Took the bike out for its first ride last night and it rode absolutely amazing... except for the front shifting of course. Was able to grind my way into a few front shifts but had a couple really bad chain drops and that gets old reaaaaal quick. Definitely looking for a better solution.

Shifting is definitely faster than the Campagnolo derailler, and Im optimistic it might work over the wider chainline of my Logic Compact cranks but have not had time to try it yet.

I just ordered an Ultegra FD-R8000 as a final test after reading that Shimano might actually shift better with Campy 11, and this particular model is supposedly made for wider range and wider chainline popular on new gravel/road disc models with 135-143 rear spacing. If this doesn't improve overall shifting I might throw in the towel on this crankset dream and find a similar 110bcd vintage double that I can throw some similar extralite rings on for a comparable aesthetic
