Curious to read about your experiences. I have a Power at the moment and looking to go for a mirror version.

A heavy seatpost. The post has not yet arrived, but I believe it is over 300 grams.
Most of the nice seatposts are currently not available, so I decided to get a temporary, cheap (30 EUR) post instead to be able to continue my bike build. The aluminium seatpost is good enough for clamping to the Park Tool stand during the build. And if the availability of the bike parts remains this bad, I may perhaps even ride it some day.
Edit: the seatpost arrived, the weight is "only" 280 grams.

Is it ok to call a tyre sexy? I weighed one and it was 298g.

Hope you have better luck than I did with my Race version of that tyre. Tread started peeling from the carcass within 2 rides, multiple places, front and rear.
The Race model, I was surprised to learn, is made in China.
At the point of buying these tyres head said GP5KTL but heart said Challenge! They remind me of various Italian tyres I had in the 90s and 00s which looked lovely, rode beautifully, punctured at the first drop of rain, and which I've avoided ever since. So yes, I too am hoping for better luck this time.

Awesome bike, but would love to see a build thread with weights and ride report. Please?

Ordered the Crown Roller last weekend and it only took a couple of days to arrive. Did a few rides and it's very smooth while giving you a tiny bit of a centering effect. The counterintuitive crown shape actually encourages the wheels to center and the precisely machined rollers spin very quietly.

Lucked upon a brand new, never been installed set of DA9000 pedals off FB Marketplace (good thing the seller lived a few mins from where i stayed!):
Price was slightly cheaper than what i paid for my existing set more than 5 yrs ago. Seller even gave me an extra pair of unused yellow cleats for free!
