    Wow, as first road bikes go that's really nice - post pics as the build progresses.

    Can see the finished article being a nice piece of kit

    Good luck with it, looks very nice. Open Pros can be part of a very nice wheelset, I have a pair on 32 spoke Ultegra hubs with very solid spokes (for my tourer!) that at 1,800g 'actual' weight are actually lighter than most entry level road wheelsets. You can build them far lighter, my favourite wheels are 1,450g using a DT rim generally considered as an Open Pro alternative in the same ballpark (DT Swiss RR1.1.)

    1st road bike?

    Whatever happened to the rule ' you have to earn that carbon bike' ? uh?
    Was anyone 1st car a Mercedes? No, It was a peice of merde!
    I refuse to congratulate you on the basis that ... It's not fair :pac:

    ( I will still however congratulate the bike itself for looking nice ) :p
