Lots of beautiful bikes in here...
I only saw 1 Di2 build...has anyone built up a CAAD12 (disc) with Di2?
Trying to find some pics or a lits of grommets, etc that were used.
Real question is routing around the BB. I know the Synapse has a cover that you need to get to protect the e-tubes.
Thanks in advance

I haven't found a single Caad 10 with that color scheme, that looks good. Not in this topic, not anywhere else. Has anyone seen a Caad 10 with this color that looks good?
Finally manned up and put some decent wheels on the bike and took a picture.
Sort of a budget build, I found parts here and there. A frame that was used but unused.
Cannondale CAADX
Rival Hydro R with long cage rear derailleur
Already had a BB30 crankset from a 2010 CAADX I had. I'm not sure what I'll do in that area. Maybe I will install my Quarq (after my TT season is done in two weeks) with a Woolftooth 42T and have a 1x drivetrain.
Wheels on the picture are DTSwiss R24 with Clement MSO that I was able to install tubeless. I have Easton EC90XC with 28mm right now and will have my CX tires on it during the season.

That looks great. What size is it? Do you have a complete build weight?

Its a 52cm
I dont have an accurate weight, will do the old stand on scales test later. I'm guessing its ~7.5kg. I was 8kg before I changed anything. Sram red/force bits, chainset, tyres, bars, saddle, skewers all a fair bit lighter.
Currently weighing up if changing the seatpost is even worth the weight saved. Only two lighter (worthwhile) options are Enve and Thomson and I need setback, which looks awful from thomson.
Needs lighter inner tubes, new bottle cages on route. Then basically all thats left is wheels which will be a huge saving as these are 1900g almost.

Beautiful, beautiful bike!
It might not matter to you, but it looks like your bars might be on the verge of being UCI illegal. I learned from Roger Hammond that the bar must not go below the tops of the wheels. He wasn't worried about the rule per se, since officials almost never checked. Instead he was worried about skinning his knuckles on the rear tires in the peloton around him!
Here's the relevant article:
ARTICLE 1.3.022
“...The handlebars must be positioned in an area defined as follows: above, by the horizontal plane of the point
of support of the saddle (B); below, by the horizontal line passing through the highest point of the two wheels ...”

I'm pretty sure it's UCI illegal for a road bike. I usually set up my bars to skirt that limit, and that usually means ~100mm head tube with -7 stem or ~120mm head tube with -17 stem with a 10mm headset spacer and compact bars. It's a pretty arbitrary rule though (like many things UCI), given that if you ran 650c rims, you could get lower bars, except then you have to be limited to 650c parts. The way the rule is phrased, you have to add a 5mm spacer moving from 23mm to 28mm tires.
