Love the entire bike, but especially love what you did with the Cosmics. I'm assuming they were blue anodized originally? Can you provide some insight into what you did? Did you do this all without rebuilding the wheel? Stickers replacement via ebay? I just grabbed a set of Cosmics and was thinking of going neo-retro with them too (new style Mavic logo + new cosmic text).

Thanks! Yes they were originally blue. I used oven cleaner to remove the anodizing and then polished them up. And new decals via ebay. I did not re-lace them, but def would if I were to do it again. Took much longer than anticipated, very tedious task and would have been easier to with the wheel de-laced.

Holy mother of god that is a really nice bike! Did you have any structural problems regarding drilling holes?
Cheers!

thanks! Only real concern was drilling the steer tube. Wound up forks are reinforced with an aluminum sleeve so I think it will be ok. Ive been riding this bike hard and there have been no issues

Love the level of deep custom you went on this! The result is unbelievably clean. Chapeau.

Wow! Why not used the DA Di2 STIs? Would imo look even better and be more functional as well. How about the stages track 7710 DA nds crank arm and the normal DA 7700 ds crank arm? Which BB did you use 7710/ 7700/ ... ?

Always liked these TRP levers and wanted to keep with the polished/retro vibe as much as possible. Plus I just wanted to try something different. 7700 BB which works great

Ah I see, it is indeed an all in all matchy match, very nice bike :) Thanks for the reply! Any differences in q-factor, I think the track DA crank arm is thicker, my ocd about side to side "mismatch" prevented me doing this on one of my bikes

thank you! Q factor seems to be about the same but I am really not sure

This thing is insane. Would love to know more about the chainrings. Also, what the hell Garmin mount is that? It’s beautiful.
