    Thanks Letape.

    Tommasini Fire Frame with Campagnolo Record EPS .
    Carbon forks.
    Veloflex Vlaanderen (28mm tubs) on 50mm 25mm wide chinese wheels.

    Kudos is needed to my local Lbs who did the hard work in fitting the battery internally and routing the cables inside in a very limited space.

    Thats it.
    And for the benefit of my wife ,if she ever reads this, I paid no where near the amount he was asking for it .
    Not even a fraction of the asking as he was desperate to sell it.
    Deffo a steal.

    Worth imo if you have the change to throw at it, you're not going to see many like it and it stands out for the right reasons.

    Known bug in adverts, if you put the price in as 150 it publishes at 1500. That silly website..

    I had one of these as a kid. Thanks for finding that image. I've been looking for years and only just realised from the image I had spelled the name incorrectly.

    Jebus that AXS is not the neatest the rear derailleur is fugly. Power meter takes away from it aswell but the frame and cockpit are lovely :D

    I disagree!
    The lack of sticky out cables makes it look very tidy!

    I'd take the cables over what looks like an enclosure for triple A batteries hanging off your derailleur the front is actually worse. The rear looks like a derailleur setup for a much larger cassette.

    i quite like the chainring setup. bike might look better against a less cluttered background?

    You guys and that YouTube bottom bracket dude have ruined cannondales (& Cervelos) for me :(

    Anyway, that frame is far too much of a generic aero silhouette for me. You could write any number of manufacturers' names on the top tube and I wouldn't suspect a thing or know the difference
