Principia Rex

[220kestrel]

Finally completed my latest project. The frame is from 2003 unless you know better. Sourced the frame from a fellow retro biker and kitted it out with mainly Ultegra 6500. Did 60 miles yesterday and it is all I hoped it would be. Love the rich blue colour and all the shiny bits.
I do have a FSA SLK carbon seatpost which does look right but I can't stop it creaking. Done all the obvious stuff. Anyone got any advice?

I must admit, I'm impressed! Even the tyres match well the decals.

For comfort, I'd suggest you to opt for compact curve handlebars later, with a longer stem to compensate the shorter reach.

Very well made! Congratulations.
