NICE!
That's the frame I was looking at a few months ago before I decided to go full titanium instead - but I still think it's one of the sexiest frames available. Enjoy!

Nice! It deserves better photos.
Well, I felt like a little kid on Christmas morning today. Was it too early to get up? Too early to ride without lights? Do I really have to eat before I get to play?
Eventually, I just thought I've got to go! And the bike didn't disappoint. In fact, I've had this smile on my face for the last few hours that I just can't get rid of.
The carbon tubes, ti lugs and chain stays delivered exactly what I was hoping for. The bike was responsive (certainly more so than my Axiom SL), but not in a twitchy or harsh way. As I am nursing a badly torn labrum in my left shoulder and have very little strength in that are, I was a little anxious about how it would handle with the stiffened front end (44m headtube)

Hit send before finishing:
Anyway...
The Di2 performed, well as flawlessly as Di2 performs. I've been a Campy guy for a long time so this was a big jump for me to move to Dura Ace, but after this morning's ride there are absolutely no regrets!
And then there are the wheels. I know that there are many LW lovers on WW as well as LW haters. Put me firmly in the lover category. The wheels just disappear under you, and while they may not be aero by today's standards, I thought they held speed remarkably well. This morning was pretty windy with consistent 20 mph winds and I wondered how they would handle in the cross winds. Sure I had to pay a bit more attention than I do on my Enve 3.4s (particularly when descending at speed), but I didn't find them to be the challenge that some have complained of.
As pictured, she weighs in at 15.06 pounds with cages and the Garmin mount.

Good morning! Super beautiful. I am in the process of building one myself. I was just wondering if I could ask you a question? Can you tell me length of your head tube top tube and your top tube angle? Just for aesthetic reasons.
