Finally got around to taking some photos with a real camera.
Gotta try to get into that Bike Vault now that the build is done! Well, done for now anyway. Current weight is 5.3kg.
I've managed to get some more riding in lately now that the weather is nicer and riding bikes is about the only way I can get out of the apartment. I'm incredibly happy with how the build has turned out. Darimo is currently spending their time engineering and building ventilators (which makes me really happy to be riding around on their bar/stem/seatpost), so it'll be a while until I'm able to get that seatpost collar made. Other than that, maybe some bolt tuning, and maybe an eventual switch to powercordz, there's very little left to do here.
It's a sneaky thing to ride. It feels civilized. It's not harsh or overly twitchy. It feels stable, grounded, and generally well-behaved. Over poor roads it's downright comfortable. It doesn't feel like a show bike, which is good because I don't have room for a show bike. Obviously it feels fast, but on flat ground cruising along, it acts like a pretty normal bike. But get out of the saddle or point it uphill, and it becomes obvious really quickly that it's not a normal bike.
EDIT: Obsessively re-compiled my full build list. Weight makes sense. I must have weighed it the previous time without the Wahoo or something
