It's considerably better looking than the road going 105 and Ultegra cranksets and a 2x option is an excellent idea. No 10 tooth rear cassette option though, which is limiting, doesn't quite give you the top end range if going from a double 50/11 to a single 42/11, so you'd have to stick to a double for that top end gearing.
Downhill and not often but, hard to believe I know, I have run out of gears on a 42x11 setup doing about 30. I suppose I could have pedalled faster, 110/120 but at the time I just wanted a bigger gear for a more relaxed cadence. That was on the way down into Betwsy on the A5, you probably know it.Not so sure that is a problem to be honest, 42x11 at 90rpm is still around 28mph - do you regularly pedal at that speed, I don't, I'm usually freewheeling by that point.
Yup, I know the one, it's a nice sweeping descent and I do take advantage of a 52t front as much as I can!Downhill and not often but, hard to believe I know, I have run out of gears on a 42x11 setup doing about 30.

Anybody bought it yet?
I’ve ordered it should arrive this week, fitting it to a kinesis gtd. hard to find real world experiences of it. Lbs convinced me to go for it.
