They are indeed. Velocity V Deep. Good spot my man.

All built up and been for a spin around the block a few times. Some fine adjustments needed but...such Joy.

Nor me. They are the ones I had in the shed. They will be upgraded.

Finally took the plunge and ordered my Kinesis Grand Fondo Ti Disc frame the weekend, due in next weekend.

Kysrium Pro wheels with 160mm Dura Ace rotors front and rear and a 11sp Ultegra groupset I think?

And yes, they're ugly as sin.

ETA: I may have misunderstood @jowwy. Mine are Kinesis. I thought that's what @ianrauk's new ride have. I could be wrong.

Could have splashed out on some new bar tape too

Changed just for you - x

Picked up my new Kinesis GF disc frame the weekend and what a beauty it is too. However, my delight was very short lived as on closer inspection once I got home (130 mile round trip) I noticed that one of the bottle bosses on the down tube has only been half welded FFS!! Quality Inspection.....ha!

Just waiting for the LBS and Kinesis to respond with the next course of action now

Bugger.

The lower one of the two!

The bad news, no more Kinesis GF Ti disc frames of my size in stock in the UK until at least June.

I now have one of three options:

1) Send my frame back have it welded and repolished, turnaround time 3 weeks.

or

2) Wait till June and have the option of either having a Q/R frame or there new "thru axle" version as a replacement?

or

3) Tell them to shove it and have a refund and look elsewhere?

Bearing in mind options 1 and 2 will involve a 2 x 130 mile round trips

ask the company to arrange courier to collect and deliver. After all, it's their problem to fix.

Here looks like a good place to ask... if you had £1k to throw at a titanium frameset that you'd want to enjoy on a Sunday morning and smash a Tuesday night crit on as well, what would you do? I've got a sram red groupset waiting to go on something nice. Wheels will be upgraded later...
