Nice build!
Just wondering how tall you are as I'm planning on getting a Stroma but not sure about a small or medium?
Thanks

henry510 says:

172cm but the small size fits more like normal 54cm so just depends on what fit you are going for.

That's great, thanks.
I'm 175cm but shortish legs so I reckon the small should be ideal.

How's riding 1x without the clutch?

If you mean running RX800 with the clutch disabled, zero issues even on super bumpy terrain. I find the clutch really only helps against chain slap and not for chain retention specifically.

Any idea why you went back to mechanical shifting from di2?

I am using the 105 di2 on a different build and had the R7000 shifters from my old cx bike. Reuse + recycle.

I'm pretty stoked. The frame looks good in person. Will report back how the di2 install process goes and post some final build pics.

Amazing final build! Needs gumwalls though!

damn you're right! I have some conti terraspeeds in gumwall 35mm but they would be a tight fit.

Regardless it's a sick build! How are you liking it so far??

frame is pretty good, geo is slacker than the numbers tell so i pulled the 12sp di2 off in favor of mech disc parts i already had for an ubercommuter style
