Well, here it is, finished building it up today, a nice shiny new bike for the wet and snowy weather we have lined up for the weekend. Campag chorus UT looks really nice am looking forward to giving it a test run tomorrow if the weather is ok.

Cheers

That looks really pretty Marek, now get some of that cool Rapha black and white gear and you'll be good for an extra 2mph!

Guess the bonus was good this year!

Unfortunately my scales have broken, but with the cosmics on it isn't breaking any UCI laws. The other issue being that it is a 61cm frame and therefore weighs that little bit more. At least I get more carbon for my money when I buy a bike.

Have my eye on some Campag Neutron Ultra wheels that I may press the BUY button on in the next couple of days if I work up the courage to tell the wife.

Cheers

Lovely bike, but that's a 61cm frame and still has that much seat pin! Your safe from me riding off on it then :lol: .

Never thought of that, maybe I can negotiate a discount next time :? .

Yep, the pin is only just long enough for me, it is really close to being over the red line. Looking forward to seeing how it rides.

Cheers
