I built it up last night and rode it for an hour or two today. Its awesome and very fast (even with me on board!)

I thought I may aswell try and beat the record for the most amount of stem stackers aswell.

Spec?

What's on your bar tape as well?

Looks nice, apart from that tower of spacers, I like the saddle ๐Ÿ˜€

The bar tape is some deda stuff, thats the deda logo you can see but I wrapped it like a bit of and idiot.

I need to chop the steerer a bit more and perhaps get a new stem.

The spec is something like:

FM028 frame and forks, SRAM Rival group, Planet X model B wheels with GP4000s tires, Thomson stem, and some 46cm carbon bars off ebay and a Selle Italia SLR 135g'ss!!

It climbs dead well, dunno why but it feels quicker than my planet x (even though the wheels are the same and theres not much difference in weight). For some reason I can climb stood up for ages and not feel the need to sit down. Probably teck it over hardknot and wrynose tomorrow for a proper run out.

Bars are angled bit high! Looks stealthy though.
