I like them better than my Dura-Ace they replaced. Campy are fine nothing wrong with them.. I got them because I wanted something different

Those new brakes look pretty cool. Ok, but tell me, I have Campy Record on one bike and Chorus on the other. Both late model 11 speed stuff. If you get on the brakes hard, I feel that they are so powerful that I can through myself over the bars. Aluminum rims, not CF. SO, coolness and blig aside, what are the benefits of these very nice looking brakes on the Crumpton over production Campy, for example?

Gaulzetti Corsa...the paint looks stunning in person. 14.06 lbs. It's the anti-carbon bike...no carbon parts at all. Believe it or not, this thing rides like a dream.

Very cool! But is it 2nd hand because it looks like the seat mast is chopped short? The topper is covering up the logo but aren't these custom?

They are custom...but he doesn't cut the seatmast for you. If you google gaulzetti corsa, you'll find a lot of people have had to cut the seatmast logo short.

Let's not forget the saddle shell is also 30% carbon composite. 
Seriously though, nice bike. Hot.

I googled and saw what you mentioned, but I'd be kinda peeved getting a custom frame like that and having to chop into one of the decals... Seems like it could be smaller or on the seat tube instead of up there on the seat mast to be cut, just IMHO... Still, a beautiful bike! Looks like about a traditional 48-50 cm, steep STA, slacker HTA, how long is the wheelbase? Is it a custom aluminum or carbon fork? Very clean looking bike! How you like the ride and handling?

Here is my new C'Dale SS. Got the 105 switched out with my ultegra, Except FD and crankset. The FD didn't want to fit and besides the clamp on my ultegra was aluminum and the 105 has the black clamp which matched my bike better so I left the FD and crankset on my ridley which I sold to my friend. Even though its the same brakes and levers it feels much more crisp and tight on this bike. I had new cables put on my Ridley 2 months ago, but it didn't feel this good. Took it on my first ride today and I was impressed.
I have to ride with the cone spacer on for a little bit. gonna ride it in a couple different positions just to make sure before cutting the steering tube. For now, this is how she sits until I can afford to make some changes(Not in any particular order)
-seat post
-stem
-bars
-carbon cages
-cut the steering tube
-new crankset
photoshopped the steering tube off. that just ruins the picture!
This also photoshopped, but my order through a friend is in and it will look just like this...

Nah, your legs are probably just right for you! I googled and saw what you mentioned, but I'd be kinda peeved getting a custom frame like that and having to chop into one of the decals...

How you like the ride and handling?Its a 49cm...52.5cm effective top tube. Not sure on wheelbase. Carbon fork but with aluminum steerer.
As for the ride? Amazing! Believe it or not, it's a pretty comfortable bike. At the same time, you receive a lot of road feedback...the kind that's helpful as a rider or racer...but it doesn't beat you up. Corners violently and confidently! Very efficient and stiff!!! When you give it gas, it feels like it SNAPS forward!
Best bike I've ever ridden. And I've owned and ridden a lot of fancy bikes.

Once again, H.O.T.
Custom Di2 install + Lightweights + Sick Crankset = H.O.T.
A fan of how you've pieced your bikes together. The Crumpton, this R3; always nice to see any bike(s) in general that stand out from the rest.
