Any opinions on stem aesthetics? Wonder if a -10 or -17 might look more appropriate. For the 'gram, that is. Also thoughts on a silver stem? Or is that silly? Was thinking Thomson X2.

17 deg Uno's are so cheap why not ride one for a bit to see how it feels? I think the 10 deg ITM I have on my commuter was under a tenner.

Super slammed -17 looks the coolest IMO. If I could I'd run mine with a tester's top cap, -17 looong stem and classic handlebars, but I got enough drop already

Think -17 stems generally look a bit odd with a slanted top tube, -10 should match the angle of the TT pretty well though...

Feel like that will be a colour mis-match. Silver is much trickier than black.

Any idea on relatively cheap -10 stems to try before committing? Will try a -17 110mm per @onyerbike

This!

Pro LT is cheapish... looks like it comes in -10

Looks tidy...if you fancy on a pro vibe stem i have 110 10° the sky version

Let’s try this again.

Nice! complete rebuild?

How are the di2 cables routed into the frame?

Yep. Entirely from scratch.

Shifters connected through the bars and then a single cable into the frame via some heat shrink.

Looks legit.
