I never weighted the frame and fork. How much does it weight and what size did you choose?

It looks nice, doesn't it?

I ordered a 56, and have no scale worth using to weigh it. Not really caring too much about weight for this build really.

ZNIINO bars came in today. Look good and feel plenty strong enough. One step closer to having to pick a drivetrain.

Be careful tightening the stem cap. I cracked that handlebar with that...

Yeah, I'm already eyeing some alu bars as back ups just in case.

For the stem, just use a torque wrench and apply the proper NM and you should be fine. i find the shifters harder to torque though due the bolt placement, I usually just do those using a regular hex wrench, but I tighten them carefully.

Just pulled the trigger on the ltwoo 1x11 hydro gravel group. Turned out cheaper piece it all together myself than to buy the complete groups you see some vendors selling. And I prefer the Senicx crankset (steel axle) over the RX (alloy) the group comes with.

I updated the build list in the original post.  I can post links to any of the items if anyone wants to take a look at them.

I wouldn't mind the links to the parts you found separately, if it's not too much trouble. Or at least how much you saved compared to buying it separately

Savings came out to about $30 dollars, most of that from shipping. All the individual items (rotors, chain, crank, cassette) came with free shipping, whereas the complete group had a hefty $80-$90 shipping fee. Shipping on the mini group (shifters, rd, calipers) was only $28. I purchased it from 80 Designer Store.

Ltwoo group arrived today. Gave it a quick cat scan just to be safe.

Finally received all the bits to get this thing built! I’m having a local bike mechanic do the work and he really liked the Ltwoo group…at first glance.
Rear derailleur is working really well. Shifter is having some issues. He swapped the shifter with a dura ace one to isolate the problem and it’s definitely the shifter. Anyone had a similar problem with their Ltwoo shifter?

Bike is built. No issue other than the shifting. At this point pretty sure I have a defective shifter. Brakes seem to work great on the stand though. No issues with bleed or set up.
I’m in contact with both the Ali store I purchased the group from and the Ltwoo official store to see if I can get a replacement.

You can't say build is done without sharing pictures  ;)

Don’t have great pics at the moment. Bike is still at the shop.

Congrats for the build. I love that frame.
