You know what? Their quality is well known on these boards and their specs are so close that I actually chose on aesthetics and that's very close as well.

On my Madone I'm currently running the FSA k-Force Light stem and k-Wing bar and I love them both so much I considered them for my new build. But I ultimately wanted to try something new and different.

I have the 3T Ergonova bar and I do not hit my wrists in the drops while sprinting.
It's all downhill from here, except for the uphills.

To each his own I guess but you are the first negative comment. They are 4 year old wheels but still running strong. When I am riding fast I am told the wheel logos look cool. :noidea:

I don't mean to be negative this bikes looks good. Just that I think the loud white eve logo on the wheels and stem take away from the centerpiece (i.e. the frame). Not a big deal really :D

If I remove the logos they will show the outline. I might be able to get black on black but then I'd also want to go with a black saddle and tape. If you look at Pina site they have a red f8 with loud Boras so I am ok with the look for now.

he wheels I'm building are logoless... They are 60mm carbon hoops with Sapin CX- Ray spokes and Carbon hubs with Red spoke carrier. I built up the same Spec F8 (they use the 54cm weight) on Wrenchscience and it came out to 6.75g I have a 53cm frame coming. I'm pretty happy with that number.

You will likely come in just north of 15 lbs unless those hoops are tubular. What pedals?

The wheels are clinchers, they are much easier because of debri on the coastal routes. The pedals will be my Look KEO Blade 2 Ti. WS calculated 14.9lbs so just north of 15lbs is acceptable. How much does yours weigh with Di2?

It was 15lb 5oz but should be less now since the steerer tube was cut and spacers eliminated.
