Nice build. I might have you do my next Kestrel

How do you like the Red? Have you ridden Force/Rival to compare against?

Saddle creak: I have the aero post and my saddle creaked but the saddle was set up too far back. I slid it forward on the rails and it seems to have gone away. My knees are not sore anymore either so I needed to go forward anyway.

I like your bottle cages too.
