Went to polish and wax, but realized I left it in another car in storage.  Ugggg.  Have to pick some up to "finish" the edges of the paint, clean up some clear coat overspray, etc.   After I polish and wax, Ill probably have one of my professional photographer friends take a few pics.  Tight schedule though, cause I want to build it ASAP so I can ride it next weekend.

Have everything except a stem and carbon paste.

Me too!!!   Painter called this morning, it's all done, but I can't get down there till Wednesday.    Tomorrow is going to be a long anxious day...

Scratch that, quick cell phone photos to come soon.  I went and picked it up just now, regular camera battery is dead.

Today was really like Christmas!!!!!!  The rest of the parts arrived, well, all except a stem and spacers (Peter said he'd send spacer, but didn't, oh well)

Everything looks great.  There was a tiny nick on the bottom side of the down tube.  A little bummed about that, but I'm sure once I get riding there will be more, so not worried about it.  I am a little disappointed in some of the weights, especially the wheel set, but I have no doubt that it will be strong!

Now for some pictures.

Some 3k gloss!



Weave blends to UD near the BB and a few other spots.  I kind of like it, looks cool.



Weave on the fork blends to UD too.



Wheels look good!



Rear came in at 1020, with Novatec 881 Hub, with 32 holes, with 35 mm Hookless rim.



Front came in at 826 with Novatec 882, again with 32 holes and 35 mm hookless rim.



Got the wheels built up tonight, man the way the XX1 cassette mounts is weird.  Not very straight forward the first time to ensure that everything lines up correctly, only took about 5 times getting it halfway together and not feeling right.  (that's why I'm posting at 12:30)

Anyway, here's the built up front.  Had to do the tube in the tire to seat one side before going tubeless.

Everything is through customs and departed USPS facility.  With any luck Ill have it tomorrow.

Tracking shows "Handed over to US Customs" yesterday. I guess I could see it as soon as tomorrow, but probably Tuesday.

A few more goodies showed up today.

Rotors, BB, Seat, tire sealant.

Front rotor 180mm Hope, they are actually red, but look a little pinkish in this light.  158g  about 12g over what I thought.



Rear Rotor  160mm Hope  105g, about 13 g over what I thought.  I'll have to weight the bolts, I'm guessing they come to about 12g.



SRAM BB 111g, 8g less than planned



Ergon SM3 Pro  251g, about 6g over advertised.




And some Sealant, stems and rim tape.



Frame, Fork, wheels, etc should be showing up next week.  Frame will go to painter, then build will probably be another week or two out due to schedule.  But we'll see.

I'm in the same boat, almost literally, my tracking numbers arrived on Monday.  I forget the exact page, but I used an alternate site t OK run the tracking info.  While it just pulls from the EMS, it also links a map from google maps, so you can see where it is.  Being inSan Diego, I'm expecting to see my stuff early next week.

Haven't used them in 20 years myself, but I'm giving them a try on my in progress build. 

So no good insight from me....
