Good to know about the Enve brake track--the carbon rim brake wheels I used circa 2015 were terrifying dry or wet. And I live in the mountains and I'm 195-200 pounds, so heat buildup is a big concern of mine as well. If I lived somewhere flat and dry, and I was 150 pounds, I wouldn't think twice. For the "tight" bars, I'm talking about how the drop portion is very vertical and short, I'm not sure I could get the palm of my hand on there. And the sq-lab saddle, oof. I've tried one and didn't like it at all, it kinda pitched me forward on my soft bits.
But anyways--those are personal things, the bike looks good, I just wouldn't ride it like it is.

Ah, didn't understand your first post. So you just put a ton of spacers on to get the cables in there. I thought you had put it in your approximate spot before you trimmed the steerer.
