My First Build

Hello,

I finally completed my first build. I know it's not exactly C&V but it's not all new either and I think I'd rather post it here because it's where I spend most of my browsing time.

The main components are...

Frame: Cilo Pro with Columbus Nebra (cyclex gen.) Tubing
Fork: Kinesis CF with Alloy Crown, steerer, and drop outs
FD, RD, Cranks: Shimano 600 Tri Colour
Brake Calipers: Shimano 600 Tri Colour dual pivots
Bars and Stem: Easton EA 70
Brifters: Shimano Ultegra 6500 9 speed
Wheels and Hubs: Bontrager XL
Seatpost: Lemond Alloy 27.2
Headset: FSA Orbit UG w needle bearings on the bottom

A bit of a mix of components which I'm sure will change over time, but here it is...





I was originally going to go with a different colour scheme and have yellow cable housing but decided that may be a bit too much. I'm not wild about the bar tape either but it will do for now and I will probably eventually change it to a yellow that matches the frame's decals.

Thanks to all those who have helped and given advise along the way,

Cheers!
