I've ordered my frame with the fluo pink yellow purple color this morning and will build it with Campagnolo sureper Record 12spd.
Regarding the seatpost, does S offers a seatpost with 0° offset or can you turn the seatpost?
I've found a picture of the bike of Nikki Terpstra where the seatpost was facing forward.

So my carbon downtube cover arrived. Really nice, lacquered carbon weave, just seems more 'right' than an aluminium one on a carbon bike.

I don't have my scales with me right now, but I reckon it's 2g versus 4g.

If anyone's interested, let me know.

That's an extremely nice build, good health to enjoy! Is that the 20mm headset cover supplied with the frame? I opted to use a FSA 15mm cover with a 5mm spacer on my Sagan SL6 but the 20mm cover looks good on yours so I might change. Is that a 100mm or 110mm SL stem you're using? Ta

You cannot turn the seatpost. Zero offset posts are available in 2 different lengths (320mm and 380mm?). I don't have the part numbers, but they are someplace earlier in this massive topic. Sounds like a unique build with the color/Campy combo. :thumbup:

Specialized original seatpost with 0° offset - https://www.amaincycling.com/specialize ... 05/p744744

But ... I rode it and it is very uncomfortable :(

Is there any reason to use a GXP crank instead of BB30?

If you have bad BB shell alignment then using a thread together GXP adapter could fix this and force the bearings into parallel alignment.
