It's good to see aero's instead of the usual 7x or speedlines

Like a classic 80's rock band, it's a Survivor!  Looks damn fine

Thanks for the kind words chaps.

It originally came from a lady who apparently used the race the bike in and around the Leeds area bitd. It’s pretty much as I found it, however I swapped out the CW bars which I’m not a fan of for Hutch Pro, the Elina UL / post combo for the conventional saddle and post and respoked the wheels as they were shot.

Being a survivor bike it’s often hard to know when to stop swapping and changing parts. I have another set of gen 3 profiles spare I was considering fitting either with the spider or stick with the disc. Just not sure if it would be one change too far. Any thoughts gents?

Difficult one that.  But I would now build it how you want it. It's still survivor parts.

That's a difficult one indeed! It's a cracking bike as it is, and I love to see high end bikes running a opc, so if it were mine, I'd leave it as is. But then it's not mine, sadly!

Great Survivor though
