Looks ace!
Doesn’t solve my problem though... as I’m keeping the Cervelo for speed duties, and those handy bolt holes are actually what I’m after!
Interesting comment re: the head tube height though. I want practical, but I still want sporty. More Range Rover than tractor, if you will.
Ring them up, go down there and ride an Etape.
If you actually speak to them, there are some interesting options not on the website.
I fully expected a 10 week wait, but it turned out there was a customer return of what I wanted, but the customer had ordered for SRAM e-Tap.
"Why?" I said. Turned out the first frame had got lost by the courier so they sent a replacement. The first frame then got delivered and the customer (unbelievably) returned the late arrival, still sealed.
It was immaculate and lacking Di2 holes. I said go for it, they whipped it into the workshop, drilled the Di2 holes and did a WAY less than website price deal on the frame and forks.
Incidentally, I was happy to go for bust on the ENVE fork option, but they said if the ENVE forks were still American made, then they'd recommend it. Since Mavic ownership, they're not hence the in house C-Six forks I bought for £250 less. They literally down-sold the forks.
Got money off the titanium seat clamp and two thru-axles appeared in the cart for no money too.
Can't fault the guys under the Covid circumstances and still got to meet some of the builders including their paint shop guy. I cannot tell you how amazing the paint was on a pair of forks he was spraying as part of a £1k job...

If I compare it with my Kinesis winter bike it is a bit like a Range Rover v a tractor 
(although tractor is maybe a bit harsh on the Kinesis) Certainly worth a visit down to see the range & have a word with the guys there. If you wanted a more sporty model I'm sure they would do one with extra mounting points for racks & guards 👍
