Happy to create an account on WW, and surely my first post must be about the new frameset build into a bike. It's not on the lighter side here but serves a 85 kg rider on flat courses well.
Image

Frameset: Bianchi Oltre XR4 (59 cm)
Brakes: Shimano Ultegra R8010 (rim calipers)
Drivetrain and levers: Ultegra Di2 "old!"
Wheelset: ENVE SES 3.4
Handlebar and stem: PRO Vibe Carbon Aero Superlight Carbon & Pro Vibe
Saddle: Selle Italia SLR Kit Carbonio Flow
Pedals: Favero Assioma Duo
Weight (w/o - w bottle cages and pedals): 7250 g - 7660 g

So this is "build1", and one day the drivetrain will be upgraded. Now I wanted to save some and took the parts from my old XR2.
Some further discussion and photos on my blog.

Sometimes it's a good option to see non-celeste Bianchis. Enjoy it and welcome!

The old ultegra looks quite good on this frame set. Silver with black is a great color combo

Thank you all. Let's hope we'll get rid of the snow soon... let's say before the end of March.

I bought and got these from a German web shop (not installed yet): https://k-edge.com/shop/computer-mounts ... -pro-vibe/ and https://k-edge.com/shop/computer-mounts ... interface/

Ah okay, I was hoping that you maybe know about something that is not from k-edge and can be bought in Europe.

I installed the K-edge system yesterday. Otherwise nice but I doubt how my old GoPro Hero 5 Session camera will do with it. It doesn't feel rigid enough for the camera and I expect it to shake on rough surfices so that a newer GoPro with a good stabilizer may be worth investing.

Here's the link to the product on a German online retailer page: https://www.bike-components.de/de/PRO/C ... in-p75193/

Nice bike.
Personally I would have opted for a black colored crank with black chainrings.

Wow, what a zebra! Seriously, those FFWD wheels go nice with that frame. Yours is white on black background, mine is the opposite.

I would enjoy seeing more photos posted here as I have one on order in the same paint code but there are few to find on the internet of this newer "black" scheme. Almost all that pop up on a search are the older versions.
