Any long term user review of the blade?

Rode it for 4200km now in this season, can't complain, still going strong and rides very well.
Did a 300km ride and multiple 200km tours, it's comfortable enough.

The only thing I dislike is that it's hard to ride free-handed, but again, I have no comparison to other roadbikes, only to my gravelbike (with vastly different geometry).

Thanks
It's a custom paintjob, paid them 200$ for the two-color finish.

Exact spec::
Fade from Black to Pantone 219C (Hot Pink) in glossy finish with white decals.
The support for the custom paintjob was great, let me decide where exactly the fade should happen and so on, very supportive.

Just finished building my roadbike with the Blade Frameset in XXL with the SSL Handlebars.

Build went rather smoothly for my first bike ever.
It's my first ever road bike (coming from a 12kg aluminum gravel bike), so not much to compare against.
Rides great, responsive, stiff, but still forgiving I guess.
Weight is 7,5kg with Garmin mount and Ultegra Pedals

Some Images attached

I ordered the Blade Frameset in size XXL last week. Can give yall an update once I get it (so in roughly 4 weeks i hope).

Edit: Just received pictures of the finished paintset, looks gorgeous. Will update when I have the frame in my hands

Contacted the seller, size 61 not available yet with no expected release-date.
Unfortunately have to keep looking for a similar frame
