More playing tonight, this time with the day-one.. new Canti brakes came.. tight fit at the front due to rack.. Also there was a fitting kit missing, although I had one in the garage.. but will get on to SJS in the morning and get it replaced..

Enough spending for a while!!

Here it is all done.. It looks matt because it was just brought in from the garage.. Quite like the RS05's on it. mean looking all black.. 11.35kg as above.. the wheel swap will prob loose about 800g..

PS.. I haven't set anything up yet - seat etc etc as my ankle is buggered..

Good stuff, looking well..

Got the tyres on last night, No problems with the tubeless, just popped straight out. Although the front hub seems to be un-centred on the wheel, so will get them left in to get trued / aligned.. Although I stole my brothers Shimano RX05's so bike it finished albeit with his wheels.. looking good too
The Stans with the 30mm tubeless are extremely light, 2.8kg all in for both wheels, tyres, discs, skewers and cassette..

Just need my ankle to get fixed now!!

All taping down last night, cables cut.. So just waiting on my tyres which RM tried to deliver to my work this morning.. Hopefully I will get them on Monday..

Although, we went trampolining this morning and within 2 mins I went over on my ankle and tore my ligaments.. So that sorts any riding for the time being.. Wick..:-(..

Like mine above? although sticking to the front more?

I had them coming from the shifter and in below to keep the bars round when my hand is resting on them.. excuse the cable length and scatter cushions :-)

Although since that pic I changed the routing location at the shifter (105 5700 has two points of exit) and ran one bind to the bottom and one to the front bottom..

Pete, how did you route your cables from the shifters along the bars? are they both under the bars or to the front or spilt front and back?

Yeah my brothers 2013 CDF is the same as yours.. Just strange that it's the lowest part of the bike.. The cable is sitting on top of the plastic gear cable guides..

Bosses down the middle of the downtube and then one along the rear stay to the brake.. here are a couple of pics..

Callipers installed

You can just see the cable boss in the top of the photo

Rear stay - cable boss on underside of stay

Calipers on, just waiting on tyres from Evan cycles.. Quick question about cable routing for the back brake. does it just go under the bottom bracket between the two inner gear cables? seems a bit odd to me but nowhere else for it go..

Yeah, the wheels would be a fortune to build, but I gave my brother bad money for them ;-)..

Got bar tape and headset spacers at lunch and a 80mm stem.. So will sort that later.. Also bolt the callipers on..

It's the wheels, front is 720g.. never weighed the rear.. but I would say about 1500g for both.. also tubeless so will be no tubes.. :-)

At least getting matching valve caps!! looks awesome.. enjoy it..

Callipers arrived, so just tyres, which have been dispatched by Evans.. Will need to go to my brothers anyway as he has a compressor to blow up the tubeless tyres..

Na, should just be over the 10kg mark..

Got at this tonight, still waiting on callipers and tyres to arrive, also seat post and clamp (but stole this one from my day-one.. Currently sitting at 9.15kg, with tyres at 330g each (30mm Mavic tubeless) and CX77 callipers 165g each to go on, so won't be far off 10kg finished. Just need to get some headset spacers and bar tape tomorrow..
I was worried about the white hubs on the black bike, but I quite like them tying in with the genesis and CDF frame text

Looking great.. just built mine up (nearly), putting pics up now..

you have put the skud on it now.. I always use a hairdryer to soften the glue first, should just peel off then.. then alcohol or similar to remove the glue

I'm building up my CDF tonight, might do the same with my Stans Alpha's as they are covered in stickers..

mean and moody.. get it done..

Hairdryer and sticky stuff remover

Looks great, get those stickers off the wheels..

Well, did you commute this morning? What weight is the finished bike? Did you get it below 10kg?

9 or 10 speed?

Do you still have the 7700 cassette? I will take it..

As the title, is there a cheaper alternative to use? as the 7700 has titanium sprockets and is £105!!! any other 9 speeds fit?
