Well, after a yearlong delay, now I'm getting the build together.
Covid supply chain problems meant I had to change a bunch of things.The frameset is currently sold out but Ritchey says it'll be restocked in late January.
We did end up getting the Ritchey Tandm Zeta wheelset, which was only $400. They do seem maybe a little cheap... but TBD, since I haven't ridden them yet. We'll see.
For the drivetrain we're going to go with Ultegra 11sp with the FSA cranks converted to a double (inner chainring removed). Maybe a GRX rear derailleur if I can find one, which would allow for extra low gearing.
For brakes I've heard good things about the Juin Tech R1, which are apparently the same as the Yokozuna Motoko except half the cost. We'll try those mated to Hope floating rotors, 203mm.
We'll do a Ritchey cockpit, maybe in silver. And I got a good deal on an eeSilk suspension seatpost so we'll try that for the stoker.
