Good thing your Captain Obvious :mrgreen:
In a few days with the birth of this two-wheeled vehicle an era is going to end..
..an era of anticipation, an era of uncertainty, an era of goddamn-it-Gum-just-post-the-thing-already
I, for one am sort of going to miss the agony of the thread :D
But at the same time will be happy for you aswell :beerchug:

I finally got around to taking some initial pictures. I'll get more detailed ones tomorrow. The bike weighs 5.41kg (11.94lbs) with the Enve 42's and 5.21kg (11.50lbs) with the Enve 24's. There are no "tuned" parts, so it could go lower if I get bored. That being said, it's not the lightest bike on here, but it's ride is really nice. I'm really happy I decided to keep it. It's much nicer than the Time Ulteam that I was previously on. I didn't realize how much of a difference it would be. The dialed in fit has a lot to do with that I'm sure.

Build list:
Ruegamer Frame, derailleur hangers and seatpost clamp 1087g
Edge 1.0 Fork 302g - sanded to 295g to match the frame
EE Cycleworks brakes 170g

Red Black rear dérailleur 145g
Red Black front derailleur 68g
SiSl Crankset 454g
SRAM ceramic bb30 bearings
BERK seatpost combo 150g (previously had Omni seatpost 155g &  POP saddle 59g)
AX4000 42cm Handlebars 144g
Extralite UL3 stem 90mm 78g
Kmc gold chain (all links 254g)
TA syrius 36t 34g
TA syrius 50t 86g
Kcnc R1  64g
PRO bar tape 75g (full length weight, not sure what it weighs on the bike)
PRO bar plugs 6g
SRAM red shifter L 160g
SRAM red shifter R 163g
Powercordz Prime Cable set
Kcnc Chainring bolts 9g
Look Keo Blade 186g

Wheelset:

Enve 45 with Tune Mig70, Mag170 and Sapim spokes - 1023g
Kcnc 11-23 cassette 118g

Lol I'll get better pics. I'll even spoil you and get big ring pics :mrgreen: It was About to rain, so I had to be quick :oops:

The slope is something that I like. I've always ridden bikes with slope. Saves some weight and I like the look better. I don't mind the classic look, but I prefer the long seatpost...especially when it is a super light combo :thumbup:

it looks beatiful! (only critic would be the spacer above the stem :D )

i would love to see the veloflex on the enve 24 too! i think it looks best with the 24 but the brown colour from the 42´s tires looks just right.
nice bike (and i really mean that! ;) )
