It started life as an entry level felt 85. I got the wheels few months ago and she lost 800gsm, then did the frame and crank, the stock FSA is quite horrible and flexible so it's much better now. Lost another 700 I think. Must still do rest of groupset and saddle.

 

Weighing on Wednesday. Besides the weight, rides so smoothly and responsive.

 

I'm also a photographer, so made the pics unfairly prettier

Update - Since last week, I added a dura ace 7900 groupset, was barely used and at a great price.

i kept the Sram Carbon arms and red crank cause they look way cooler IMO.

Bike started as a 2013 Felt F85, claimed weight of 9.5kgs. Tiagra groupset, CPX22 (2.2kg) wheels etc...

 

It weighed in at  approx 7.5kgs without pedals, cages. Left garmin bits on.

 

Only parts left over is the saddle, stem and bars, Doubt ill change em unless i get a great deal.

This Black Bikes subculture is very alluring.  My road bike is in need a re-spray and the only colour that I think will look classy is black.

I live 'n ride in the Congo, where all bikes are black.

 

Local bikes are either of Indian or Chinese origin, basically "dik wiele" capable of carrying 300kg of tree stumps, corn bags or 3 passengers & a goat.

 

Mine is a little less "agricultural".

Your bike is just on the border of having to start its own thread...the Brown bikes only thread :P
