There is a description listing
all components clearly visible in every ad, you don't know what you're talking about.
Anyway, I might be going with the Swiss after all. The seller went down to 400€ and agreed to replace the rear hub bearings. Ultegra cassette 11-32 included, but the stock one is in better condition.
Initially, the whole Chinese rebrand story deterred me, but it turns out that was in fact a different model. I like the color scheme which will go great with the ALR 5's grey/black frame. I'm also replacing the Shimano 105 crank with a carbon one, so that will look nice together. They weigh about 1.5kg without tires. The bike would be just around 8 - 9kg fully assembled. Last thing I'll switch is the saddle for a carbon one I got laying around.
