I bought the original Onda carbon fork for it also Profile aero design bars or bontrager carbon flat bars. FSA crank 50/34 172.5mm, ultegra brakes. 10spd shimano cassette. just trying to figure on the shifters and wheels. I think the FSA crank might be to heavy but for now i guess.

Sounds great! How about the stem? That's super important on fit.

Trying. But also trying to be unique. I enjoy watching everyones bikes but I also like to be different. That's why I was thinking of flat bars or aero bars without the TT bars.
