I'll try not to disappoint. But, if I don't disappoint I wouldn't be living up to my standard hence I would disappoint...mind blown, puff!

Derailleur is supposed to be delivered on 11/15, I think the SS option is no longer an option (duh), my next ride is probably due in a coupe of weeks...

I know, right? Probably more a @jimvreeland thing, (purple and donut), I don't eat donuts anymore. Also, they only appear to make the headset plug and not the bar end plugs in that style...bummer! They have so many great designs, a little expensive though.Only one bar plug for that bike.

Always put the overlap of the finishing tape on the bottom of the bar so you can't see it.

Yes, I underestimated the stretchiness of that tape. Thanks for the feedback, I’ll keep that in mind for next time.

Latest update on the new to me bike build, I managed to shed some excess weight from it bringing the rider weight under the 200lbs mark, even though just barely (198.4)…no titanium bits were involved either!
Unfortunately, in spite of the weight loss I was pretty slow during my last ride on Sunday, the cold seemed to harden my joints, if felt like they were made of wood…

GRX shifter and 11s chain arrived. Too bad I’ll have to sell this bike as well as all the others on top of performing favors of a sexual nature in order to pay for the new roof…it was nice to think I had a gravel bike once!

The garage roof on the other hand turned out to be in perfect shape, so the bikes are fine. I'm actually considering to move in the garage attic...
Well, after all post-wh**e is only a word away from full blown wh**e, so...

Please explain to me in a convincing way why I shouldn't buy a Kona Honzo ST frame or, if it makes more sense, why I should buy one...all of a sudden I feel the need for a modern geo HT...but not too modern (Honzo ESD)...

I have an aluminum frame that is very supple and compliant, can also handle 27.5+ and 29
Or whole bike minus wheels

I know you do. I love that frame but I love the ST even more...
