It's actually quite comfy. Due to its Swiss cheese like nature, it flexes and conforms to my bum!
It's not carbon light, but I'm a little dubious of a solid carbon saddle.. Given saddles are so subjective and I like this one, it shall remain the only non-carbon item on the bike. :p

Your attention to detail and beautiful-bike-building lend me to think that you have a great design/artistic mind.

Rear tyre yes intentionally…………..front tyre oops……good spotting thanks :D now gives me an excuse to fix the front rim strip up which was the first experimental one out of 4.

Mind you grip was NOT a problem out on the trails today. Managed to ride up some seriously steep creek banks & loose gravel climbs with ease.

i thought the rear may have been as it often aids in grip, but wasn't sure if both were done in error as the front is usually designed that way to aid in braking!

great, the current S900 lever is basically a gutted 2012/2013 Sram Red lever. same UD carbon brake lever blade, same hoods, etc.

I know these two aren't expensive, fast or light, but they're mine and still going strong. Well the hard rock is pretty much new despite being four years old.

According to STRAVA; Hardrock - 650klm, Roubaix - 4500klm

Go the single! How do you find the 42t? Do you ever feel like you've run out of gears?

with the 11-28 cassette the range is almost identical to a 50/34 with a 11-23 cassette... i'm no speed racer though! i just love the simplicity of it.

Don't beat yourself up, I've got original receipt from original owner of my new/unused shop clearance 2008 Roubaix S-Works Quikstep that was $8500 if you want a copy to go with your photo for insurance replacement value ;)
I'd have to use some stock photos though, as it now looks like this:

Not been here for a while, this is the latest active ride though... not sure if it can be riding if there's no sitting though?

Heres my most recent purchase, sold my Scott Foil and now i'm on this, loving it so far. Only thing i wouldn't mind doing is chucking on a F9R front and Fast Forward Disc on the rear to finish it off.
first thing i did was ditch the 3T ski bends and got some nice Gamma extensions from TriRig, loving them so much more.

Need to get back into a roadie though soonish, something 90's oldschool, don't need anything fancy. hopefully will get on something soon.

All white/black/carbon versions so far have impressed me, have you been into R/C? The purple anodized accents were the standard for "hop-ups" parts.

Just a quick revisit to my custom Ti Burls RB

Here is my new 2nd custom Ti Burls Audax RB - complete with Brooks C17 Cambium saddle, SKS P35 mudguards, Kinesis DC07 winter fork, Tomson Seat post and 6700 group set with Shimano R650 long drop brakes
note 3rd bidon holder on bottom of down tube
The 1st bike is my summer bike and the newest addition to my fleet is my long haul (brevets over 400km) and winter bike. (I won't always be living in Perth!)
