My aim was to have universal, fast, comfortable and possibly light bike. Specialized Sequoia seemed to be fine but Expert version is too expensive for me and Elite version way too heavy (12.47 kg for size 58), even for a steel frame bike. So I decided to build my own version based on Pro Module. This bike is Ultegra 8000/6800 equipped and weigts 9,97 kg. It cost me only 1130 pln (335 $) more than 2.5 kg heavier (mostly in wheels) Elite model.

Well noticed. Indeed, I changed 100mm stem to 80mm. Sti's and handlebar position is still to be finally adjusted. Anyway, thanks for your comments. Work in progress.

CG-R isn’t for everyone but it suits a purpose. Bars could be rotated down a bit but shifters look to be pretty level. Low is pro but you and I are not.

Feels like my bmx in the eighties. The difference is that I ride around the country.
