Second post for me! A while back the guys at EPX sold me a Nullarbor frame for a new project. My Speedster Roadie is still great, but for those long Sunday rides I needed a bit more speed and a bit less weight! I also got some EPX carbon forks and EPXTRAS seat post from the EPX team. The bars are a treat - Easton Delta Force carbon, and the drivetrain is all 105, a mix of silver and black. Wheels are mix of Shimano 550 and 540, with Vittoria Rubino Slicks. The shifters are 9-speed DuraAce. Getting the brakes right was tricky. I ended up using some reversed Crane Creek CrossTops normally meant for in-line braking, but the system works great. In my view its a much better solution having gears and brakes mounted close by, rather than on different bars!! Finishing touches are a Selle Prolink seat, Cinelli Groove stem, Sigma computer and Cinelli bar tape. Overall its a really comfortable, light and fast bike. The Sunday gang christened it "the Yellow Peril" after they found they (mostly) only saw the rear end of it!
Hmm......What's next? Its also amazing the attention it draws - everyone wants to know what it is and how it rides. EPX & Great!
