Well, it's been a few years... Domane is now gone as of a couple of weeks ago to help fund this project. I know the saddle will send some into a tizzy but here are the specs:
Custom Speedvagen, made to order, fitted to me. Steel all around but with a carbon seat tube, Envy forks, Envy seat mast topper. Pro Stealth bars painted to match. Dura Ace 9150 DI2 kit, Infinity Saddle, Easton SL90 wheels with White Industry hubs, tubeless Schwalbe tires. I have some new carbon wheels that will be going on once I receive the tires (also tubeless).
I haven't even taken it on the maiden voyage yet, but around the block it feels so different from the carbon Domane, weirdly smooth considering what my memories of steel are...
Seat stays are bent to order based on rider weight and size
With my headlight

This thing is the Bees Knees. I wouldn't change a thing.

Maybe it was my computer. Showing on one of the posts now! I love the Moots bikes and I bet they ride like a dream. I also like the look of the brushed and satin titanium. For me, when I was once looking at them, I just would have done a splash of color to break up the finish a bit. Lovely bike

What???
You are meant to say, "looks like a POS brushed aluminium Giant from the 90's".
your saddle is too high and your bars too low.
Cranks, valve stems are placed incorrectly and you have bell on your handlebars.
What kind of amateur are you???
But thanks.
I love her, she is amazing.

Bummer! What about the paint do you not like? I was torn between a few schemes but felt this looked racy and not over the top and would also stand the test of time fashion wise. In person it’s stunning and lustrous. I’ve not even done a mile on it yet shakedown is tomorrow about 40 miles, but it feels so nice in that brief moment in the saddle

What’s up with the red fork and red saddle? Looks like you pieced together spare parts laying around the shop. The extra frame looks like yet another spare part laying around.

The speedvagon is hot for sure. I personally would have picked the top color a darker blue. I am just not sure about the azzcheek hole saddle.

See too many non-racers toodling from the carpark to the coffee shop on Giants with Deep Dish wheels (or even better the guy I saw babying his bike down a very steep descent in 46C temperatures after melting his wheels).

Just waiting for the tires, any day now.
