9100 group. While I definitely think Campy would look great on here, I also strongly prefer the function of Shimano (and its on my other bikes)

They used to call that their 'Hot rod' internally at IF
It was inspired by US muscle cars - all big tubes and loud paint
They build up lovely
Not light; but thats not the point of them. A tremendous N+1 bike. Chapeau...
Put 9100 and C60 tubs on!

The colors weren't my choice but I'm a big fan - at least in pictures.

Hoping for C40 tubs! Highly unlikely this bike will get anything deeper than about 40mm of wheel. We get a lot of wind here and part of me is rationalizing this build by keeping deep wheels on the Tarmac and shallow wheels on this. Which also means not keeping a couple extra sets of wheels for either... like I've been doing...

Ah man this is going to be awesome!!! Love that frame so much. Glad to hear you're going mechanical on it and even more pleased it's going to be 9100!! Can't wait for more, do you have any other parts in mind yet?

Yes, but I've got to leave some things to build up the anticipation...

What kind of frame is it? Ti and a carbon seat tube? And standard road geometry?

It is titanium with a carbon seat tube. Road geometry - but im not sure IF did any "standard" geometry for these (Factory Lightweight).

The geometry is actually very comparable to my last Wilier (STA, HTA, trail, +3mm TT) - with a much taller head tube.

That is a beauty of a frame. Love the color scheme. How much does it weigh for a factory lightweight?
