Hi mate its a 58cm and cause of my short leg long arm build fits me at just under 6ft 4...Still seems a bit heavy by road bike standards of 18-19lbs though

Re: Re:

...Rolled back the rubber hood of one of the 105 levers and the tape seems to overlap the lever...not sure if its possible to just remove one and replace with another....

This is normal . You put a piece of tape across the back of the clamp to make taping around the lever neater . Look at the fixing bolt inside the levers . They should both be M6 . Should go straight on .

Thanks to Mike's advice the RSX STI levers were fitted successfully this afternoon. They work like a dream so thanks to Kaz for the levers, and bonus cable set also! Gave it a good clean and degrease also and the finish is stunning (well to me anyway!) So finally a few decent pics of it!
