Yaxi’s road bike

This is the matched pair for Bo’s road bike, but suited for Yaxi’s smaller stature with the adjusted fit and tubing selection. Keeping things up-to-date, the bike uses Enve‘s In-Route system with a Chris King Aeroset headset to run the brake hoses internally. This setup requires an oversize headtube – to reduce the weight a little here a carbon insert was added. The frame has a custom taper ovalised toptube, round downtube and custom shaped seatstays.

The parts specification is focused on keeping the weight low. Partington provided the wheels with their low-profile option, Darimo the carbon seatpost, Specialized the carbon/3D printed saddle. The groupset is primarily Shimano Dura-ace, with an FSA Team Issue crank to save a little weight there.

The paint color was inspired from a Porsche model, and applied by Colorworks. The final weight as shown is 15.3lbs.
