Some updates to my Sabbath Silk Road- ultegra 6750 compact chainset, ultegra cassette, Planet X titanium skewers in blue, new Garmin cadence/speed sensors and some sks guards for autumn/spring runs.

Will be getting some ti bottle cages once I flog a couple of bits on fleabay.

Real nice.
Would have preferred a silver chain to match the Ti, but real nice never the less.

Watch out for those Ti bottle cages. Had both same the same and both broke

Homage to the welsh - goldy looking chain

re bottlecages. I've got the same ti cages, installed October 2013 and still going strong, with two "yebbuts":
1. I do not do nearly the mileage @ianrauk does, so the Internet abbreviation "YMMV" is probably very true in this case!
2. the screws the secure the mounting plates tend to unscrew themselves - I've found it's usually the bottom one. Suggest you check that regularly. I understand Locktite or PTFE tape will sort that out but I haven't done it yet.

Great looking build, happy with how it rides?

 

[Shadow]

No doubt...cool.
Nice one, Jowwy.
(was also going to make same comment as Ian re chain, but won't bother now!)
