It would appear you have kept it to near the radiator

Haha just for photo purposes, otherwise it had it's special place next to the sofa.

How do you pre-load the headset with those Gaz?

This video probably explains in better than I can, or maybe not. Basically the screw clamps something into place and that keeps the load on the bearings, meaning you can make adjustments to your stem without having to reload the bearings.

Still a way to go

Exciting times ahead, my first build for a long time.
Should be ready for Spring!

Thought I might as well post a picture of mine seeing as I spend my time gawping at everyone else's.

I saw the Pinarello equivalent earlier today, 4 grand in the sale, although it was Di2.

I probably spent 1,200 pounds overall on that bike so not bad really!

Happy with it so far although the tyres are not to my liking (no feel to them)

What's the weight like on these Chinese frames? What size is your frame and how much does the frame/bike weigh?

Looks good, though I would get rid of the nasty looking bottle and at least one of the bags!

My Cannondale supersix 105, apologies for the poor photo. Can't help thinking I'd have been better with a 52 rather than 54 but I enjoy riding it.

The bags dont bother me but i agree 100% on the bottle.

Having said that if i organised the saddle bag and binned some of the crap i cart about i could probably do away with the front bag.

Note to self when its raining - sort out bike bag

My Planet X RT58 with 7700 cranks Ultegra group with PX 52 clinchers.I love how the cranks contrast with the frame. This bike was an exercise in scratching an itch and so the n+1 demons have been bannished.......for now
