Plans for future:
- Dura-Ace power meter (R9100-P) - release in November ?
- replace spacers for FSA aero (better look, but heavier)


Big thanks to all forum members ! You inspired many of my ideas and helped the build to come true !

I'm open to answer any questions :)

Thanks :beerchug:

The stem offers very solid connection to handle bars. Connection type is innovative and actually much better than standard considering carbon-titanium interface. It's very stiff for sprinting but gives little bit of smoothness in terms of canceling vibrations.

Previously I had EXTRALITE - HyperStem O-6 which was 3 grams lighter (but 10 mm shorter). I definitely prefer THM due to it's stability and look.

I'm considering buying longer one, and this will be again Tibia.

Stem is very expensive, but really worth it.

Thanks :thumbup:

I've had old Venge - see photo below.

Venge was very nice bike but Oltre XR4 is much better, technically speaking (as it is obviously newer).

Main differences are:

- Bianchi is much stiffer in bottom bracket area, you could feel Venge bending while climbing out of saddle.

- Venge was very harsh (stiff) vertically. Did not absorb any vibrations from the road. I can say that Biamchi's Countervail is really working.

- Oltre XR4 is more stable during descending, the fork and head tube are much stiffer.

- I don't like Oltre XR4 seatpost: nice carbon with heavy, old fashioned metal clamping system on top (50g heavier than Venge one).

- I really liked S-WORKS crankset. One of the lightest options on the market (626grams with 50-34 absoluteBLACK oval rings and QUARK power meter).

I hope this answers the question ;)

Can I ask- is that 20mm of spacers? I am thinking about buying one and need 25mm including the top cap ( assuming it is 10mm- so 15mm of spacers. was wondering how it looks like.)

There is 15 mm spacer under the stem and 5 mm over.

I hope it helps.
