Santa came early.
Got to the LBS this afternoon and picked it up. TCR C.F. Frame- 105 mechs, brakes and brifters- Sram Rival Compact crankset and Mavic Aksiums. Still lots to set it up and change a few parts from the OCR like pedals and pump mounts etc but weighs in at 17.1 lbs. Gonna feel heavy after Boreas but 3 lbs lighter than the OCR3. Now all I have to do is pray for NO rain at the weekend.
I know it has some white in it but a bit of airbrushing in Photoshop and you won't know the difference. Has that natural carbon look to it and the frame is light. Gone for a 46.5 cm frame- just one larger than on the OCR and will let you know if it is right when I do get to ride it. Tonight and it is Clean the OCR3 and get it ready for its new owner. Pic of Boreas aswell to compare.

Hey that's 2 bikes now, great. I really think the color looks rich and elegant, nice going. I have to cool my heels for a while now, but I got a pretty good idea what my next one will be. OH! Merry Christmas.

Quite the impressive stable you are building there, Stapfam. I like the look of the new bike.

Don't listen to DG. That garage provides the perfect rustic counterpoint to your new rocket ship.
