Great build! Not feeling the fork though. Seems a bit low end for this bike. A Whisky carbon fork would be much better IMHO.

Funny you say that because I considered it and had I gone Whiskey it would have been at least $100 cheaper and about 30gms heavier. Unless you go tapered the Whiskeys come with alloy steerers. Given the choice with close weights, I'll go hand made in the US whenever I can (Whiskey is just Woodman relabeled). Ride quality wise, both are familiar to me (my Ti Spicer had a Woodman) and I most definitely prefer the Wound Up.

Any particular reason for 355s?

Recommendation from local wheel builder. A bit taller side wall (vs. crest), more robust, and easier to get road tires on and off. Minimum tire size is 25c so my 32c commute and cross tires fit just fine.
