The groupset and the combination of black and silver parts really suit that frame. Looks like it rides very nicely, did you do the tubeless setup in the end?

Yeah, I think it's a nice ride, and I don't find it overly harsh either. Steering is quick, which makes the bike feel fun, but otoh can be slightly worrysome at 50kph. Or maybe it's just the speed.
I haven't tried the tubeless setup yet. Still planning to, but I do things at a sedate pace sometimes 🙃

One of the AXS brifters was faulty and drained a new battery in a fortnight, which killed my initial enthusiasm a bit. I only got a warranty replacement late in the summer, so ended up not doing much riding on the 2.8 last year.
This summer is looking up, I hope. I did a 150km fixie-scene-adjacent event with this setup last weekend:
There was a fair bit of gravel thrown in, too. This was some of my less fortunate route choices:
Some bits were borrowed from other bikes, so I'm not sure how permanent this will be. Kind of tempted to leave the bag support / quick release in place, or get a second one or something (I do have a Nitto R-10 knocking about). The big Super C bag is a bit overkill, though, so a slightly smaller alternative would be nice. Plus with the frame pump the bottles are hard to get out of the cages. This being lufguss I suppose the obvious answer would be Tijmen & Hulsroy, but let's see.
