I eventually finished this last night.
Apologies for using MTB pedals, but it was all I had to hand to get it home.
Wheels are just temporary until I've finished building my 105 hubs onto my open pros.

seat post looks 'previously enjoyed', aside from that -
fruity!
Looks a bit like my Litespeed Antares I am selling on the classified ads at the mo
The seatpost isn't new, it came with the frame. I think the mark is just some carbon grease though from playing around with the height while i was out riding earlier!
i did just spot your Antares in the classifieds! I thought it almost uncanny having just bought this 2 weeks ago!
"Previously enjoyed"?
Sloppy seconds, eh?
Carbon back end, but is the rest alu or ti? p.s. i like it.
captain, i'll have less of that from you! The saddle and bar tape have always been mine, that's close enough for me (contact points covered at least)!!!
carbon back end, alu main frame. they did a ti version called a siena i think.
Too much black... needs a splash of colour imo!!
well, part of the usage of this needs to be as my Ninja commuter so i chose as much black componentry as i could.
I know it`s MTB... but a slash of colour does the job! IMO of course
Always liked that Pace, just looks right!
I like the Litespeed, bars look a little bit tilted upward, harder to tell these days with anatomic drops though. Man's gears or compact?
The bars are actually dead on flat, I set them up this morning with my phone. I think there's some weird perspective on the photo.
Compact with 25-11 cassette, 172.5 arm length.
I like the stealth look, much better than those horrible garish logo bikes some seem so fond of. Well done.
