The cleanliness, the kit, the color scheme: very well done, enjoy the rides!

Thanks for the kind words and the vote.

I originally had a Bontrager Comp fork ready for this bike (painted by Chris in the same Ferrari Grigio Alloy as the frame), but the Syncros Powerlites were always the preferred option so when they became available I was quite pleased.

The black crown looks nice with the silver legs and they would no doubt look good on your bike but the way the legs protrude the top of the crown I think looks a bit strange!
