Amflow PL Carbon Pro Dream Build.

[Astro66]

So I've ordered an Amflow PL Carbon Pro. Arrival is about 6 weeks. I've ordered lots of parts to customise the bike. I'll run through the order list and post photos as parts turn up.

There are so many parts and upgrades that I'll just post them bit by bit.

First Upgrade is the wheels. I am going to mullet the bike and I want to run Alloy rims for compliance and less chance of damage. I do ride really technical rocky areas, so I am concerned about damage to the carbon rims.

I have some black alloy DT Swiss Rims in 29 and 27 at home. So step one will be to build the rear wheel in 27.5. I've ordered a pair of XD hubs in Oil Spill. I'll initially just build the rear wheel to see if I like the bike in it's mulleted configuration. I do build the wheels myself.

I have also bought gold spoke nipples to add to the wheels. The spokes will be black.

I also have ordered some Gold SRAM 203mm rotors. With black bolts of course.

The Alloy rims are Black so I have ordered some Gold DT Swiss Decals

There are going to be some graphic changes. But I am sticking with the Black and Gold configuration. So step 1 is to add some extra decals on possibly the seat stays and seat tube, then fully wrap the bike in invisiframe.

These parts have turned up and look pretty sweet. I've watched several wrapping videos, and have vinyl wrapped my boat myself. So I'm expecting perfection from myself .........

This is what you get from Invisiframe.

The cranks and pedals will have some cosmetic updates. Mostly just to protect the cranks.

I'll use Gold SPD clip in pedals. I have used this brand pedals before, and they have been very good.

I will also change the Chainring bolts to Gold.

I have also purchased Yellow, Boa style SPD Shoes.
