Frame quality is not very good, with an inward bend on the drive-side dropout - fortunately aligning the derailleur hanger compensates for this. Most of the components are carried over from my Pro-Lite Cuneo. Looking for a UD seatpost that I can strip to match.

Somebody needs to give you an honest opinion. Unlike all the previous posters, I calls 'em like I sees 'em: Your bike looks jacked up, dog!
Did you scar it up like that to reduce the weight by 40 grams?

Roger that, Cap.
I'm just wondering if the scarring was the best candidate for weight-saving?
I mean he probably could have lost 100 grams by removing all that rust from the sprockets!

That's not rust but a KCNC scandium cassette.

Have anything noteworthy to add? How much harsher is the Cuneo?

I've been riding the Cuneo again with a new fork, and longer steering tube, that ultimately helped with fit. The harshness is reduced with a 44cm x 26mm carbon handlebar. This frame (FM-102) still seemed more responsive to acceleration and is lighter of course.
