I cut mine to fit the TRP brake handles so mine are shorter..I don´t remember how much but 4/5cm.
Never had any creaking sound

Thanks for the tip!
I actually shortened my handlebars right away because the reach was quite long—I'm a rather small guy, weighing 64 kg.
So, that 64 kg shouldn't be an issue.

Which bolts did you tighten first?
The reason I ask is that my top cap sits 3 mm recessed relative to my stem.

Hello everyone!
I wondered if the official Trek speedconcept aero bottle would fit in the frame? (Size L)
I have seen the 3d printet toolbox, for uci time trial a aero bottle would be the only legal option tho...

I literally put a photo of this a few posts ago.
Doesn´t hurt to investigate a little.

Really glad you liked the design! Not offended at all. Unfortunately, i only got the "Marlboro" painted, all other logos are decals I added after, which is a pain as they are very thin and easily get damaged. Good to see you upgraded yours.

For the fairing, I got a new baseplate machined, the design @mattgolt shared. i think that plate would help as a point where you could secure the fairing + a riser for a BTA/garmin mount.

Yes, got Chris from Velobuild to help desing it. I shared the SVG files of the logos and the positions I wanted, and got quoted a prices considering this. As 05jaime mentioned, I believe Chris prints a decal that is pasted ontop of the paint before the final coat.
