Very awesome rig man. Check mine out here... https://www.pedalroom.com/bike/surly-lo...
Gonna update it with more picks. Just bought a disc for it after a crash that led to my front caliper mount ripping off. So I'll be running a front disk.

Would you recommend the fsa adventure bars compared to the vero/omega ?

Wow, 9100 STI levers. Neat!
How do you find the feel and quality of gear change with your Tanpan setup? I ask, as I've a old pair of 6800 STI levers laying about, and am thinking about building a 1x11 setup much like yours, though with an m7000 rear derailleur.
I noticed also that you removed the unnecessary front derailleur lever from your LH STI. Are you happy with that?
Beautiful build. And fun by the looks of it. Bravo.

Thank you.I'm so glad.
I think tanpan is pretty good product. high quality and shift performance is not bad all.
The left brake lever is not STI. I attached a SRAM S500 blake lever for the left. I imitated Ben Berden's 2011 purple stoemper ronney. S500 lever is lighter than ST-R9100. and it's cheap.
Sorry for my poor English…

Thank you very much for your answer! I'm glad the tanpan works well. And interesting info about the SRAM lever.
Your English is great! Happy riding.

Of all the DiscTrucker set-ups that I've seen on the WorldWideWeb, this is my favorite. Awesome rig. I'm about to build one that I hope comes close.
