I had that frame, I really liked it. Never photographs even close to how it looks in person. Good job.
It's a SL2, and u drilled the frame?

Nice, real badass!
You just need to remove the safety stickers from your LWs.

The jockey wheels look great imho and the spring loading is less than the normal jockey wheels which is one of the ways I think they reduce friction with them.
I've not had any issues with them but I can honestly say that they are value for money, curiosity just got the best of me.
I like them but most of my positive thoughts are probably placebo trying to convince me I have made a wise purchase
Are you perpetually cranky valbrona?
And when was the last time you posted one of your bikes for public scrutiny?

Lovely looking bike buddy, I'm keen to know more about the jockey wheels. Forgive my ignorance but what are the main advantages? They look huge! But damn bling!

Ceramic Speed created this jockey wheel set which contains a complete rear derailleur pulley and cage assembly with 17th Jockey wheels that the company says will save you up to 3W (based on a 250W output). The claim is that because the larger pulleys force the chain to bend less (and more slowly) per link for the same given rider speed, the pulleys themselves spin slower, and there’s less tension in the lower span of the chain.
In their marketing blurb Ceramic Speed also forget to mention that the spring for the derailleur is not loaded as much as the standard item which greatly contributes to the lower tension in the chain imho.
From a experience perspective I do not notice much difference, the drive train seems to be a little smoother but im not convinced that this is not placebo, the chain also feels a little loose to be but does not drop. The shifting is perfectly fine although they are a little more tempremental on setup. I like them though I think they are really interesting
Thanks for the write-up , in terms of the colour way though they look mighty bling!
