Any idea when we might see some new colorways (2022)?
From what I've heard mid July to early August.

I actually like that look better than the stock setup.

Do you mind posting a few pics from different angles.....above, below and a front view?

Where did you get those decals?
Is the the Green Chameleon frame with custom decals?
I am looking for a place to buy s-works decals but would like them to match with the ones I already have

@Fideliojbc, I'm sure you'll find them on ebay etc. But you need to measure carefully length and width if you want to put your decals over your existing logos. And you need high quality vinyl. In my case it was a graphic designer I know that made my decals. It's not green chameleon BTW. I sanded the frame down completely and added some satin finish clearcoat. And then the decals.
@ride4life, I'll make some more pics soon.

What seatpost is that? From whom?

I built it myself. I used the standard 0 offset seatpost from Specialized to make a mould of the D shape. The layup pattern is a mix of UD and 3K carbon cloth. Internal bladder is a modified latex tube to provide compaction. I also made the half moon out of carbon (3K only). The rod, both yokes and titanium bolts are from Schmolke. Total weight is 106g.

Sorry to disappoint but I’m just making parts for myself. I know how to build carbon parts but I’m not a professional. It’s a just a hobby for me. I have no problem if I break my own stuff but it would be devastating for me to find out that others break parts that I made. Besides, my stuff is all uniquely flawed and it takes a lot of time to build them.
I'm sure Darimo will soon release the long awaited 0 offset version for you guys ;-)

@LanceLegstrong. Mine came in at 360g plus 19g for the Garmin mount. They measure true to spec indeed. The included transition spacer fits the Specialized bearing cap perfectly. But the internal routing is a nightmare since the holes are very small. I had to make them a bit bigger at the bottom of the stem.

Did the LBS give any hints at some of the colorways?

no, he doesn't know them yet. Only thing he's sure of: there will be some colours MY '21 that will also be MY '22 and there will be several new colourways as well.
When he has seen them, he'll call me so i can order one.
