More pics of the pink Trek! Looks great (debadge the stem though)
Old bike with new bar tape took her out for a spin yesterday. Thinking about a re-paint after this winter, maybe something Fluo yellow / black.

Work in progress.. I couldn't find a CX that could tempt me this year, and I've been looking for a while, even considering Open and the 3T Exploro.
I decided against buying new this year and instead refurbishing my trusty old (and very heavy) alu CX from 2011 to fit an integrated Di2 groupset I had laying around (10s).
It turned out the process wasn't as straight forward as I had hoped. I planned to use the drain hole on the chainstay to route the wire through the BB house and up into the seat tube and a hole on the downtube to go the same route through the BB, into the seat tube. The holes from these tubes going into the BB are tiny though, approximately 8 mm in diameter. The E-tube plug is roughly 5 mm, and I drilled the external holes to 6 mm, avoiding the welds.
I used an old shifter cable as a guide, duct taping the Di2 wire to the shifter cable. The internal junction box had to be fitted inside the seat tube and I stuffed the battery into the seat post.
This bike is an old beater and built with very thick aluminium but it seems nothing was damaged in the process. Picture of the entire bike to follow later.

Ritchey Superlogic Evocurve bars
Ritchey Superlogic stem
3T Ionic VR 25 Team Stealth seatpost
Rotor 40T Q ring

Just finished having this one built:
Frame: 2016 Ridley X-Night
Group: Chorus 11sp save the rear mech which is an Athena long cage
Bottom Bracket: Wishbone Ultra Torque PF30
Cassette: Shimano 105 5800 11-32
Brakes: Avid BB7 Road S
Bars/Stem: Deda Zero 100
Seatpost: Deda Zero
Saddle: Prologo Scratch Pro
Pedals: Shimano XT M770
Wheels: 32 spoke H Plus Son Archetype rims/Shimano RS505 hubs/Michelin Mud 2 tires
Built on a budget so not much effort made to reduce weight. 9.1kg as it sits.

My first CX bike, looking forward to taking it for a spin once I get a spare 5 mins. Changed the RD for a long cage and fitted a 10-42 cassette as most of my riding involves plenty of hills. Only other change was the saddle (Prologo Nago), bars (3T Ergonova Carbon CX) and stem (3T ARX II Stealth). Still need to go tubeless. XT pedals and some cheap Elite cages round out the build.
8.9kg as pictured so not a WW for sure but that Alex Rims wheelset is a bit of a boat anchor. Will look to change that out for something a bit lighter once my wallet recovers. Will probably change the seatpost and collar for something lighter and more forgiving too.
