Very nice! I have the same frame. But, weight? ;)
Ready to ride, as pictured, 7.97kg. I was pleased that it scraped under 8kg even with what must be the heaviest 11sp cassette that Campag offers, Centaur 12-32. That weight of course is not impressive here but I too think the value is exceptional.

I wanted to build some new wheels for this bike. I ordered a pair of NXT39ARX rims just before new year and they arrived six weeks later (UK). Price was about £400 delivered. Nextie included some merch with the rims: a branded baseball cap.

The rims are 39mm deep, 29mm wide, 25mm internal, hookless, gloss UD finish. They felt very light, showing as 401g on my scale. I was impressed.

I built them up with Sapim D-light spokes and Novatec D611/D612 CL disc hubs. It was the easiest build ever, the rims barely went out of true at any point and took the full spoke tension happily. The bare wheels came in at 675g / 783g for a total pair weight of 1458g. Muc-off valves and Challenge Strada Bianca TLR tyres complete the package.

I've put some km onto them now and the wheels feel lovely. I am particularly taken with the floated ride feel of the Challenge 30mm tyres running at 55 - 60psi.

Can anyone advise what thru axles are needed for this frame - looks like to keep costs down these now don't ship with thru axles from some vendors.

How long are these taking to arrive? I ordered a GR039 from Tantan mid-Feb and I still don't have it end of Apr. For $170 shipping, you'd think it would be a little faster...

Edit: Update - So looking back at my emails with them. I paid them Jan 21st, they sent me a picture of the frame March 2nd, tracking number March 8, and the UPS has just started showing tracking and is scheduled to arrive April 30th.
