Just about ready to take on a maiden (outside) voyage!  Still playing with painting the bottle cages the same as the frame. There’s some small things to add still, but it’s currently 16.0 lbs, or something.something kg.

Put about 5000km on this frame, maybe about 2000 outside, 3000 on trainer

Had a minor fall so i had to replace derailleur hanger and pulley cage, bike is fast, dont feel like the frame is holding me back.
I do notice its a bit harsher on the front than any previous bike i had, not sure if its fork, handlebars or whatever else, but its not the end of the world

Paint looks great. You use spray gun or rattle cans?

Rustoleum Blue Cosmos for the color, and some spraymax 2k clear coat for protection.  Also hit the bottle cages with the color shift paint for more speed points.

It's not perfect, but certainly looks good from a few feet back.  Bike is currently hung up for the next couple weeks while 4iiii puts a power meter on the crank.  Really looking forward to getting that back and racing this bike.  Still need to snag some deeper wheels at some point...  Just gotta let the wife forget about the costs first
