History:
The frame was purchased NOS from eBay during COVID as a project to stop me going nuts with boredom, originally built with a used 105 R5800 groupset, a generic aluminium finishing kit, cheap wheels, and an unbranded steel fork. 10 minutes into its maiden voyage, I fell in love with the feel, and at the same time, I realised I'd made a huge mistake, I'd not done the frame justice, so over time, I collected what I thought would be the right components, some new, some used that would make it the best it could be (in my opinion), and finally last month (April 2026) I felt I had taken it as far and as modern as I could without going electronic (which I didnt want to do), and made the finishing touch by painting the fork, stem, and seatpost to match. I have a carbon electronic, hydraulic, aero, light….etc. road bike and I love it. But no bike I've ever owned or built makes me smile as much (or turns as many heads) as my Smoothie.

Something about rim brake bikes with white bar tape does it for me, but I don’t know what.
Nice Bike! How do you like the ee Brakes?
