Expensive but apparently this stuff is the business.
There is even instructions somewhere on application and you don't need very much.

Having had a look at various wheelsets I have settled on the Hope 20Five Pro-4.
I would have liked to build something up but these are just too good value for money and I will eventually rebuild the front with a dynamo hub when funds permit.
Boring black hubs though as none of the hope colours really go with neon yellow although the orange could look cool.

@Chalfie more triangles than an airport sized toblerone.

The kit colour came from my business branding being green and grey. Britsih Cycling also recommended something bright to make it easier to identify during racing.
@croft not that it matters but it would be interesting to see when you guys first proposed design, we could then go for a patent war. Your skin suit is pretty nice, how is the fit and quality of the Millitag stuff?
We also have the matching team bus.

Building this up as an endurance bike to race TAW next year. First new bike I've had for 7 years.
It will initially be built up with Ultegra 6800 and upgraded to 6870 DI2 once I find some cheap bits.
Could do with some advice on wheels/tyres. First set of discs and always like the DT Swiss hubs, probably go with the 350 and a front dynamo. No idea on rims but should be at least 32 spoke count. Thinking Schwalbe s-one tyres but I know there are better tyres out there.
Also need some help with brakes in regards to whether or not I go for TRP spyres or HY-RD?
Finishing kit will be whatever I have in parts bin and will gradually upgrade. SMP Dynamic saddle.
Also saw someone posting some nice carbon mudguards recently but again welcome suggestions.

@skinny nice gears. Do you have a 30t inner ring? I assume the shift on the di2 is still good?
-
@Thrasher Should have one. Let me get back to you by lunch tomorrow once I check the workshop.

Spoke to him already. @onyerbike how large a tyre am I going to get on one of these with guards? What are you running? Ideally I'd be looking at Hunts and 30mm tyre.

I'm sure this has been done elsewhere. If so can someone point me there.
If not I'm looking for a frame that is di2 compatible, disc brakes, 30mm tyre clearance with guard mounts, not carbon.
Current contenders are Bowman Pilgrims, Charge Plug 3, Genesis Datum, Kinesis Racelight.
I realise some of these don't meet exact criteria but that are a starting point and I will happily drill a frame or compromise on type of guards.
Looking at frameset only for not much more than £800.
Cheers

@Lolo I'm now leaning towards the Juin Tech R1 or the new X1.
Might even take a run up to the cycle show Birmingham tomorrow for a look around as Edge the UK distributors are there.
