VeloBuild VB-R-268 frame

Urg, still waiting for mine as well. Not a good outlook ...
Might have to get the SL7 clamps, too, as my arse is getting sore.

I also had the headset coming loose. I put some lock tite on but it seems to still get loose. Did you find a more permanent solution for this or are you just re-tightening after every ride?

what exactly get's loose? once you preload the bearing and clamp the stem it  should hold even without the top cap.
An issue I've had with different bikes is incorrectly "expanded" expander plug. sometimes it expands only on one side which creates very little friction even though it seems like the plug is tight.
What I now do with every build is lightly grease the "cones" on the plug and pre-expand it so that it just fits inside the steering tube and only then install it.

I didn't have any headaches with the build, but you might consider buying af longer headset extender plug.  Cable routing was inproblematic and facing of the brake caliber mounting to the frame seems good as well. Remember to buy rubber grommets for the cable exit ports as they are not included.

Sine I ordered mine in orange-blue-fade yesterday, what gromets are needed for a Di2 build?

I bought these for the rear Di2-cable, they fit nicely. I didn't find some that fit perfectly for the front derailleur Di2-cable.
