Here it is. Bike finished (?)- 13-28 7 sp Sunrace freewheel shifted with Sora ST 3300 brifters, 105 FD1056 . 42/52 Biopace SG chain rings. Cannondale 25.4mm carbon seatpost with Fizik Aliante seat. Easton 26.0mm carbon drop bar on an Origin8 stem.


Too bad the pink Selle Italia Smootape doesn’t quite match the magenta color. Anyone has magenta bar tape that is a good match with the frame?
Congratulations on your build.
Perhaps bar wrap in yellow would be easier to match.
Also, I think the yellow bar tape would give (in the words of R.T.) better aesthetics Balance.
