It looks like Calfee did what they do... amazing carbon work! I'm relieved for you that your bike is good to go. I saw a handmade carbon tandem by Calfee once and it was incredible. Hand wrapped tube to tube construction in carbon I wish I would have taken a picture of it.

You should send me your Boras so I can test them out on my F8 LOL! They look amazing on your ride.

Rodebaron, We need larger pics to fully appreciate your new ride... It looks great but very small.

I'm looking into getting another set of wheels, I've narrowed it down to ENVE 6.7 with Chris King hubs or Campagnolo Bora Ultra Two in Dark Label.

Painfull to see a sister bike like this....

I will post some better pics next week of mine.

Yesterday had my 1st ride... 70km... of which 60km full relative strong headwind. Behhh

Anyway, my first impressions:
Most of all feels very controllable.... bike does exact what you want it to do.
Feels efficient... stiff but not uncomfortable at all. All power converts into speed. Standing on the pedals gives you this feeling in an extreme way. Like!
Cornering is top.
My feel is that F8 vs C59 indeed gives an aero effect (as I had strong headwind)... but this could be placebo as well....
Breaking with the new Ultra 35 is wow.... much much more breaking power vs my old hyperion ultra 2.... the breaking surface really improved a factor 2!
Wheels in general are great too... not too hard and they sound fast (Schwalbe one pumped to 8.5 bar). I need to get used to them with x wind, but no big issue.

Pleased with the bike and setup...

No need to get used to EPS. Fantastic, fast and precise.... or... I must admit it seems i play a bit with the leavers while I ride... with mechanical no issue, but I had a couple of unwanted gear switches this ride... my fault... don't play around ;-)

Great mini review... the sensitive buttons sound like fun. The probably make for quick shifting.

Some more info after the first 1000 KM.

Bike feels and handles great.
Fit is superb and looks a bit more in shape than my C59 62cm.
EPS; fully used to and like it a lot. quick and precise shifting. wouldn't go back to mech (althroug I have my c59 with normal SR still in Germany for after work rides).

Only thing on the frame; the paint (or the protective layer) is not as robust as on the Colnago. Thats a pity as you can see minor scratches.... not world moving, but if you look careful to your baby you see them.

Wheels; perfect in the dry. Hard but still confi, aero, looks.... ;-)
In the wet I still hate the breaking (is there any breaking???)... I use the standard red campa pads... pffff nightmare.
Also the Schwalbe One's are not too grippy in the wet so it feels... Anybody?
So far not a lot of punctures on the One's. Only yesterday 1 before the ride and 2 during the ride... grrrr

@rodebaron51. Are those Bora Ultra 35 wheels the clincher or tubular version?
It's all downhill from here, except for the uphills.

The F8 has just the right amount of curves, and that repair looks excellent, they did a good job

Hi Fogman, clinchers...
But they are tubeless ready (a clincher without inner tube)... so I might try them out later
