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.

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!

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.
