stole your bike
Very nice bike! I like that Specialized has toned down the branding because it wasn't too long ago that they plastered their name on every available space. Enjoy and let us know how you like it.

I'm sure that bike will ride wonderfully, enjoy it!
On a side note, I've found that the gold KMC chain loses its coating very quickly and then looks rather foul.
KCNC skewers--have you used them before? Curious if you've experienced any slippage or having to really tighten it down.

I've been on them for about a year and haven't had any slippage problems. As yes, actual weight is 44g.
Speaking of which, OP, I recommend you point them forward. As someone else mentioned, best to avoid catching wheels, but also the KCNC skewers in particular are designed to be pointed that way (logo orientation is upside down otherwise).
Nice looking ride!

But let's face it.
It's no Cervelo.

yup go take a look at them and if they are pointing back you will see they read CNCK. Backwards probably is best for mountain biking for the reasons you've given.

Here is a more recent pic of the bike in a more fitted config with its new seat and seatpost. I had to put my old seat on there initially because Specialized seat posts are not compatible with Fizik rails.
