Have you got the bits to go on the frame or is the card taking some further hammer?

The frame comes with bars , brakes , forks and seat post so i was going to swap over my ultegra group set on to it but now i'm thinking Di2 .
My last race this season is on sunday so sensible me is saying dont rush the build and get it ready for next year . The sensible me has never won a decision i must add

That's gotta have Di2 on it.
Dura-Ace Di2 that is

I know but i'm not sure i want Di2 . Wouldn't mind it on my road bike as a bit of bling but for racing i want simple .That's gotta have Di2 on it.

Will be expecting big things next season then!
A 22 maybe?

I dont think this buy will make any difference mate . I just wanted it . If anything i will probably be slower on it until i have tweaked things and got it how i want it .
Under the hour on Sunday with my current set up is the goal . Not gonna happen but i'll try .

Thanks
. After speaking to Giant today there may be an issue with Di2 and my wheels . I have lots of wheels and they are all 10 speed . Some can be converted to 11 speed but i don't think my disc can .The build is happening on Friday next week 
I've been working my nuts off trying to get everything paid for and i have had some massive discounts from my LBS 
The plan was to just swap all my stuff over from the TT bike i already have but after seeing the frame in the flesh it seemed a shame to go for second hand parts so decision time . It seemed my wheels are 11 compatible so Di2 was back on the cards but after thinking about it and not being made of money i decided on Ultegra 6800 11 speed mechanical . I still needed the groupset anyway so if i decide to go Di2 later its just the shifters and derailleurs i'll need to change .
I figured the money i was going to spend on that would be better spent elsewhere so ive started looking at power meters . I'm thinking either stages for durability but then i will still need pedals so in the ultegra flavour i'm looking at about £7-750 . P1 pedals are only another £200 and i already have the new cranks but then theres another grand

You know me, I'd love to do this but I just can't
Sounds great though, some of the quickest guys I know don't have Di2, I think Ultegra is a great choice.
I've just been upgrading my old Argos Ventura with some 105 bits and pieces, probably spent £240 all in which made me sweat a bit (plus a bit updating my tool collection) can't wait to see some pics of your build and see the progress next season!
Was thinking of shifting my Trinity on, but now decided to train again in the winter and give it a go next season
and try to keep my head in order this time 
Your Trinity is the one i wanted years ago . Its before the changed everything around and started calling things pro . If you dont need the money for other things then i would keep that bad boy !Yes, I would be crying!

I was on a job last year where the decorator TT'd . He didn't go in for any of this fancy stuff and just rode his bike . Placed 12th in the BBAR
