My first road bike, an aluminum endurance bike with a mix of Shimano 105 and no-name components, served me well for 8 years but was limited in any off-road capabilities. After renting an U.P. to do a 5 day hut-to-hut ride through the Dolomites in Italy, I was hooked on both the frameset and the ability to go off paved paths without a full on mountain bike. Since then, money was put aside month after month until enough had been saved up to pull the trigger on this beautiful orange frame. The components were all spec'd and bought piecemeal and the bike was built in my garage over the course of a few lovely summer weeks.
