Guessing about 15-16. No idea really. I'll try to find out since this is WW after all. Wasn't building a light rig, just something different from my Spooky.

No idea. First ride tomorrow. To be fair, I'm the worst mechanic ever. My LBS thought my Nashbar microSHIFT on my Spooky worked better with DA7800 than the 7800 shifters, but I have nothing to compare to. I got them to shift just fine, so we'll see after some cable stretch and what not. They were cheap that's for sure! And they come in colors

How do you like the Williams System 19's?? I am considering these as they are cheap and pretty light. Great looking build for sure!!

Sweet ride!
And for those asking, the Rivet has a really solid, stiff ride quality for a tube-to-tube build.
Nice stout front end with the tapered ENVE fork and pretty aggressive geometry.
For those looking at the usual big brand carbon bikes, I'd seriously consider VD for something just as nice with a better value and less ubiquitous design.
Just my two cents!
