  • Oi, stop porning over other people's Caad10's and get back to work on mine audible whipcrack. That does look bloody lovely though.

    So an update: I opted for the Ultegra 6870 as @croft tracked down a PBK deal which worked out at below £750. More than I was hoping to spend, but I'm sure it'll be great. @amey has very kindly given me a shit load of wheel suggestions in the black/sub £400 category so I'm having a browse through those to find out what could work.

    So I still need:

    1. Bars - Looking at something like 3T Erganova, and I can upgrade the stem/post to match in due course. Will probably have some black Lizard Skins tape as mentioned above, as it looks ace.
    2. Pedals - looking at getting some Ultegra 6800's to match the group, or Look Keo's in black to continue the ninja prick theme
    3. Someone to put the groupset on/do the cabling out in NY, seeming as this is way above my head I'd rather pay someone to do it properly and do the other bits I can.
    4. 11spd Wheels - Can probably stretch a bit higher if need be.

    Think that's it for the important bits!

  • Cheers for the heads up, I'll drop him a PM. The reason I'm pulling for these is I've used them before on a reasonably long ride and really liked the position/flat top, and I don't have the luxury of testing these bits before they go on the build.

    @sirbikealot I'll have a looksie at what I'd likely save in weight and money there. Wheelset, probably £500 max but I'm a bit limited to ready-built ones. I'm swaying towards debranded RS81's or something in that vein.
