Hi all I think I've been visiting this forum since 2010 and can't believe I've never even made a single post. I'm Ed and live in England and I have been riding road bikes since 2009.
Current bikes:
~1994 Steel bike setup as a time trial bike
2014 Boardman SLR Medium - With Dura Ace 7800 - Such a great light and stiff frame.
2014 Boardman SLR Large - As a lightweight singlespeed
2016 TCR Pro M/L - Frequently used in all weathers
2016 TCR SL M/L - This I'm putting a build together and I'd like some advice on parts as I'm slowly putting things together and I'd of course like it nice and light so looking for build advice.
This is how it currently looks (very much work in progress):
I'm very good at sourcing used parts and I'm most likely looking at 11 speed Dura Ace 9070/R9150 or 11 speed SRAM Etap for the shifting.
These are the current specs - I've written TBA where I want advice but I am OK with changing any parts:
