Not feeling those bars.

Of course the gatorskins will be swapped when the season really starts. There is so much debris on the road still I'm actually glad I had them on.
While I'm at it, anyone have any tire recommendations? I rode 23mm GP4000s last season and I really liked them, however I was thinking about some 24mm Specy turbo cottons or Vittoria Corsa somethings. I ride my Enve's training and racing so I'd like something to last at least 3k miles.

Challenge Criteriums are the best tires I've ever used. Pretty expensive but they're good enough to warrant me buying another set. Worlds apart from Conti tires.

Those Enve wheels are sick. What's the view on Mavic wheels? One of the blokes at work was saying that the hubs aren't really up to much.
Edit - missed the key 'aren't' bit out!

Mavic wheels are a bit meh. They work but they're not spectacular. The entry level ones won't be any better than your current wheels and if you're getting the more expensive ones then there are way better options out there.

I think half of the appeal of an Orange frame is the ugliness... But if you ditched the white bars and lowers for black (or painted them) it would clean up the look.

I struggled to find these forks with black lowers, so they would have to be painted. I've enquires about having the swingarm powder coated to match the front triangle. Then black bars maybe, I'm gonna see how the flats feel, im not convinced they are going to be very comfortable anyway.
Kinchy:
That orange is vile, but I'm not sure there is much you can do without spending shed loads of cash on it. Not keen on the flat bars, drop the stem and get some risers. All the white and pink is a little bit of an overload too.
