[#7184943]

So, I bought a Spech carbon Crux, the Black and Red one (no picky though).......

Not exactly my cup of tea colour wise but I saw straight past that and got an idea in my head..... ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

So, took it to bits and sold everything except the frame and sent it off for a respray. 8)

Then bought this lot

There seems to be something wrong with your seatpost.

I ride MTB's but have road cycling friends. They like their spandex to complement their bikes. With this in mind I can't even imagine your attire. I think we need to see the whole ensemble!

Although I'm colourblind and had to ask my wife what the fuss was about, I like it!

Those hope things are utter clutter.. Why not go with shimano hydro or trp.
Given the range of colours that you could have gone for .. I'm lost for words. It obviously got off on the wrong foot with those hubs. But as long as you like it who cares...

Like that, apart from the hubs anyway, and the melty seatpost

I thought vtwin was pretty much dead now that there's proper hydro brakes?

All I can say is that I think those hubs are gopping. Quite like the pink though.

Good god. I saw the campag in the first picture and thought "this is going to be proper!" Sadly it went downhill after that.

I'm colourblind

That's probably never been as much of an advantage as it is now.

Needs white rims.

Nice effort.

Black saddle with white bar tape? No.

The hubs and the disc calipers go together, the decals on the rims need colouring in with a sharpie, the bar tape needs changing to black, the seatpost needs a cup of water.

The pink on the frame, whilst on its own is quite nice, but the graphics should have been dark grey.

But good effort though, does it do mud ?

Agree with the clutter comment. When DA or Ultegra is that good with full hydro, and Di2 if required, choosing Campag for a build like that is, and I'm going to say it, A Silly Thing.

Silly.

Messy bodge it is, then!

(SRAM do a full hydro CX set up as well, which would also be better than your Campag)

As it is, I rather like the frame colour. Not the hubs/rims though. Not at all. White tape is wrong, pedals look shonky and WTF is on your downtube? But, the paint job is rather lovely.

Sram have had "problems" with their system....The magnetic strap on the d tube is the "shut off" for the EPS.

Brilliant!! You need to ditch the wheel decals though, spoil it I reckon, plain black would work much better.

Mechanical/hydro? Not any more, that was last year. Works fine now.

Another messy bodge, then?
