and the full build. I only needed direct mount brakes and a fucking press fit (BB86) bottom bracket.
> white bar tape
yes I know, it's sexo.
> direct mount brakes
why are people using di*k brakes again? holy shit the braking power is really good. because they're the older Ultegra 8000 and not 8100 version, and did cost half of what the 8100 would have cost.
> wheels
I had them laying around, they're from Trek anyways, so it matches the bike.
> tires
thanks again Mr. Benko, those Vittoria Rubinos 25mm were dirt cheap, although they are the older pre-graphene version, but they should have a bit better rolling resistance
> bidons
from my tour de suisse haul
> press fit bottom bracket
I have no idea why you would do that on a aluminium frame, but let me squeak at it when I'm trying to get them out again.
> ultegra cranks
I wanted 52-36 front rings and it was simply cheaper buying a whole ultegra crankset than just the 105 chain rings. looking forward to them disintegrating after getting in contact with water.
