No tape in the photo but weighed with the tape stacked on the saddle



Been out for a quick shake down spin, very enjoyable ride feels the same as before bar the shifting which is sublime rear brakes a little soft for my liking but has lots of control, front though is spot on

Did you factor in the weight of the sticky tape as well? Could be a few grams there

Probably over compensated as I didn't use the full runs of the bar tape so it may be a smidge less if anything.

No stickers. Stealth. Stickers will end up looking too "busy" and like a clubbie or dentist who rides a Pinarello like that angry Pinarello dude on here.

You've been seen in a dentist, guilty by association there.

First ride out shifting was silky smooth despite the heavy rain and standing water managed to sync up the Wahoo so it shows me what gear I'm in.

Little tweaking needed as I kept getting numbness in the right hand going to ride again unchanged as I may have just been gripping to tightly with it as the left hand was totally fin.

Bar the minor hand issues I literally cannot fault it it doesn't care about cross chaining, also the lack of chain slap over rough ground and cattle grids is very nice.

I like white bikes, drop a few stem spacers and point the shifters down a bit and we're good to go.
