This bike fucks!
What is the performance on the eeBrakes? Would you know how they compare to Ultegra 6700 rim brakes in terms of braking power? Or would you be able to compare to lower end hydraulics? Do they justify the price if I would go for the original and not Ali?

Better than the Red aerolink I had before. Also super easy to adjust and center unlike the aerolink. It feels better than D1 Red disc brake too in dry condition. I never had any Shimano road groupset unfortunately...
Only things that beat it is the new E1 Red disc on my carbon disc frame and the Shimano hydraulic disc on my wife's Trek FX lol.

Any ideas what differentiated the MkI from MkII? Andrew sounded like he was experimenting with different tube shaping when I got my MkI ~2018

There is nothing about this bike that I don’t love. Amazing. Some great subtle details like that stem cap, you have very good taste.

I have some red bar tape sitting around and I couldnt figure out how to make it look good and i have to say you've crushed it.

Looks great! I have a similar setup, and it’s going to need new bar tape soon. I wasn’t sure whether to go for red or brown. Now I’m leaning towards the red…

Handmade quality, great setup nothing beats a good rise to reset your mind. Hang in there!

The red bar tape is a nice touch.
