Collected the frame today....
And 4 hours later...
Final weight 7.6kg with bottle cages and terrible tyres, just need some nicer tyres (currently on very worn conti ultra race)
Bars are very flexy compared to what im used to dont know if this is normal with carbon bars but im scared to put any force on them, they were making a cracking noise when assembling and i was nowhere near the correct torque but only when tightening one bolt, put some grip compound on and left them just more than hand tight, they wont budge when tugged so should be okay. The stem matches great as do the cages! I had to slam the stem to get comfy though so i might consider cutting the steerer
