There’s a pair for sale on here atm. Condition isn’t great though and the price isn’t a steal either. Think I paid 200gbp for a complete 7800 group on here just 2 or 3 years ago...

Good call! Ideally, I‘d say 7800 with 7900 shifters and you have the best of two worlds: a tidy cockpit and the shininess ;)

7800 or 7900?

Haven’t really had any new projects lately. I bought a CAAD 7 frame only to realize that I don’t have enough space for another bike - so I quickly sold it again. Other than that, I found a full Mavic SSC groupset locally with some more suitable bits for the Mécacycle slow-burner project (mavic 440 brake calipers, 840 rear derailleur, headset, indexed DT shifters). And yesterday I finally bought a front wheel with a SON dyno hub for my Batavus winter road bike as the battery powered lights barely last for a 60km evening round in the dark...

How does it ride with that much weight on the back? I reckon it helps that you have your weight shifted towards the front with that long and low stem/bar setup. With swept bars it would probably be the ultimate wheelie machine.
The wall thickness of the laminate on the seatpost seems less than ideal, as luescher would say. Then again some ‘high end‘ carbon frames have similarly uneven wall thicknesses. I guess I‘m an RTM fanboy for a reason :) -
Glad to see you went for some shallow rims. Some pedals and a grippier front tyre and it’s a perfect hhsb!
Cool Bikes! That DuraAce/Sram Crank/Chainring combo looks fantastic!
