Agree with gum walls but only if they come with the durability of Conti GP 4 Season - do they exist? I had some Paris Roubaix for the last bike but they fell apart before even being installed.
Di2/Hydro thoughts;
- Installing took some patience.
- My partner is certain it's all going explode and leave me dead in a ditch.
- Braking is amazing, no rattling cables and shifting is so smooth.
- Sram hood callouses do not align with Shimano hoods - Hands need to HTFU.
- R785 Di2 buttons rattle so much Shimano should be ashamed. Going to read the manual and see if theres something that can be tightened/adjusted.
Sram X1 is some serious big ring commitment! The clutch mech looks mean though.
- Installing took some patience.

@iamalex - don't listen to these people who profess about colour! I agree on the bottle cage front, but otherwise, some chunky Paris Roubaix or Strada Bianca (gumwall only, pls) is the only colour a bike like that should ever have.
Hows Hydro / Di2?
Youve basically done what I've been contemplating doing for ages, only i have an itch for Sram Force X1....... theres just something about those massive square chunky shifters! Oh and hopefully getting rid of all the fucking rattles with hydro cables....
