That’s a genius location in the Seatpost for the junction box! Very impressed with that idea from Specialized

[@thedropcycling]

yeah I like it a lot, good spot, same as the tarmac sl7

[@Strop311964]

Handlebar end is better unless you're a pro having a team mechanic working on it while you ride.

[@johnoakleymusic]

Why? Who touches it whilst they ride anyway? It’s only really for charging or for putting into Bluetooth mode once in a blue moon to tweak stuff or update firmware. I have bar end junctions on both of my bikes but I can see this is a genius idea and far neater and no negative

[@thedropcycling]

@@Strop311964 bar end junction box is more handy if you want to adjust it on the go, but not if you crash the bike it might get destroyed with the bars. my personal favorite is in the downtube

8'14", looks like the flanged connecting bolt being over tighten a bit which could potentially damage the olive. Usually 5-6N.m of force will leave an approx. 1mm gap between the flanged connecting bolt and the thing next to it. Fun to watch!

Wonderful video both an artist and a craftsman at work much applause to you sir! I got my S-Works SL7 a month ago and much in all as I'd love a set of Lightweight M's the budget of €13,000 was spent on the bike itself! I went DuraAce Di2 but swapped out BB and obviously went CS OSPW (I take it this build they were coated!) But one day I would love a set of the Lightweight Meilenstein Shwarz edition clincher wheelset can't go back to Tubes as my Campagnolo Bora Ultra Two's broke my heart with punchers!

[@jadawinblack1555]

Certainly the most bling build i have ever seen. But does it make sense ? LW Wheels are kind of outdated and not very aero. I ride Enve 5,6 on my Venge, together with Chris King Hubs. A part wheel choice the bike is stunningly beautiful and very well put together. I like the red colour.

[@thedropcycling]

Agree, the owner wants build a bike functional but lightest possible. I guess that's why lightweight is why the choice is made

[@Freddy3792]

Totally agree with you. Rolled my eyes when I saw it. If you already go for an aero bike, use wheels that are aero. If weight is the goal, he should have taken a Tarmac. But at the end of the day we are all amateurs and it matters more if you love your bike 😂

Beautiful bikes, but those bottle cages in white??

I'm not saying this is the case here, but most bikes with all top end components are built by people who suffer from gear lust, and they are usually average riders who don't put a lot of miles.

I don't know if anyone agrees but I find the smaller the frame gets the less attractive it becomes

Frame size 54 or 56 is the sweetspot imho for most roadbikes. It flows nicely with the wheels and all
