couple of pictures attached, apologies for the jaunty angles!
is where the headtube and fork crown join together totally seamless? that gap looks almost like factory tolerances to me

yes the same as the factory fork - did a 100km fast ride yesterday and i could not tell the difference between factory and deda fork. only reason for the change is aesthetics of hidden cables.

Fantastic build! Where do you get the titanium parts for the Force?

Really nice looking bike, which handily reminded me I can repaint and use decals to customise the Crux I hope to get [but a paintjob I'm not mad on]. May do it same as I did to my old steel Stumpjumper in the 90s, as that would work very well on this bike too. Just need to find the artwork I used 30 years ago.🤔 Who did your paint work?
Ended up watching a few more of your videos as a result and disappearing down a few rabbit holes looking at stuff I can't afford. 😁 But I am tempted by some LightBicycle AR25 wheels. Surprised you don't have the newer and lighter version of the Crux.

Internal cable routing on Aethos is really nice. The "simplicity and easy to maintain" is not a topic for me, because how often you need to replace headset bearings? Rarely.
Hidden cables are also a big plus if you bikepack. Cables seriously get in way of most bar bags. A big reason wireless appeals to me. Though I'm not a fan of cables in general, not just on bike. They are messy and clunky.
