Well - I expect some will be relieved to hear its arrived and I'll stop going on about it? 😉 Thought I'd post some pre-build photos for posterity 🙂

That looks [s]FAST[/s] quick that does 😉
I have always loved the look of raw carbon fiber bikes but couldn't trust my self to own one as i'm a clumsy oaf.

I am also a bit clumsy but I hope to do it justice more than that! 😳

Fitted only the BB so far as riding taking up all my time 😉

If anyone is interested frame weight almost bang on 2Kg with shock and seat post clamp.

That does look really very nice indeed. Have you decided on the components?

God I hate stupid bike technology acronyms though. Why would anyone 'FAST' plastered all over their frame? It's not a cheap supermarket special. They really should have gone for RAD: Regressive Angular Design. Or AWESOME: Anti-Wobble Extreme Suspension Ovalised Micro Extension. 🙄

Yup components should be Fulcrum Red Metal 1, F120's, XT x10 Group, Ritchey WCS carbon bars, Hope BB, Seatpost and Stem. Built up for marathons not uber lightweight racing.

@cynic-al - thanks 🙂

Very nice, anybody want an old Virtue!
...but isn't the Edict 100mm travel with the Virtue at 120/130mm; you best get some new forks as well Foxy 😉

Everyone's happy.

I like my Felt F65 a lot, 1300gm frame, nice and comfy.

As I also have an Orange 5 Janesy then that maybe why it appeals 😉 LOL

@Fuzzy - Martin I can fit then at 120mm or 100mm with a handy spacer 🙂 They are new 😉

Gonna try the frame @ 120mm and then 100mm and see what I like better 🙂

Brake hoses look a bit short.

And your valves don't line up.

^ sorry, always wanted to say that.

Looks very nice.
If I could have several bikes, I think I'd get something like this for things like the 24/12 etc.....

Thanks Stumpy, LOL - that's the plan - BM3D, Bikefest 12 Hr solo type of thing 🙂

Probably still be way back from the top 10% but at least I'll be comfy and enjoy myself 🙂 or AGNI ?

I expect you will be in the top 10% with all that training you are putting in. Anyhthing after May should be a good result. Witha all those base miles in the legs.
