DARKSTAR 001 - V2.0

Designing and assembling custom bicycles is a fun side project for me in addition to building custom bicycle wheels. I get to learn new things and expand my skills. 

I now use a low-profile, undersizeRitchey Classic Handlebar and a Bontrager X-Lite  Stem.

Also new is the Fizik Microtex Tape, my all time favourite. 

The black skewers paired with the black frame and fork seem to disappear. 

The paint is custom by Circle A Cycles. 

Another new addition is this Thomson seatpost collar. 

I assembled a pair of ENVE 25s on Chris King R45 Hubs with DT Swiss Competition Spokes. 

2X, low spoke count wheels look great. 

I removed 5mm of spacers from under the stem. 

I am very fortunate to have such nice things. This is a great bicycle. 

Though I should add another water bottle cage.
