Did a first test ride today. Bike feels really great. All the roughness of the road is suppressed by the frame and forks - my bottom and hands were in heaven. It's really amazing how much of a difference such change makes. New photos: More in a Google album: goo.gl/photos/KMDFgh6Au3EMmx6J8

Some changes: Full 105/5700 to put cabling under bar tapes (+ Ultegra calipers) Fizik R3 handlebar PRO PLT stem Set of 50mm carbon tubular wheels (Jagu Elite 50W) + Conti Sprinter 25C tubular tires
Final weight should be around 7.2-7.3kg
Microshift gear probably will end up on T3A that will serve as a bad weather bike

That's a nice looking bike svefn Not too enamoured by the name though. Does sound a little like some kind of allergic reaction or personal condition! Nevertheless, a very nice looking bike. Enjoy the ride!

Nice bike, couldn't resist a quick google translate - 'Wind Expert' sounds slightly less antisocial

How are the wheels performing svefn? I've been looking at those, seem to be good value lowish weight and aero.

How are the wheels performing svefn ? I've been looking at those, seem to be good value lowish weight and aero. If you're not afraid of tubulars, then absolutely go for them. Comparing to Fulcrum Quattro there's almost 800g of weight difference on entire set (incl. tubulars/tyres). Wider rim plus 50mm of height and the set is super aero - most visible after descents and in group rides. They roll really smooth, look great and the hub is super loud (some say that this gives +10 points to awesomeness, and makes your coffee taste better... not sure why). Oh... and value to performance - absolute winner (I think you still can get 2016 model for about Β£500 - promo price). Cons (or pros if you're adrenaline addicted): tubular tyres and 50mm carbon rim.

Hadn't noticed you had changed to carbon wheels, I was thinking of the Fulcrum Quattros.
