Building the R5 with complete full integration was probably the most frustrating experience of building any bike ever.
Only thing potentially worse was a fully mechanical rim brake Trek Madone when they first did their space shit integrated version that despite building in a full workshop was absolutely harrowing and took about 8h. The brakes on those things were useless and they rode miserably.
