Accelerates like a Nissan GTR from a dig, rolls over choppy pavement/braking bumps from 18wheelers with compliance, bars are stiffer than a preachers prick when giving it the beans from an intersection in the drops or cranking n yankin on the hoods. the 105 paired with the DA chain & cassette shift identically amazing as full DA. its flickable at 25kph (steepest climb here) and extremely predictable and linear at 45kph when putting the power down and requires absolutely zero core stability/"weave factor" at speed in the cross winds. its like a freight train on rails that goes straight forever no matter what unless you tell it to do something then its instant and predictable. Hard to argue with! Wish I could take 2 bikes with me overseas!

incredible weight with the 105! Like this approach
-
Very nice build, very impressive weight! Did you weigh the frame+fork? 6.9 with 105 di2. Who is the supplier for those wheels? 1250g for rims that wide is amazing!
-
Nice bike
-
So how did you bring the weight down to 6.8kg?
-
Nice. Who makes those wheels?
-
You must have serious pedal force to overcome that saddle pointing straight down without killing your wrists. Nice bike.

I've been looking at the F5 as an alternative to the F12 or F. Your F5 a great looking Bike! Bars are dope too, I need to conduct some research on them. #RobbArmstrong

What’s with the saddle downward tilt?

You should really check your scales. No way this bike is 6,8kg ever. It is 100% impossible.
