Bars are great. The flat tops are awesome to rest your hands on and the drops flare out just a bit making it really comfortable to ride in the drops for long periods of time. They are light but stiff. Just a heads up but the 44cm ergonovas measure 42.5cm at the hoods. If you ride the hoods a lot you might want to size up i normally use a 42cm bar but went with a 44cm ergonova.

Super helpful, thanks!

Zipps are on hand, as are the eebrakes. Am waiting for a 11-28 SRAM Red XG-1190 cassette to be delivered before putting all the new pieces together. Started reading about issues many are having with the Shimano CS-9000, figured it can't hurt to try something new...bonus that the SRAM 11-28 includes the 16 cog...

Thanks for the heads up, good timing I was planning to move the DA cassette to the rails and buy another cassette for the training wheels (ultegra), I'll take a look at the SRAM.
