    Just swap out the black chain ring for the older one. Might to it with mine. Always liked the look of the older chainset.

    ^very small frame. "Normal" size must be closer to 5.5. Too heavy!

    The photographer could surely have put a bit more effort into the backdrop.

    In the case of gears and brakes, fewer is more.

    Ooh... stewards' enquiry here I think.

    Course I understand the distinction but here.... not sure it's correct.

    Less brakes is more. I don't want fewer brakes. I want minimum front and back. So... two brakes. But I don't want ghastly, conspicuous clunky brakes, I want them streamlined, minimalist, pared to the bone.... "less". :pac:

    Anyway.

    Fewer pedants and less pedantry maybe is the real point. :rolleyes:

    Well, on that subject (and on topic), I always wanted a set of EE Brakes.

    I can't remember why, maybe just because they were really expensive. Or something about pad swapping being quick.

    Anyway, the looks are controversial....

    Saw a road bike with new SRAM red hydraulic (rim) brakes on it last week. - Not so pretty. The hoods are massive, presumably to house the fluid reservoirs.

    Agree with the previous generation SRAM red being generally a far prettier groupset - from derailleur to chainset.

    Angle makes it look much worse than it is. Slight forward rake which leaves it very comfortable. I think it was last setup for a downhill race so the saddle post was slammed and the nose tilted out of the way.

    I'll be adjusting the fit.

    eTap is so clean looking.

    This needs 303s, I think, the 404s are just a little too deep for the frame.

    Bidons too large, obvs, and needs a SISL2 chainset.

    Also, is the seat clamp backwards?

    Seat clamps backwards can help spread force on the seatpost so that it's not too focused on one spot where the slot normally is at the back.
