My vote is keep the black CK SV headset.
And get a black seatpost clamp, Campagnolo asymmetric preferred if it fits.
Red, pewter (fades really badly, starts to look lavenderish) or even ti will look cheesy on such an elegant bicycle.
Matching the hubs to the headset would be cheesy too.
I have no idea why I'm thinking about cheese so much...I'm neither a mouse nor hungry, but...cheesy it would look, imo.



The red hubs are fine, spinning, and just that small touch of red/pop, like in a Corot painting.

I see your point. The black and red scheme usually doesn't go well. But then I thought maybe it would be different in a safe way, not over done.

the want is strong with this one. That there is beautiful. Looks my size too. If you ever decide to sell it. Let me know.

The center section of the hubs are naked carbon so it would be like a naked carbon head tube with a red head set.

This is the most recent picture of the tetra-pro. I'm pretty sure it wasn't supposed to have fenders but they're working thanks to the front dropout mounting brackets I made and zip ties everywhere else.

My recent upgrade from C59 to C60.

thanks! The frame is quite old, but I still much prefer it to the look of the newer Canyons.

Here's my Trek Domane in it's current guise.. got this in 2016 and had put some old wheels on it, I got the Ksyriums for it last summer when the old wheels died. Kind of an odd custom build. It's got Zipp bars, Arione VS saddle, 10-speed Ultegra w/Stages PM.

I made some big improvements to fit and was able to change the stem out and go to quite a bit more drop and reach this spring. I got this bike outside yesterday (April 1st) for the first time in 2018 and it was pretty amazing after 400+ miles in March on my 25lb+ All City Space Horse. So fast/smooth/light/responsive, blah, blah, blah. Of course now it's snowing today so this is probably going to go back inside for a little while and it's back to the donkey.

I think you're right. I had a 2012 version of the Ultimate CF SLX and a current version. I much preferred the older geometry. It just handled better, was more stable, just better overall. I think it was because the 2012 had less of a sloping top tube and slightly more weight.

So a few weeks ago I finally completed this build of a lovely frame I bought here. Not having bought a bike in over 10 years, and never owning a carbon bike, I thought maybe it was time to pick one up. Having lusted after Cyfacs and Sartos, but never having an affordable one come up in my size, Liberace posted this Merlin Empire (Sarto built) here at a great price. It was practically new, and very carefully packed, so thanks again to a great seller. So far, it is a blast to ride - comfortable yet responsive. Not trying for a weight weenie build (Chorus 11, Zondas, Zipp SC SL bits), but came to almost exactly 16 lbs. for a 57 cm. frame, which is not bad. All the black and grey is a bit dour, but I can live with that!

Carbon? Straight from Battenkill. Who says carbon is delicate?
