Looks nice. No surprises, but I don't think anyone expected any.

This looks really good. The gap between 105/ultegra has always been small. That explains why Trek put a heavier fork on their 105 Emonda SL5, have to differentiate them somehow.
There‘s the newish RS770 hubs which are Ultegra level, although it‘s strange that those are off-group and a non-matching (although nice) design, while the 105 gets on-group hubs. I guess there‘s no point in trying to understand Shimano‘s „strategy“ here...

it's black and silver, how it wouldn't match? and 105 offered in 2 colors, one of them will match

Look at the lines on those cranks; looks like it is made for a city bike. But to each their own; I would rather use a Praxis Zayante or something. Not the end of the world.
