both are looking great! the black transparanent is the first time its really transparaent   


what kind of saddle and cockpit are you running?

I’ve finally taken my SL266 out for its first outdoor rides, and it’s honestly the best bike I own! Fast, comfortable, and a total blast to ride.

Last year, I spent most of my time on a steel frame with modern road geometry(in total 17tkm), and I’m impressed that the SL266 easily keeps up in terms of comfort! Up until now, I mostly used it on the trainer to dial in my position since it’s winter here in Germany. The only thing I’ll likely change is the cockpit length. I’m currently running the stock 100mm/80mm reach combo, but I think 120/80mm would be ideal. I’ll see how it goes after a few more miles.

I’ve also 3D-printed a few parts for the LTK cockpit if anyone is interested: adapters for FSA spacers and headsets, direct headset covers, and a 7/8/9-degree wedge for the Wahoo/Garmin mount. Without the wedge, the mount pointed upwards at an awkward angle; in my opinion, it needs to be flush with the stem to look right. Now it looks perfect! I’ll try to post some pictures later.

I’ll take some proper photos of the bike once the weather clears up. By the way, the current weight is 7.4 kg with a full Ultegra group, a standard wheelset (1450g, 45mm depth), 30/32mm GP5000 AS TR tires, and Favero power meter pedals. Next i will try my deeper wheelset with lighter tires and look whats changing
