Nicely done. And DA 7800 DOES shift so much nicer than 7900, even if not as clean with ye olde exposed cables. On the other hand, for a REAL "best of both worlds" using 7800, try dropping that groupset on a Reynolds 953 stainless steel Independent Fabrication SSR and you'll see what's missing with even a fine ride like your Ciocc/Concorde Columbus SLX beast. The acceleration and ability to put down power is quite a shock when making the shift.

I knew I took work breaks online for a reason! This is awesome!!! I'll use this as inspiration to get a replacement for my next steel build.
