The 126 is the exact SL8 geometry. Finding the SL8 too slack makes you an outlier among the outliers, especially now that tour riders are increasingly finding they go faster with spacers under their bars.

With the number of pros sitting on the nose of their saddles, they could use more progressive geometries too.

Bikes are so much fun to build up. Even if I have no reason to build another one.

I'm gonna become that old grumpy man who yells at all the kids in the neighborhood, but also secretly enjoys building and fixing their bikes in my garage. My dad was a welder by trade. And spent weekends tinkering with his Oldsmobile in the garage on weekends.

Sorry this has nothing really to do with the topic. I seen the recent frame photos and thought I wanna build one up just so I can stare at it finished. Carry on...

Comparing the carbon layout of this frame to the carbon layout for the new Berria Naii there's something more than a resemblance:
MONDINCE:


BERRIA:

Vasegaard

Jack said that they do OEM service for some of the Berria frames.

Hopefully with the notable exception of brands like Cervelo and what not, that hopefully are more involved in the layup process than random western brands.

This week's Nero Show regarding the latest Cervelo S5 is pure COMEDY

What it is? Holes for some kind of TT extension as in SPcycle handlebar? Would be perfect.

Presumably for an out-front computer/light/camera mount

On to of the handlebar? No way.

They are also on the geometry chart. I ask via WhatsApp.

For once an integrated bar I actually like, on a frame I also kind of like.

But the whole crowd funding model, meh. Curious to see which way they're taking this when they realize they won't reach the "campaign goal" ...

Eh, canyon did it better, should've just copied that

Official answer: "Yes, for bar extension. But we may cancel that hole."
