So what is the plan for your cockpit? Any workup of the total build and estimated weight?

Oh, the larger torx could be a T50 or T55....
Thanks! Cockpit will consist of the Pro Vibe carbon bars seen in the first picture and probably a Pro Vibe 120mm/10 degree stem. Still thinking about what seatpost to go with..thinking about a Thomson set-back post.

When you say "workup" I'm assuming you mean price. Everything seen so far has set me back around $1400. Add $805 for the November 58/50mm tubulars I just ordered (upgraded to black cx-ray spokes) and $1300-1400 (what I hope to pay off eBay) for Ultegra Di2 components this Spring...well you get the idea.

I have no idea how much this thing will weigh when it's done. My goal here is to build a top-notch race bike with quality components where no single part costs more than a few hundred bucks in the event that I crash it and have to replace it. In other words, still an expensive race bike but built with a reasonably priced frame and wheels to protect myself financially if/when I do crash.
