Ventoux split amongst Team Rad (me n mrs) ... a good day, hilly round there, good workout had by all.
My legs are saying 'what happened to the planned circuits and targeted hills to climb, those hills came at us from everywhere?' ... all good though!

If I go carbon and ultegra I will still be keeping my t3 so hopefully I will be still welcome I haven't been kicked out yet. Now all that remains on my bike off the T3 is stem, handlebars, brake calipers, chain & cassette and shifters. I managed to get an offer accepted on some Ultegra triple shifters with carbon levers from the US for cheaper than I could buy tiagra ones so they are winging their way over as we speak (type). Once they arrive I'll get a 10 speed cassette & chain and that should hopefully be the end of my spending for the time being. I'll still wear my TOC jersey with pride if Rad allows it Have you built it up yet...... I'd like to see some pics.... Plz

Very nice @robothamster....did you buy just the frame and put the t3 bits on it? Sort of.... Started with T3, replaced (in this general order) pedals, saddle, Wheels & tyres, seatpost, bar tape, chainset. Then bought the frame, which I couldn't resist because it was heavily discounted (but still a lot, I just got a ppi refund so treated myself) and needed a front mech as it was braze on rather than clamp. I then did the 75 mile ride and my rear derailler fell apart halfway so I bought a 105 rear mech and now there's not much original bike left lol.
