What an amazing build!!! How much does it weigh in at? How do you like your carbon rotors and your titanium handlebars?

Thank you tumitsu. It weighs 23.6 lbs in the flat bar configuration as pictured.
The SiCCC rotors fit my needs very well. They don't become hot enough to glaze pads, and modulation is outstanding. Raw power is adequate with the right brake pad compound & friction surface area, plus 180mm rotor size or larger. They produce little noise with most pad compounds, and are very quiet with a few pads in particular. The downside is not all Kettle rotors to date are true; some are though.
Titanium as a handlebar material has provided great bump compliance. Its 730mm width (with shorter stem) improved handling control over my previous drop bar fits, especially when the road is rough and/or technical. I like the handlebar a lot, despite some manufacturer QC issues.

A few changes to Ruben, carbon flatbar, stem with less reach & more rise, ergo grips, and 203mm steel front rotor. The RaceFace NEXT bar with Ergon GS1 grips have improved comfort significantly. Raw braking power is way up with the Hope V4 Vented rotor.
