And yet you continued with the order despite spending 250K more than originally planned?

committed and paid for in 2022 - lets not forget i also get distributer pricing.

so a far better option and price.

@Furbz...Beautiful frame 

Not a fan of the grey tape and the grey on the rims....still think it needs Campagnolo also

Yeah, tape still working on.

the rims are actually chrome in colour - very bling

as for campy - yep agreed. when you build campy, its full campy or nothing. at that moment in time when i ordered the groupset for this build campy rims still were quite narrow making for a harsher ride. having ridden wide rims i will never go back to narrow inner width rims. the comfort gained its unreal. since the launch of the new C23 wheels it made the next battaglin builds an easy campy choice.

Haha - thats any groupset you desire, and partington wheels. you can upgrade to lightweights, or downgrade and save AUD2500 with Princeton wheels.

of course everything is ceramic speed.

Thanks, the big tell will be how it rides.

putting the cost aside it needs to make me want to ride it because it a good bike.

@Furbzpersonally I would not be to concern about how the Bastion rides, there are superbikes in your collection, this Bastion has its place.

If it was not for the Battaglin coming a No.22 would have been my suggestion to add to the collection.

100% agree

even if if turns out not to be great its good looking enough to be hung up and called art!

i finished the build last night, bike needs a wipe down and some pictures taken - i'll post back here. It's UBER bling!

How clean is that! 

Nothing but the best used - Ceramic Speed SLT bears come standard.

the build on this is unreal, absolutely clean!

Everything is precut to your specs - no need to do any setup at all - NICE!

Getting close....

A quick sneak peak - not sure on the grey bar tape.

brakes need setting, and gears setup. then its done! will have it completed today.

This is just sooooo insanely pretty build.  Wow.

Not the worlds best light - and i made the error of not being in Biggie Smalls! so will have to redo this photoshoot.
