Hard to see... are those hubs with straight-pull spokes?

Looks like you fit a fixed-height stem, more rigid and less squeaks than the telescoping stem. Nice.

What's your high-cog? 11, or something smaller?

Is the droop-nose on the saddle, for ease of carrying there on your shoulder? Or does your saddle think it's Concorde coming in to land?
