Just about to start building this, a Storck Visioner Prana, 55cm, in lovely white and pink.

Plan is to move most things off the CAAD12 and use this as a crit bike next year as it's stiffer than Jimmy Saville in a playground.

Storck Visioner 55cm frameset.
Storck Platinum monolink seatpost
Selle Italia SLR Flow monolink saddle
Storck RBC180 Handlebar
Zipp Service Course 120mm stem
Ultegra 6870 shifters and mechs
Dura Ace 9000 brakes
Dura Ace 9000 cranks with 105 5800 chainrings
Elite custom race bottle cages
Wheels... mixing Edco Roche with GP5000 tubeless and Edco Umbrial tubs with Conti Competition Pro Ltds.

Hopefully it'll be finished later this evening.

    Cheers, it's not particularly light but is stiff which is what I want.

    I’ll fit them tomorrow and see how they look. Not going down to the shed tonight, it’s chucking it down outside.

    I’d say it’s about right if you’re organised and have everything ready. My problem is very much in the being organised and having everything ready.

    I can't find the tubs, I might have lent them to someone, I'll see if I can find the 65s.

    I thought it was a bit slow tbh, took a while getting the Di2 battery out the old seatpost. Once all the parts are there it doesn't take long to whack them on a bike.

    Pictures for one mf

    Also, it's not a bike, it's a Cosmic Fucking Unicorn, also known as Bryn.


    It may need re-stickering, some of them didn't survive the ride today and some are hanging off a bit.

    Do you mean the decals on the wheels? I like the stickers on the frame, although I suspect they may upset some.

    Oh.

    Phuck.

    Me.


    Utterly lovely - the wheels and tape make it.

    Lovely. Keep it like this apart from trimming the steerer and dumping the saddlebag and it's perfect.

    Top 10 of the year - get a lab coat near it and it's top 5.

    Big phat het.

    Think close ups on the stickers are needed, looking cracking though

    Get the chain rings powder coated black - will make the frame pop.

    Chain will take off the powder coat fro the teeth leaving everything else exactly as it should be.

    Do it. Do it. Do it now. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it now.

  • I think the shifters need to be positioned further forwards on the bars.
  • Phwoar....

    I had a Storck MTB for a while, wish I'd kept it. Carbon monocoque build, stupid light, strong and ridiculously stiff. Was a teeth-rattler off road though!
