I'm very close to pulling the trigger on one of these frames to build up as a winter road bike/gravel bike.

I'm just wondering if anyone on the forum has experience with these frames? Reviews online all seem positive.

I've got an old road bike with 6870 Di2 (rim brake though) which I plan on stealing parts from to build up the frame. With new shifters, calipers and rotors it'll be a cheap way to have a very versatile bike. My only concern though is that the Tripster cable routing is external from the bottom bracket to RD. Has anyone experienced running external Di2 cables on a gravel bike? Is this asking for trouble with a bike that's likely to see a fair bit of abuse along British gravel tracks?

Cheers
