Looks nice and clean.
Leave the hoods, they are a nice touch.
Quite a brand name on the down tube! ("Motherland" in Russian, at least.)

Previous bikes were a CAAD3 and CAAD8. This project came from inspiration of Noca, he has several steel road bikes and some track all steel. So the idea was to have for 2015 a custom steel frame and participate in the Spanish "quebrantahuesos".
The material choosen was deda zero steel for all except seat tube (deda only had 31. and like this we saved 120 g just with 27.2 mm. It behaves like a dream very solid and responsive and with 7.5 Kg even don't look steel. I loose 20 kg so cannot complain with bicycle weight
Like almost all my previous bikes most of the components are second hand, good deals here and there.... and this one is also that is why some components will change allong time or when something appears.
Paint was fully "Noca" design and only the name I choose to remember my family, to "ryde with them" and also a reminder of those who are not with us anymore.

OK, with your description, I capitalize the key word in my earlier comment: QUITE a brand name on the down tube.
Well done.
Well done.
I'm having a small issue.
Previously I run with campagnolo zonda and 25c tyres with no problem. Now with the eastons and tufo 24c I notice some small rub in the front brake. If the brake cable is loose, brake (super record) arm will force the tyre down. So I only have a very limited position to run all with no rubbing. I have maz 1 mm between tyre and brake at the top.
The fork is a DEDA RS with only 367 mm from drop to crown, isn't this very few?

Nice! What's the frame weight?
My Ritchey also has Ritchey dropouts, and it's 1.77kg! Great weight.
