Nearly there just waiting on handlebars from LBS as the 42 fizik bars were too wide for me. Have black lizard skin bar tape and some nice matt black elite bottle cages to put on. Debating using red fizik bartape. Was looking for a black fizik saddle with red strip but I got a good price on this so chanced it. Think it works.

Full size pics here.

Planet X actually sell a black bar tape with red stitching which would be much more in keeping with the thin red livery on the bike. Keep your eyes peeled for the original saddle you wanted, it would finish it off better in my opinion.

I agree. Red Fizik bartape would look the business.
The Sram Force is lovely. I have it one one of my bikes and Sram Red on another.
The difference in price, in my opinion, cannot be justified.

Big fan of Sram it's a big jump in price to Sram red alright hard to justify it. Originally was getting the force 22 just to get a power2max power meter but the budget for that got blown on the bike.

I am tempted to get the red tape and I know they say bars and saddle should match but I do sort of feel like Raam does about it. I wanted to get tacky tape like the black lizard skin tape.

Red bar tape is like wearing lipstick.

Hadn't seen that might get it to try it.
Fizik used to do a tape like it but I can't find it any where

Doubt I'll be replacing the saddle I got it cheapish and it would cost €150+ to get the one I wanted. I actually quite like the red saddle. Our club gear is black with red and I mostly wear these as well

Bit of digging turns up this site, know nothing of it but that's what you're looking for if your pic above is a guide...

^^^Paintjob and tubing I like but the geometry is a bit weird..Looks like a sportif bike disguised as a sprinter bike.

Guys, we've had a couple of recent examples of posters inviting interest in stuff they may be prepared to sell in this thread. Future examples will be carded - we have a separate sub-forum for that and advertising is not permitted in the main forum

Thanks
