Original plan was to build an ultra endurance bike using the Willier Rave SLR. Bought all the components for a 2xChainring built till it was realised that it could only take 36mm wide tyres. 40mm tyres could only be fitted with single Chainring set up. Thus the long 2.5 months wait before my chosen colour and size for the Grow became available.

    How is the groupset so far?

    Ok. Shifting is tad slower than Di2 and the buttons less sensitive. Need to press harder for the buttons to react. Else, love the adjustability of the speed, from 10 to 13 speed.
