Could you tell me what are your (approximate) brake cable lengths in your build(s) ? Got really nice offer on R1's and I'm wondering if 65/156 cm front/rear will be enough.
Sorry, I missed this question. Do you still need the lengths? I can measure them today if you do.
How is your headset holding up? I also had some "movement trouble" on the top bearing.
Headset is holding up great. No issues that I can detect. It worked itself ever so slightly loose the other day, but a quick loosening of the stem and tightening of the top bolt corrected everything. I also had a fall on the trail and rotated the handlebars inline with the front wheel so I had to fix it by the side if the trail, that's probably why it worked it's way loose.
Vipassana: Great builds. Loving the blue/orange one and the glossy/matt-back best!
Do you have more pictures of the glossy/matt black bike? Loving the look and thinking about stealing it 
Other side of the world (Netherlands), so I recon the owner won't mind
Gonna get the same fork as you got (xmi carbon). Guess glossy outside and matt inside would look best on the glossy/matt frame (glossy what is blue on your fork). Agree?
I'm sorry, but I actually don't have anymore pictures if the gloss/matte black frame. At least bit clean, close-up photos. I can tell you that the effect is very subtle, hardly noticeable, but still nice. I ink mate on the inside of the fork would be good as the gloss paint, without some form of protection will scratch and chip as sand and rocks hit it from the tires. My matte paint is holding up incredibly well actually. The red and blue gloss bike is holding up extremely well too, but that was a professional paint job using automotive grade paints and clear coats.
The best thing I can recommend, no matter what paint you choose is to buy some of the protective, thick, vinyl tape. That stuff has saved our paint from damage countless times. Do the bottom of the down tube, inside if the chain and seat stays, seat post where your bad sits, handlebars where your computer/light sits, etc. Well with the money. Just remember, the tape is glossy and will make matte paint appear glossy. It isn't very obvious though.
