Very stealthy, indeed.

A few minor updates to the build.

I'm doing a lot more climbing now so I swapped the ENVE 4.5s for 2.2s and slammed the stem. I removed the garmin vector power meter pedals for speedplay and I have the new quarq dfour power meter on order. Image

Dream build but I'd have just split the difference and gotten some 3.4's...!

I looked at the 3.4s but I also wanted a tubeless wheel that was optimized for a 25mm tire. The 3.4 isn't tubeless ready and is optimized for a 23mm tire. I'm building a titanium bike next year. Hopefully ENVE will update the 3.4 disc wheel for tubeless and a wider rim.

Front rim of the 3.4 has the same width, int and ext, as the 2.2. Only rhe rear 3.4 s a little more narrow. I think the say 3.4 are optimised for 23mm , pure for aero reasons.
