pretty cool building! How do you feel about the handlebar, I think the reach of it is too large
The reach is long-ish but I run a 110mm stem; I like them they're comfortable and light enough. I didn't have a chance to ride the bike outside yet, but I think they will flex a bit.

I had my fit yesterday and I'm happy with the position. I've a temporary Power saddle as they didn't stock the S-Works and I will cut the steerer flush with the top of the stem as soon as I get the chance. It's not slammed but I'm working on the flexibility of my hamstrings.

For those interested, this is a R8000 11-32 cassette with a R8050 dis SS derailleur; it works perfectly fine despite the 30T recommended 'limit'.

Looking nice! What's the final weight coming in at?

Finished the build a while ago but I'm selling the bike as I bought a new do-it-all bike.

Final weight was 7kg with the water cages.

Great looking Focus, congrats! How are you finding it?

A few questions if you don't mind:

Is it a 54 like the Caad? What is your saddle height?

How much does it weigh with the etap and LB wheels?

How much clearance is left with the 28mm GP5000s on 23mm internal rims, enough to run the same tyre on the wider LB rims like WR50 or is it quite tight already?

Thanks!

I love it! It's the first bike I absolutely fell in love with from the very first ride. I like the minimalist look without 100 logos and the cables are fully integrated. It's quite compliant and comfortable, but the position is agressive. It's a 54cm and I obtained the same stack & reach as my CAAD (about 74.5mm BB to saddle).

I have not weighted yet but it's a not a WW. Focus listed it at 7.4kg without pedals. The AR56 with 240S are light-ish, but it's not a light bike.

There's plenty of clearance to be honest...you can probably run 32mm tires with no issue. The 28mm are stretching to 30mm and there is still plenty of splace.

That's great to hear, thanks! I'm thinking about upgrading my 2016 izalco disc but my saddle height is 76.5 which is going to result in an even more aggressive position on a 54

Can you please tell us what bottom bracket you use and IF you use any spacers to fit this crankset?

I used the Rotor BB30A and I don't remember using spacers, just the wave washer.

Hey Guys,
I'm building a CAAD12 Disc with Ultegra Di2 (R8050/8070) and now I'm front of a doubt.
How did you route the Di2 cables around BB?
There is any cable guide?
My biggest concern is spindle cut of the cables (mainly the battery and FD cables).
If you have pics, please share.
