really.

    That's spanking...
    Looks great. Is that the cheap frameset that you bought in your other posts...

    I like the horizontal top tube

    It will look fantastic with some 50mm deep section carbon wheels!

    (Not that it doesn't look fantastic now - but it'll look fantasticker!)

    What is the overall weight?

    How tall are you / inside leg? Did the 56cm frame work out right for you?

    Sorry no idea on weight but she is not heavy by any means. I am 5ft 11 with a 31 inch inseam and it fits fine. The 56cm is actually a 55cm tt.

    I use a 90mm stem FWIW.

    That's a cool stem and I like that it's aluminium-lithium!

    I used to have couple of them a few years ago and regretted selling them. I think they were 110mm and only weighed 105 grams.

    Larderlout howare you finding it? I am thinking about selling my old Tarmac and just having this as the best bike.

    Yet to be ridden! Glad to know yours is going well. Might take it for a shakedown ride if there's a dry day between now and March!

    It's Fizik Endurance Classic tape, i picked it up cheap on Chain reactions, a bit tricky to wrap but overall pretty good.

    Nice build, looks great with the Mavic wheels on. Interested if you're going to stick mudguards on for commuting/winter and what tyre clearance you get with the moda fork and approach to rear fitting (raceblade?).

    Thanks. Yes I'm going to have to put mudguards on it when the weather comes in, the fork has eyelets but the frame doesn't. Its got 25mm tyres on at the moment and it probably would take a 28mm but that would be a real squeeze. I'm likely going to get raceblade pros or similar but i think it would take a set of raceblade longs as well with 25mm tyres.
