I have a set of Enve 4.5AR with 240Hubs still available that I currently dont use.....so they will go on my fiadh. Only question is what groupset.....especially as nothing is really available on the market. I just managed to find a 80th Anniversary Campagnolo Groupset for my Pegoretti, and have placed an order for the new DA. But I m ight just have to wait to build my Fiadh up, or cannabalise the only bike I m not attached to.......the Cervelo Caledonia.

Looks like there's a few fiadh's coming soon :D I'm hoping mine will arrive some time in April.... I've had my lbs sourcing parts since December due to predictied shortages... AXS 1x build on mine... LBS reckon he could have re-sold my SRAM AXS power meter several times as they are now back ordered until October....

My wheels are all Campag, either WTO 45s (when road riding) or Shamal's (not roading riding)... I just like Campag wheels.... shame they don't do a 650b....

Naaaaah...this is not my style, I got a fair deal from them and I pledged, so I won´t feel comfy running away, because I changed my mind.. besides I´ve already sent the payment.. Okey, they are not going to be super light, but I am sure they will fit greatly with my future machine from Tom :)

Besides, I got rather excited about Powershift hub from Classified, as I would like to ride oval rings and single 1x would be a limiter for me, but it seems the efficiency losses inherent to the planetary hubs are not magicaly solved here neither :cry: And throw away 6-7% of my very limited watts as soon as the road ramps up really is not that much appealing :noidea: sigh
