Looks like I will taking the 2015 Propel with stages power meter

 

Better make sure you get in some big solo breaks now to take that aero advantage to the max!

 

Nice choice and give feed back after you've been on it for a bit, there are a lot of people interested in that ride and it's always good to get real opinions from other hubbers.

Apparently the Propel (Ultegra DI2) weighs about 7.5 - 7.8kg. If you replace the standard wheels (1840g) and put on Zipps (1250g) or Token T33 (1138g) you can have a sub 7kg bike. You can also replace the crank with a FSA SL-K light crank and save another 200g.

Here is my sort list so far.

2014 Propel Advance Ultegra DI 10 speed  for R35k.

2015 Propel Advance Ultegra DI2 11 speed for R40k

2015 Spez Venge Pro Race mech Ultegra 11 speed for R65K

 

If I go Propel I can add stages and ceramic bearings tubby wheelset  and ceramic bb but not with Spez.

I like the Venge and should I change something that works for me?

 

 

Bit of a weight penalty with aero bikes, Zatek.

Is that a set choice or are you open to other  suggestions?
