Thank you for the answer, that looks good.
By curiosity, I checked https://www.igpsport.com/igs630-highlights

40g less than the Karoo !! 
35h(wow!) battery life for a bright enough screen.
And a great price.

More questions...
Doesn't seem to have Komoot integration. Right ?
Did you try it off-road, how's the quality of available tracks ? Karoo has them all in general.

I will sit tight, awaiting for the Karoo 3 specs, and see if I stay loyal or jump on the dark side of the bike computers 

I just came across the Spcycle SP-M038 which claims to be 780g!...

Nice find, and good price!

I’m really sorry to hear about your situation.
We all saw it on the news. :’(
Doesn’t the state plans to offer any insurance to help recover some of your losses?

Sorry to read they are dropping you.
I hate this disrespect. I was looking to buy another integrated bar for my next build.
I'll look elsewhere, and for all mounts, bottle cages,... I buy regularly from them too

As a contrast, a friend's handlebar cracked this week in a very odd place.
I contacted Wing at Carbonda with pictures.
Even if it was kind of out of the 2y-warranty. Replaced without any question !
Ok, I'm a regular buyer, as I centralise the buying for  many builds, but what a difference.

It is all on the seller.
Aliex is just ok if something arrives broken.
So I would never advise someone to buy a frame or wheels there, and look for reputable seller you can contact directly.

I have been struggling with this a bit, I like being able to move around but it has made it difficult to find a 'default' position.

That is why I stick to a bare carbon saddle.
The pedalling/moving friction occurs between the bib and the saddle, not between the bib and the skin, so no chafing anymore on long rides.

But jonathanf2 seems to say they aren't that sticky, so I could try them.
Only if I could find a 130mm one.

...About bibs, they are heavier than well known brands and thus warmer...
So you have what you pay for, don't expect a miracle 

I had this hot plastic bag impression with a spexcel bib I tried.

Not these Darevie: https://a.aliexpress.com/_ExJuwDh
I did rides in very hot weather and they are just fine.
And at $36, I can't find anything better.

Anecdotally I moved out from black bibs and don't look back 
You just to have to be more careful at your nature breaks

First you have to be sure the noise is coming from the BB.
As a creak can come from many places and resonate through the frame like a drum: pedals, screws of the ring(s) or the rear hanger not properly tightened, seatpost, stem/bar, loose wheel axles, cassette, rear hub bearings or free wheel parts,...

Ideally check out all this on a home trainer with someone else listening where the noise originate. And try to replace the easy part you think could creak, eg: pedals, rear wheel

Then, or if you are certain it is the BB.
Check the smoothness of the non drive side bearings, it is the one that generally dies first with gxp.
If not smooth, replace bearings. Either with a good brand SKF, NTM,... that will last a little longer, or buy them by the dozen on aliexpress and consider it as a disposable part.

The  wavy washer is there to take any slack and preload the non drive side bearings that takes all lateral load.

I have an XT groupset and a SID select waiting for a frame. Will the XT 4pot caliper brakes fit into this frame?

From a picture there, I would say yes...

Ask Carbonda.
