Agreed. Not on board with the price or weight (though Deda is ~65g complete). I'll probably just stick with trusty Traforato!
Don't know what Deda tape is 65g but atleast Traforato is 36g complete.

Mine was even lighter at 24.2g. Both plugs weighed 2.1g each. Definitely worth going this route.

Took 9.5cm off the fork today and started hanging parts.

This bike is a bit of an experiment so I'm leaving 2cm of extra steerer in case it doesn't work out. The reach is the same as a 54cm Tarmac, but in my head I'll probably have reservations about it being a "baby bike" until I get a ride in. If it fits, I've got at least another 6g to take off that fork :)

Still waiting on parts to trickle in. I've been trying to place an order with Darimo but the time spent waiting for responses leaves me pondering other posts. A 300mm Superlogic post should now put me at my goal of sub-12 lbs.

Handlebar experiment.

Going to black out the pinstripes for the test phase. If they pass, I'll take them off and strip them.

Now just waiting on a seatpost. Fortunately, a bunch of travel over the next few weeks to distract be from the agony of waiting.

What year are those levers? You either have the wrong front or rear derailleur

Good eye @Atterman. Levers are 2015+, but the front derailleur is pre 2015.

Huh, I did wonder about that. The only campy FDs I've had have been S2 so I didn't know exactly what the non-s2 looked like. Guess this is neither! Not terribly bothered at this point. If the lever throw feels tremendous maybe I'll pick up a new S2. Definitely a good catch!

Nice build, are you going to paint the handlebar?

It’s not about whether it’s “S2” or not. That’s neither here nor there. It’s the arm of the derailleur itself. The arm on the derailleur you need for your 2015+ group is much longer, like a Shimano 9000/9100 style. I doubt the derailleur you have will work very well, or at least not like it’s supposed to, with the 2015+ levers.
The only thing about the S2 version is a little arm on top (I toss it) which leverages against your seattube to add some stiffness if the seattube or hanger is a little flexy. Trying to do the same thjng the little “support” screw on the Shimano derailleurs do. But the derailleur you have appears to be pre-2105 which is not compatible with the 2015+ levers.

Huh, I thought the S2 difference WAS the length of the arm
