Hmmm...not sure what you're asking. This is just a pic of the bb area & chain rub shield

It looks like all of the finish is worn off, next to the chain rings.
edit - I get it..."reflections".

It's just a thin plastic film that's starting to peel off metal chain protector. Prob should have been removed after shipping. The rest is just dirt

Charging on the 6870 group is via the junction box under your stem.
Definitely go for the seatpost battery.
I think you should be able to install Di2. You may have to enlarge the cable exits at the derailleurs and one of the cable entries on the down tube just behind the head tube.
Make sure you can run cables through your bottom bracket shell. You need to hook up the other junction box near the BB. It will be almost impossible if you don't have cutouts in the alloy sleeve inside the BB shell.

Thanks very helpful. Looks like I need to pull the crank & investigate the bb shell before going any further. Cheers

Don't know if Focus made specific framesets, but the 2012 Izalco Team 2.0 came with DA Di2...

Focus Izalco is specific mech or electric.

ok...so if mine is mech, I can only do externally routed di2? How do u tell a di2 frame from mech frame? Manufacturer has been zero help thus far. I'm seeing 2012 di2 izalcos on ebay but can't determine the difference via auction pics. Thx
-
I think the Izalcos were color coded to its given parts group. If you can find a pic of the Di2 Izalco from '12, you can see if it matches your frame's color scheme.

I think you're right. All the di2 izalcos I found on ebay are red/black/white. Mine is blue/black/white. Sounds like I'll need to switch frames for internal di2.
-
Mechanical frames have two inlets on the downtube for derailleur cables.
Electric frames have one inlet for the Di2 wire.

I have both a 2011 Izalco Team mechanical and a 2012 Izalco Pro electronic. You will have a hard time running electronic on a frame made for mechanical...the internal housing guides are closed inside the frame for both front and rear derailleurs. And the electronic frame has a "frame" inside the BB shell that keeps the wires from touching the crank spindle. The electronic frame is also totally open inside so you can pull/access wires.
