Are you reinforcing the stem yourself? I'm curious about this process.
Nope, is a darimo option. Usually for heavier riders, but because of the force exerted in hill climbs I've gone for it

Yeah, makes sense. I saw the test of Darimo vs some other stems in this forum, and they did come out looking a little flexy. Let us know how you go in terms of weight added and sense of of stiffness.

Bike back from paint and just 🤯🥰!! Can't recommend the guys at Gun Control Paint/Wyndy Milla/Spoon Customs highly enough!!

Looks way better in the sun as the gold flecks in the laqour really show through.

Need to re-weigh. Also the crank turned up 2 months early

Look what just arrived!!
Bear in mind this is with the heavier/stronger resin on the rear wheel and Sapim sprint spokes on the rear for extra stiffness 🤯

nice. Have you considered berd spokes? my set weighs in at 753g. also, you can save some weight with veloflex records and a pyc sp1101 chain. Top cap and expander can also be both lighter and cheaper, reference my sub-5 on a budget if you like. GLHF

PS: how do y'all get your THM claviculas so quick, I've been waiting for 5 months now lol

I ordered my THM in May... I considered berd but my focus is a stiff race bike first, that happens to be light hence why I have sprint spokes in the rear.

I wanted to get this up and running and then maybe looks at a few more weight saving options. The corsa speeds were chosen for a combination of RR and weight while being a bit more durable than the veloflex. Hopefully I won't regret that decision 😳

Thanks for the tip ok your thread, I'll check it out 🙏

Ordered mine from Starbike on 24.04 and received on 17.06. Much faster than waiting for Skypivot.

Yeah I got mine from Sigma Sports. Meant I didn't get slammed with EU taxes as I live in U.K.

Should get my saddle/Seatpost combo from Berk in November then I can get her built 🥳

I am planning on getting some schmolke shifter clamps at some point. Be interested to see what weight I end up at

The combination of a toddler and the bike not being ready meant no 😭 but aim to do the whole TT and hill climb season next year. Will keep an eye out for you 👌
