those are light and those aren't even the full R1s(notice RX on caliper) - full R1s are at 180ish and R1 racing closer to 150
Looking forward to pictures of your build.

They are a mix: rx caliper and lever r1. They work fine, maybe too much!
I came from Hygia Usagi, but these are a different planet ..

Final weight: 9,5kg  I can still go down

notes:
The headset Iplay, it seems not work well: it moves. It takes a thickness in the upper part, which was not included in the package.

Crank: I custumed my XTR970 in single ring.
To improve the chain line, I removed the shims inner chainring side.
I think it is fine, but you will need later to buy a crank monoring native

I had the same issue with the headset.  I had an extra spacer from another headset, that I installed above the wedge washer, below the top cap.  With that it tightened up properly, but leaves a space for dirt to get in under the rubber seal on the top cap.

I will live with this until it dies and replace with better quality then.

Any suggestions on a decent quality / well fitting headset? or how to go about figuring out what will fit?

Cheers,

Mike

Nice looking build.  Seat stays look so thin makes me nervous.   Can you update us with a ride review?
thanks

Interesting seat choice...don't think I've seen that used....will be interesting to hear your thoughts on it.
