Kinesis Racelight 4S Disc 63cm Cyan Metallic Blue, Alloy, 819,57 € & 2,2kg
This was the most laborious decision after an extensive comparation. I was looking for:
Disc brakes: I'm a heavy rider (86-89kg) from the north of Spain (rainy all year long), and been waiting for disc brakes since my first 200km brevet raining all day.
Wider tyres: I've been all my roadie life on 23mm tires, last year finally tried a 25mm front... lets make it 28mm! (also tubeless, just to see how it works for me)
Endurance style: I'll ride brevets, attempt the Madrid-Gijón-Madrid (1200km like PBP) but also have rides just for fun and adventure.
Lightweight: Not weightweenies light, but still on a decent weight for a big rider like me, under 10kg would be ok, like my actual Kinesis Decade Convert2 custom
Also that offered a size big enough for me (1,92m tall), non-carbon (just don't like the material), no more than 1000€ and 2,5kg (including fork)
In the box you get a frame, fork and small box with parts:

Complaints
The Di2 exit holes came without plugs (I think they don't provide them)
The front brake hole paint is a little chipped :
