Very nice!
Congratulations

 

It will be interesting to hear your impressions of the new vs old bike and what you think of disc brakes

Here’s some ‘better’ shots but still don’t do this bike justice.

 

Built it up with Dura Ace Di2, besides the discs. SiSl2 crank and Spiderings + Si Stages.

 

Came in at 7,3kg with cages, tubeless tape and a rather beefy out-front GPS mount.

 

Just waiting for the 28c Kenda Valkyrie tubeless tyres to land and then they are going on here setup tubeless.

My pride and joy. It is still the American made frame. She came in at 7.8kg's when I first got her for a bargain.  I changed the handlebars, stem, rings and cassette. So I'm guessing its around 8kg now.

 

Running Ultegra 6700 (I think).  Bit old, but still smooth as butter.  Got some Black oval's from a fellow hubber and 11-28 at the back.

 

Love this bike.  Smoothest, most comfortable ride of all the bikes I have owned.

I'll still take some nice, GCN-worthy photos at some point.

You'll get the bike VERY close to 7kg if you swop the bars and stem.

 

But

 

Those bars are pretty sexy so a "tough" call to make............ :whistling:

 

Personally.............I'd stick with the Aerobars.

Bars aren’t going anywhere unless I get some proper integrated bars.

 

Going tubeless should drop a few grams and also getting a Raceware out front mount will cut a few grams too.

 

It is a 56cm though so the weight isn’t too bad for a disc bike.
