    The Maserati Montante 8CTF is an odd-bod. So beautiful in some ways, yet impractical. €3600 and a two month lead time to build to your individual spec, I see. In some ways the disc brake looks out-of-place against the leather toe-lip straps - yet it is clearly a modern take on an old theme. Nice to have, dunno if I'd ever take it out on the road/track

    The brake lever is in a stupid position.

    I like the saddle.
    Nice to look at but maybe not so much to use.

    My new ride, sweet Betsy, a Focus Cayo 2.0:

    Have to say I think that Maseratti is awful. Trying hard to be beautiful but failing where so many others have succeeded.

    Disk brake is a very odd addition.
    Not sure the curved stays and seat tube add anything.
    Stem is in a very weird position.
    Silly placing of bar tape in track position with break lever on tops.
    So confused in every way.

    Just my two cents though

    Nice one!

    Assuming the frame isn't too big, the saddle looks a little high?

    Nice to find a post about your bike. This is my Cannondale. The eggs and bread was my Saturday breakfast run to Trader Joe's.

    Christ Rob I thought that was my own Ridley for a minute :pac:

    Looks smashing.

    Loverly !

    Presumably the 4ZA wheels supplied with her - it never occured to me that Ridley 'made' such nice deep profile carbon jobbies. Apparently, the 4ZA branded items are not just re-badged by Ridley, but actually fabricated specifically by/for them.....

    Anyway, brings me on to my next post.

    About 6 months go I made plans for a winter build of a TT rig - not that I'd ever even ridden one before, but I was taken with the idea of something 'different' ........and a few false starts later, mostly caused by having to re-plan my frame ideas.....and she's finished. I already have two Ridleys, and it was only a coincidence that I managed to pick up this frame in early January. Some parts were sourced from eBay and consumables were purchased new.

    With the help of purchases from a few lads on here, its built on a Campag mix (Chorus, Athena, Centaur) and I'm pleased with how its turned out. Its my first attempt at a build and was something for myself and my young lad to cut our teeth on. I like to add better wheels, aero seat post maybe and a better bottle cage, but budgets didn't permit at this point and they were 'sacrificed' in the short term at least.

    Lastly, thanks to Countrykid, Letape, bcmf & TheDocman for parts and to seamus & Route66 for some pointers on worn cassettes. I may have forgotten others who have helped, in which case apologies!

    Nope don't think so, haven't really tried it out yet but it felt right on the two short spins.

    Finally got my frame built up (excellent work by Andy in Staggs).

    Storck Scenero with SRAM Rival derailleurs front and back, SRAM Brakes/shifters, SRAM Callipers, Racepace Cadence crankset, Selle Italia Flite Team saddle, Kore Stem and Bars and FFWD F6C-C Wheels.

    Edit: All up it's weighing in at 18lbs which isn't bad considering I didn't aim for a lightweight build and those wheels aren't the lightest
