Which junction box?

Bar end.

OMG... wheels, stem and seat post now with bike shop. Details of the groupset re-confirmed... should all be coming together whilst I am on holiday :)

What about the pink bar tape? Linky plz.

I don't think Rapha are doing their "Lines" pink colourway as bar tape yet.

But if they did, it would be a thing of beauty.

Nah, the only pink on this bike is the bike... everything else will be black.

Also decided the computer will be a Wahoo Element. I believe this should work with the Shimano power meter crankset. Guess I'll find out.

Then again...

But the pink would never match. I shouldn't even tempt myself.

Pink bar tape = crossing the line boss unless current maglia rosa .. white tape white saddle or black both

Mine went in the bin after one ejection too many caused the bottle to puncture. I thought it was the perfect product for having on the cross bike for training and warm ups, but ejections were frequent, as @biarittz can confirm, as he ran the bottle over once. The bastard.

I have pretty much ridden all over with that bottle cages now in the last two months, from the Veleta, mountain biking, to the track bike on cobbled streets, not once I have managed to get the bottle ejected from the little knob.

Only difficulty is ensuring they're clip in properly.

You're a little knob etc.

Nice. Which bars?

I think I chose the Pro bars... Lemme check.

Bars were the most unsatisfying component, poorly chosen for bar end junction compatibility.

Yeah, Pro Vibe bars PRHA0370

Just googling my options. Not a fan of Pro bits. Thanks.

The bars are fine, those stems they do are terribly ugly though. Went for Enve for the stem.

Hmm 🤔

So the bar end junction box compatible bars are carbon only?

Not a fan of carbon handlebars.

There already may be more choice, I quite like carbon though.

Except weave, when it's exposed to the sun. That stuff doesn't look as good after a decade or so.

Worth experimenting with bars, if they have a cut out for internal cables you can probably wire them up with the bar end.
Was told only pro bars were bar end junction compatible but it's BS, I was able to wire up 3T aeronova and ergonova.

I have not long ago fitted a full Enve componentery on a customer's commuter, while I may turn my nose up on Enve product, their handlebar's shape and feel are simply lovely especially in the drop.

I'm also surprise how well carbon bar are at reducing vibration especially with skinny 25mm, I'd have a look at them if you're thinking about it, it is your dream machine after all.

Except he wants the bar end junction, which wont work with Enve bars

That butt plug on the end of enve bars really gets my goat....
