    Nice build, bet that is a fantastic ride. Did you consider Rotor cranks? I know the FSA are light but I find the rings are quite soft. Anyway, nice work.
    I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles

    Thanks, it's quite special to ride. The FSA cranks came with the frame. I have Rotors on my S5, and will be putting Rotor LT power cranks on this when they're available (with Praxis rings) - although that will tip it over the 6kg mark, sadly.

    Why external battery?

    2012 frame - no provision for Di2 or internal cabling. I suppose you could bodge an internal battery using the BB drain hole or something, but I already had the external mount from a previous R3 build.

    Thanks. Yes, SLC2s have a long reach; saves me using a longer stem to get the position I want on the hoods, and I like the feel in the drops.
