Have my first specialized built today, sharing some pictures. The weight is around 6.9kg, I will post more accurate weight once I have a proper scale.

Nice, was looking at your front brake, with the release tab wide open, yet the pads look close to the rim even then. Is that to accommodate the wide ENVE rims? Can you not adjust it properly with the release tab closed?

Also, do you mind if I borrow the picture of your rear derailleur and how it mounts for an explanation in another thread I was posting to. I have some reservations on the new 9100 rear derailleur and how, with that extension on it, it must create some added stress on existing road derailleur hangers.

If you find one in Europe please let me know! Seems like the disc version of this color is available (somewhere) as well... https://www.specialized.com/au/en-au/bi ... set/115123

@Calnago - the 9100 brake qr operates differently to the previous models. The qr is in the closed position in the photo above

I think the release tab in the pic is already closed. Shimano says that 9100 brake can work with 28mm rim(in fact the tubular 9100 wheels do have 28mm rim) and ENVE 4.5 front rim is only 27mm wide. I only rode it for a few kms but the brakes worked great.

Share the pictures as you wish, the 9100 rear derailleur is very much similar to a shimano MTB rear derailleur with Shadow Technology.

what type is that rear derrailleur?

I don't know if R9100 still have mid cage version, mine only has "RD-R9100" on it. According to Shimano (http://bike.shimano.com/content/sac-bike/en/home/components11/road/dura-ace-9100/rd-r9100.html):
Maximum Sprocket : 30T
Minimum Sprocket : 11T
Maximum Front Difference : 16T
Total Capacity : 35T

Looks phenomenal but the blue stripe on the handle bar clashes a bit with the frame IMO. Bring out the acetone!

Good advice! I was looking for the black version of this handlebar but they don't have it in stock, so I chose to compromise a bit on color...
