Ouch! That's opened my eyes .. I didn't realise they went for such a high price! And with the drillium and a bit of flood filling I'm sure they'll fetch a bit more on the open market if the right buyer sees them, as it's nicely done and not over the top.

Anyway, sorry to be a 'pain' but all them numbers are a bit out of my range for a casual purchase. I may even have to look at something different, like some Modolo's when the need arises .. But I'm in no rush for this project though.

A grand project is not something that blooms overnight Ed .. It takes time to develop.

Got to say I was a touch skeptical this would come together when I saw the red parts being collected earlier in the thread .. but seeing it fully built it looks a real treat

Hi Vince .. If Tecton is not interested and the price is right I could be interested in them brake calipers.

Sorry about the thread jack!

Ouch! ..

Pics on the scale please.

Pic as sale ..

Unsurprising really when the two Connex 10s chains at the top of the chart are stainless steel .. But the rest of the chart makes good reading from my perspective

@ Skinny .. Here's a test Wipperman did in 2010 .. If that's any use for your decision making process

The columbus minimal is a highly rated fork. If money is no object then AX Lightness forks and THM forks are designed for use with non integrated headsets. You buy an additional cap to use them with integrated frames.

The other question is what headset are you going to use? If it's the forum favourite King, then because of the massive bottom cup you can get a reasonable transition into an integrated fork like an Enve or 3T .. Look at Baum pictures of the fork transition area to see what I mean or the pic I've edited in of a Bob. My non integrated Enigma I used a Tune headset and the transition to an Enve fork is near perfect.

Got a heylight post here ..

10.63! Arghh my eyes ;)

Look for a set of new series Red cranks in BB30 on the EBay .. junk the rings and fit something nicer and you'll come out near a hollowgram. It's the rings on the new Red cranks that are the boat anchor.

Quick and easy 8g for you .. Assuming you're not using the bottle cage mounts? .. At the moment they've probably got stainless screws in them as blanks. Take them out and put Nylon screws. If you are using the cage mounts use Auminium screws for 4g saving .. that's WW OCD!

Ok .. Force rear mech = 12g saving = £7/g roughly and I will agree some performance benefit by going short cage. To get that weight difference Sram use a magnesium alloy inner link and a carbon outer cage on the Force mech. Most of the gain is in the carbon outer cage. I haven't seen an Apex mech close too, but all the rest of the range you can simply change the cage assuming you have the replacement parts.

spending more than you intended on something which will be less you hoped.

Tester summed up my 2p .. Don't take this rudely but if you're limited on budget you need to plan £/gram. I see you saying you need to make the group set Force. What's the £/gram? The Apex rear mech + shifters are quoted at 534g and the same Force combination is quoted 481g .. That depending where you buy is £7/g saved! and not any performance gain.

Looking for the above monies. I’m going to post these components inclusive of the price .. I’m located in Manningtree, Essex .. Payment through PayPal. Please follow any dibs with a PM. Thanks.

Yep spelling isn't my strong point ! .. I agree Christmas could be the reason as I'd say its a really good price ..

I'm with Dammit on that one .. You have to respect Cannondale's mainstream achievements with Aluminium and lately Carbon, even if you don't partake in the foolish or excessive adulation of the Cannondale track that most of the fixed gear community does ..

Yes .. Shimano will work just the same as the Campagnolo or Modolo ones

Can't believe this is still not sold! .. Looks a nice usable Colnago

at least it looks cheap.

Function > Form .. it's an artisan product

Like the colour .. I'd say it's almost got a bit of Klein about it :)

That Tiso is not going to be cheap I'm guessing based on the usual cost of Tiso parts

My 2p .. For aesthetics don't get a Red or Force crank, they'll be too 'stocky' with the small frame tubing .. similar on the stem you'll have to be careful with your choice. If you look at the Colnago with the 3T stem a page back you'll see what I'm trying to say. It needs something slim.
