Saddle seems to have some flex on the "wings" but still no butt-on experience with it...hopefully in a few weeks, weather permitting...

Salamat, amigo!

Perfection !
But don't forget to apply some helicopter tape to chainstay area behind chainrings....one incident of chainsuck could ruin perfection.

A beautifully simple uncluttered look. Love it, love the colour and the weight's sensational. Chapeau.

transparent protective tape, very useful to protect your frame

Good question -- they shift fine on the stand but will know for sure when they're put to the test on the road, including off-the-saddle hill climbs to test for flex.

Indeed -- very pleased with how the bar/stem integration turned out. Berk's integrated saddle/post is also tempting but the probability of a misfit is rather high given the number of variables.

Been experimenting their use in conjunction with different cables (KCNC Ti, Powercords, Campy steel). So far, I've only had issues with Powercords when used for the RD -- just couldn't get it to shift properly. Aican + Powercords for FD was fine. Installation is straightforward -- but probably because this was my 4th Aican install. Feel free to PM if you have further questions.

How do you rate the Aican cable housings? For quality and installation?
How does the fibulas perform with theses kcnc brakes?
