Dope! I think you should consider removing the rim decals though. -

I think Open Pro CD to Ultegra, good for epic/gravel rides and I'll put them on my Cross-Check once I save up for some Mavic SLRs. -

Not to mention the owner Brandon is a hell of a guy. Detail-oriented with great customer service. -

3T Arx Team Black stem. Look Head Fit headset and neat cable guides. Mavic WinTech Alti computer.

Very nice bike!Posted By: chkuI removed the decals with acetone
I didn't know it was that easy to remove tags.
You just rub over the paint with acetone and the black finish will remain intact? -

Hubs are 6700, wheels were from Velo Mine. My plan was to save up for some lighter or deeper Mavic SSCs and then use these wheels on my Cross-Check. Seeing as though the bike still only weights 7.5kg and I'm not (yet) a weight weenie, I might do some Dura-Ace to Open Pros with CX-Ray spokes instead.
Also, can I just say I am over noisy freehubs...Posted By: Gloomyrub over the paint with acetone
Yep. When I say acetone, I just mean nail polish remover. I started with a regular soft cloth. That was a little slow so I got a Scotch Brite, then tidied up using the cloth. The black anodizing is unaffected. -

Just do DT Revolutions, bladed spokes are overkill/look weird on an open pro.. and DT Revolution are super close in weight.
The new Dura Ace hubs are pretty sick, and really light! WAYYY lighter than 6700 hubs.. tiny bearings though, so make sure to check em regularly and keep them happy :) -

I did a couple of shakedown rides today and I definitely need to change to some more familiar classic drop bars. The 3T Rotundo should do. When I swap them out I also need to re-do the brake cables because they are run the Australian way (left-rear/right-front) which is super annoying.
Parker, I do want some DA hubs and I'm very sorry for small ring, never again :/ -
