I've had my baby for 2 years now and I believe I have posted it here before but it deserves a time to shine again because without the help of a few people this beauty would've been sold.

Thanks to the Oom's who gave me the wheels.

Thanks to Spoke works for a great wheel build.

Thanks to Kalbo for yet another amazing chainring.

Thanks to Hotspot Cycles for helping me sorting out my bike

Thanks to Omnico for the lefty service.

This steed truely feels like a brand new bike!

Before the wheel upgrade it weighed 10.9kg (full aluminium)

Now it weighs 10.5kg with Carbon wheels and is as stiff as they come. You will look hard to find a stiffer bike setup than this baby with a lefty shock and Enve wheel.

I love this racing snake of mine!

Man... Those wheels!!! Damm they look good.

Are you Enve-jis? ????

This is my 20 year old bike, which I ride 3 or 4 times a week. I prefer this to my race bike for training. I am planning a restoration, but still have not gotten round to it. Replica of a bike Cippolini rode in 1996.

Thank you Sir

 

No its not a camera trick

 

"The extensive tube working is visually obvious in the lacquered raw alloy finish and it’s equally obvious in the ride too. The tapering top ube, hourglassed, curved and double tapered SAVE seatstays and centrally flattened chainstays add significant amounts of spring and cushioning to the rear end, and the blade-to-round-section carbon fork legs do a similar job up front."

If this is your training bike would love to see what your race bike looks like

Yeah i read an article before buying it that its a jack of all trades type bike. Obviously not meant for the pointy end of the field but mare than capable of doing road races for wkn worriers like myself, cobbles sportives and some guys even tested it on gravel.

 

For a bike 5 years old with 515km's (According to the sigma odometer) on her, she looks all good and i think definitely worth the purchase. Took her for a setup Yesterday so will take her out for the first time tomorrow morning, cant wait.
