Recently purchased a 2015 Supersix Evo Nano-mod Black Inc. size 48 frameset. Anyone here with a similar frame? Looking for build suggestions. Planning to use it as my daily bike. Also need help deciding between SRAM Red eTap, Red 22, and Dura-Ace R9100 mech as the frame is not Di2 ready.

Sweet frame. You don't see the superlight Black Inc. versions often.

Last year I put together a 5.65kg build with 11 spd Red 22, but in the last month switched over to Red eTap when my brother upgraded from that to 12 spd Red AXS and gave me his cast off groupset!

If you can splurge for the price difference, I much prefer the eTap over the Red 22 for the following reasons:
-- about the same weight after you remove all the shffter cables (within 5-10g on my build).
-- shifting much more precise. You can tweak each individual cog.
-- the shifting is much less clunky. If I had to decide between DuraAce & Red 22 based on feel I'd take DuraAce hands down. Red is much more mechnical while Dura Ace & Ultegra is buttery.
-- Mechanical shifting degrades with use while eTap doesn't
-- Don't have to replace the cables each season, which is a pain for internal routing.
-- cleaner look and slightly more aero

Of course one downside is that you have to remember to charge the batteries.

Exactly what I was looking for. Someone who has used both Red mechanical and eTap. Thanks! This helps me a lot on deciding which groupset to get.
