Finally sourced the final build parts
It took some doing but I have finally built the Meivici as I envisioned when this whole crazy idea was formulated in my head.
From the first image:
I now have Handlebra on the bars.
Swapped the Cages out to Arundel Mandibles
Finally found the original Fizik Aliante in Black.
Switched the ENVE SES4.5's to SES2.2.
If I could do it all over I never would have bought the C50 and I would of sent the Meivici to Bill McDonald to have it painted with the design I did on the C50. I would also use Black Cable housing instead of Gray.
Big Boy Blue looks good but I think it would look better with something more broken up like the C50 the solid color is just a solid color. The Meivici also had a lot of decals deleted I would have left; the "Custom SE Tubing" Decal on the Seattube, "S,s" on the seat stays and the fork identifier "F3 8.5". I would also like the Metal Headbadge vs the "S" Decal. I am sure none of this will ever happen because most of all I am lazy. The above wish list would take some sort of effort on my part.
The ride is sublime especially with the 27mm tubular tyres I never thought were going to fit.
