Frame is leaving Colorado today! 😬

You see, I've learned my lesson! :D

As someone in this thread kindly pointed out to me a while back, it's deployant instead of deployment clasp.

If only the custom option was still available at Fizik's :(

They've stopped that unfortunately, otherwise for sure an Antares with green details would have been an option.

The leather and tires match quite nicely actually.

First, let's get hands on that frame and take it from there!

Passo Campolongo, Dolomites

OCD got the best of me and I've opted for Eggbeaters two with the green spring instead of the red.

As I only own two of the bourbon Silca water bottle cages, I'll probably move those on to the Baum and I'll use a total of 3 King cage ti's on the Mosaic.

Also got some Fizik Terra bartape in green, I ended up using the Tune tape on the Baum as it was in need of replacement. Still not sure what combo to use:

Selle Italia SLR leather with matching tape
Fizik Antares black with Fizik perforated black tape
Fizik Antares black with Fizik Terra green tape

Potentially, use the Fizik Antares from the Baum and place a full black Antares on the Baum.

I'll give Mosaic a nudge tomorrow to see where we are with the frame.

You don’t need to return to Merlin. Warranty is global, get in touch with Campagnolo North America and they’ll sort you out if need be. Shoot me a DM if you need some contact details. :)

Post mount would only make sense if you’re going for a flatbar setup indeed. If you’re using a drop bar I’d look into flat mount as you’ve got a lot more options available that are suitable with sti / ergopowers use.

Post mount brakes?

One thing to keep in mind is warranty situations.

Unless you use entire drivetrains from the same manufacturer, it will be an issue if you face a warranty claim situation. Even if you experience ok shifting, using different brands can influence the overal wear and tear of your drivetrain. Different material chainrings might wear the chain out faster and therefore influence your cassette's wear as well.

There are some exceptions however. I'm using a Power 2 Max powermeter, I know the crank arms are produced by Campagnolo and I use them together with original Campagnolo chainrings. I notice no difference in performance (other than the obvious power data output) compared to the original chainset.

I've got one of the sailcloth waterproof ones for my Omega. I like the pre-assembled / fixed spring bars. It does stay fairly rigid imo.

I still prefer the bracelet over any of the straps I've got. It adds some chunkiness to the watch as most of the straps go down from a (in this case) 21mm lug width to an 18mm buckle which to me doesn't look as nice. Plus the bracelet features the micro adjust functionality that I often use.

Few hours back by now, busy day in the office 🤓

And turbo cottons ;) The Vittoria tires look a bit too pale compared to the old Corsa's imo.

Lovely bike JB, nice upgrade on the groupset.

Apologies, missed this one!

It’s in production as we speak, hope to be able to share some images in a week or 3, pending shipment and customs.

Told them I wasn’t in a rush to get the frame until September somewhere, hence it’s taking longer than a regular order.

I prefer Mac over Windows.

I was keen to get a kitted out Ipad Pro but found Capture One not to be supported on this which is a big dealbreaker for me in terms of editing options.

I'll probably still get one but a basemodel so I can avoid bringing the (much heavier) laptop with me when traveling for work.

Skyline

Thank you, no longer mine though. :)

That’s the one.

De Rosa Neo Primato ;)

Digging the color on the Faggin!

I'll be looking at a Fuji 8-16 next week.

Plan to venture a bit more often to the Dolomites to up my landscape photography skills. :)

Thou shall not touch the bike today...

XT 1 with the 18-55 lens for that money.

PM :)

Plus you keep the use of the original lenscap if desired. I personally still use it, the fit is superb.
