That looks amazing!

I hate narrow bars and typically mount something modern in the 46cm range on my riders. Nitto noodles typically.

I feel that it was very common for companies to modify spec's throughout the season - that can include components, but might include finish/paint and potentially tubes/frame designs. I'd view the catalogue as the product managers ideal concept for the bike based on his/her perception on...

Non drive side tends to be easier to remove, so I remove it first. Is the cup bonded on the drive side of the bb?

Damn, another victim of the UCI rules

Wouldn't surprise me if it has that beautiful pearl white paint under the black rattle can. If rattle canned i would definitely try a gentle stripping agent to see if there was a rescueable OE paint job under neath.
