The box arrived last Wednesday. As of today, I still need to trim the fork and brake lines, connect brake lines to the drifters and bleed same, wrap the handlebars, and calibrate the derailleurs.
Build includes: Wheeltop EDS TX group; Magene PES powermeter crank; 105 11spd 11x34 cassette; KMC chain; old Look Keo pedals; mid-range carbon gravel wheels from LightCarbon/Pro-X; 30mm Vittoria Corsa Pro tube-type tires (until I decide on something wider), Baent TPU tubes, an Aspide saddle copy (don't know yet if it'll be comfortable); a carbon bottle cage; stock seat-post, handlebars & computer mount. First time using electronic shifting - still not sure if that's the direction I'll go long term (I have too many devices to charge as it is).
With the storage cover installed, no computer, tools, spares, water bottle, in a 56cm, weight comes at 8.1kg. Trimming the seat-post and adding bar tape should wash, so this is probably the correct long-term weight, with which I'm quite satisfied. I imagine a lighter group, crankset, and wheels could drop 0.5kg and still be reliable under my weight (85kg). I doubt I'll explore that, however, because that's a lot of money for less that the weight of a second water bottle.
Anyhow, it didn't happen. without pictures, eh:.
