Yep. 1x11 Di2:
- 6870-GS rear mech (max 32t)
- Shimano 11sp 11-40T cassette (because XT M8000 hubs. 11sp mtb hubs use a 10sp-width freehub, 1.85mm too narrow for road 11sp cassettes)
- BTR-2 internal battery in an SM-BTC-1 case (includes a 6-port "junction B")
- SW-R600 climbing/pave shifter, sits on the brake lever clamp with one ziptie each side
  (R600 is a proper shifter. R610 sprinter "shifter" are just satellite buttons that feed into the brifter's chip.
- SM-EW90-B 5-port junction, so eventually I can fit drops with Di2 Hydro-brifters.
Need to buy the sticky sheathing to get the wires mounted securely.

Can I ask, why did you pick a Surly to adorn with all that electronic goodness? It's totally rad and I love it, but Surly usually rock the utilitarian vibe and I suppose if I was using Di2 I'd be wanting to put it on a more 'high-end' frame. Just curious really!

I didn't buy the frame, I got DFL at the 2016 Dorset Gravel Dash 100 by stopping on the final descent fot almost 2 hours as one of the guys I was with washed out and broke his femur in 3 places.

I figured seeing as I didn't choose to buy it for a particular necessity, I'd slowly buy nice parts off eBay and discount sales to make a nice bike.

@853Superfly Note the M985 XTR hydraulic brakes. It's a Straggler with Conti RaceKing 2.0 tyres.
