Augusto’s aero road disc special

This was a fun build! Augusto started out requesting an aero road build, but with disc brakes since he lives in the mountains. Then with a bit more pondering, he decided he wanted a more unique look, so asked if I could add twin toptubes/seatstays to the design. This worked out nicely as also giving a clean way to route the rear hydraulic hose and Di2 wires to the back of the bike.

The frame has a custom butted, ovalised integrated seatmast, a Columbus aero downtube, and Deda s-bend chainstays. The custom fork has airfoil section blades, with a post-mount for the disc caliper and internal routing through the steerer. The matching custom stem includes a boss for the Di2 control box.

For parts we have Dura-ace Di2 for the shifting, with an FSA K-Force light crankset. Shimano R785 shifters operate the XTR brake calipers on 140mm rotors, which are mounted on Reynolds Attack wheels, shod with Schwalbe 25C tubeless tires.

The fantastic two-tone paint was applied by Colorworks, and includes Augusto’s own logo on the seatmast. Total weight as shown is 18lbs.
