Storck Absolutist

Lots of good deals on Storck Absolutist framesets for the last couple of months as they were replaced by the Scentron for 2013. Some sizes are much easier to source than others though and when I was buying a few months ago it took a bit of searching to find a 57.
Nothing much else to say, just post the pictures. Fabulous bike to ride, though I've only put about 1,500km on it. It was cleaned off and stored at the end of the season. Once the manic first races of 2014 are out of the way it will make a reappearance again. Weighs, roughly [bathroom scales] 7kg with pedals, cages and Garmin mount, cadence, magnets etc.
Downsides? Matt white is an absolute mare to clean. Very hard to get the black grime from brake pads on a wet day off.

Rear entry dropout. Better hope you don't need a quick wheel
Detail in the paint. The black on the frame is actually a very dark lacquer over the cf weave which really only shows itself in good light.

The rear drop out is a bit of a pain. Unfortunately I don't get the chance to do a massive amount of stage racing where getting a quick wheel is vital for staying in the race. The majority of the racing here are 1-day events and the vast majority will have no team cars or neutral service, so if you puncture you're more or less out regardless. You can get the wheel on/off without picking up the chain by hand - there are demo videos on the Stock website - but there's a knack to it. The quickest way is by putting it on the cassette by hand, but it can be a bit messy.0

Very nice, Danny. Yep, frameset, wheels and a lot of finishing kit all came from Germany. Groupset from Switzerland and a few bits and pieces from ChainReaction and Wiggle.0

For cleaning matte white try baby wipes. Comes up a treat.0
