Not yet (picking it up next week after power meter and new bar install).
But soon!

That said, I need Tarck’s guidance on what bartape I should run on this:

Doug says I should go white with a white saddle, but I think that’s insane for a bike that will be ridden on gravel and mud a bunch.

I’d go blk/blk even though wht/wht would look baller. Whiter tape gets dirty quicky, and the saddle will look nasty after a bunch of dirty miles, even after cleaning it with a magic eraser. The better question is, how did you find a complete bike with di2 GRX in these current times?

Shimano rep told me ultegra di2 groups are a few months out and grx di2 is even further. The biggest hurdle is the current internal battery has no ETA whatsoever.

Oh, that’s a misleading pic - I just got plain ol’ GRX600. That picture was just the best one I found of the paint color.

Get an absurd colored saddle that fits your butt, then get tape to match the saddle
