Really like the paint scheme as well. Can you post, if possible, some more photos were the blue is looking as it does IRL? When I saw the pics of the frame on Twitter it looked even more blue than in your photos...

Ill try to get more photos of my bike. The blue is really dark but it looks fantastic in the sun.

Didn't get along with my Foil, and I couldn't find a reasonably priced zero-setback post, so I sold the frameset and I'm back on the CAAD10. I much prefer the CAAD10's handling anyway.

Updated build list:

Campagnolo Chorus 11 group, 172.5mm cranks, Record 11 12-25 cassette
Pro Vibe 7s 44cm bars
3T Arx Pro -17 120mm, delabeled
Thomson Elite 27.2 Zero Setback
Specialized Toupe Pro 130mm
Look Keo Blade Carbon pedals
Planet-X Cnc brake calipers
Easton EC90SLX wheels, Challenge Criterium 22mm tanwall tubs
Pro Fiberglass cages, Fizik soft touch microtex tape.

15.18 lbs with K-edge garmin mount and garmin 500


To do list:
Ti skewers (-70g)
Carbon cages (-40g)
FSA K-wing compact bars 42cm (~60g)

Everything is on its way and I'm hoping to go below the magic 6.8 kg

Nice! Hopefully black cages.

How do you like the Chorus vs Red? I'm considering a similar move. Like Red fine, but it would be fun to try something different.

Yep, black carbon cages otw.

If I could change one part of the group, I would take the Record shifters. The shift lever is "sticky" on the Chorus since it runs on bushing vs bearings in the Record levers (correct me if i'm wrong).
Sprint shifting in the drops is different from Red, and I rather do miss Red's sprint shifting, but it's fine for what I do anyway.
