Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Looking for advice on choosing a frame

I would recommend a t800 carbon or better grade like a t1000, I was going to mention the new t1000 S5 look alike on AliExpress, but it's aero style and high in price

After ending up buying some more tools, finished the build. Doing final adjustments, need a shock pump, plus waiting on some rim tape, have the Tubes in, but could pop with spoke holes.  Total weight 10.18kg.  Rides great!!  Fast!  Pic coming soon

Received the wheels yesterday! Have all the parts, just don't know when I'll get the bike built. I put the wheel weight in build list.

Fork, Shimano groupset + brakes are heavy. That's why you are not sub-10kg. Tubeless is a must as well, gain in weight and comfort.
But with such light wheels the bike should be pretty fast and dynamic despite the total weight.
Yeah it should ride great, might consider tubeless on next set of tires.

Seems a bit high...but not out of the norm for larger shops.
I'm thinking they charge for a hour at a time, no 30 min or 15 minute increments

So I made it to LBS today got the headset installed, BB, and crank. Took him no more than 25 minutes, and cost me $65! Didn't know it cost so much! The manager said it was right amount. Could have bought the tools and installed myself for cheaper.  Well now I don't have enough $ for some new mtb shoes to go with my crank brothers. Oh well, guess I'll save up some more

I also ordered some Stickers from Doityourselflettering.com, I'm hoping it turns out looking good!  Still trying to find time for visit to LBS, to get a full crown race, and maybe cut the fork (its flush with top). Probably have them install BB, I don't have the tool

I ordered the Lizard skins clear stick on type, comes with two frame patches. Think I'll purchase some packing tape for areas like shoe rub, cable rub, and bottom of down tube.

Yeah was thinking it could slap. Now I'm thinking two layers of packing tape not enough. But I've seen some thicker tapes, they are just expensive.

I used color matched electrical tape  8)

With a clutch derailer, it's not as critical to have stuff all over the chainstay.  I rode with a buddy Saturday who has an older bike, and I swear I could hear his chain slapping from 30 feet away.
Oh lol. So your saying with the new XT Derailleur it may not have much chain slap if any?  Maybe I could put some clear protective tape just to be safe.
