Mine should arrive this month. I have a Cilla and then I have a Fidah and Keela in the build que for later this year. I wouldn't keep giving Tom my money if these weren't truely exceptional bikes!ArtifactsInMotion wrote: ↑Sun Jun 04, 2023 7:13 amBuild slot for a Sidhe locked in for April 2024. Interested to see more of those frames built between now and then.
Right now, DA92 + Bora Ultra WTO80s. After having a bike with DA92, I don't think I'll ever move away from the hood shape. I think the WTO80s are an exceptionally underrated wheelset (and certainly bling with the carbon hubs). Not to mention the traditional 21-spoke lacing pattern is just perfection for a disc brake wheel.
I'm loving mine, Cilla, and find I use it for all different types of riding from gravel, road even commuting... I had Tom do a few tweaks a little while ago and moved to his newer handlebar design which, I don't know why, I'm finding massively better...ArtifactsInMotion wrote: ↑Sun Jun 04, 2023 6:58 pmRight now, DA92 + Bora Ultra WTO80s.

I am still exploring anodizing/coating/paint schemes for the frame, but it will definitely be avoidant of any blues/reds/purples and instead focus on more natural golds, browns, etc.
... but now tempted to order a titanium 1-piece aero chainring for a bit of bling...
Looks stunning!! Let us know how you get on... any thoughts on needing a chain catcher on that setup, or Tom feel there's enough tension in the setup...CustomMetal wrote: ↑Fri Sep 01, 2023 6:57 pmNew bike day! 7.9kg without pedals. Mainly due to wheels which are 1248g 55/60 and not hookless
Gears are 50-10/33 but because the wheels are soo light and stiff it climbs like it's got a motor. However the Ti absorbs the road buzz. I'm racing it in the club 10 on Monday which will be interesting but this bike is next level
Absolutely a WOW bike! To my eyes, the grey chainring looks a bit off, but nonetheless another WW-pictured machine which will sit on my "perhaps one day something similar" listCustomMetal wrote: ↑Fri Sep 01, 2023 6:57 pmNew bike day! 7.9kg without pedals.

The chainring is narrow wide and the RD has a clutch plus won't be taking it off road so should be fine.crlincoln wrote: ↑Mon Sep 04, 2023 1:12 pmLooks stunning!!

Nice when is yours due? Yeah they are the best wheels I've ridden. Compliment the frame and the ride perfectly. What build spec you going for?ArtifactsInMotion wrote: ↑Sat Sep 16, 2023 7:42 pmThose Strada weights are INSANITY! Congrats! Definitely got me hyped up for my Sidhe
At this point, unless Classified somehow cooks up a 21-spoke configuration that'll work with Campy wheels, a partially-painted+anodized frameset with matching 1x crankset for matching with a classified setup. I'm still on the fence with going SRAM Red and reserving that decision until I see the next gen which is hopefully before my build spot in April 2024CustomMetal wrote: ↑Sat Sep 16, 2023 8:03 pmNice when is yours due?
