Is there a mount for a bike computer on the bike? Am I seeing it correctly? And is it attached to the stem? Could I ask what kind of mount it is?

It’s a Deda Superbox + Deda Superbox Garmin mount. It’s clamped between stem and handlebar.

Exactly. I just like the look of equally sized rotors better. The adapter is just so it fits, I would go two times 160mm.

I already have two 160mm SRAM rotors at home...for the rear caliper so do I need to get an adapter to use 160mm rotors?
If so, is it better to buy a 140mm rotor or the adapter? What do you recommend?
I've never used disc brakes on a road bike before.
Thanks

Dada stem & handlebar aluminium or carbon? Can you send more photos how looks that set?

I attached some more photos, maybe they help :-) It's both aluminium as she wants to use the handlebars with clamp-on TT bars. The frame didn't come with painting around the headset area, so as SpCycle seems to use a 57mm top cap and Deda (and all others) 56 mm top cap, I had to put some white nail polish to get a got coverage and look.

How did you solve headset play?

Put some microspacers between the compression ring and top cap. Still the steering won't get rough no matter how much preload I put on, but the headset play disappeared.

Can you link to disc breake rotors?

These are the 160mm Shimano RT-CL900. Just like them better than the Shimano 105 level ones. If you take 160mm brake rotors, you will need to put an adapter at the back for compatibility.

Also finally finished the build for my girlfriend’s sister (Size 52cm for 173cm height, 81.5 cm inseam). She’s super happy, the bike feels responsive and the build up was almost hassle free (except for getting the headset play right).

Stem: Deda Superbox 90mm
Handlebars: Deda Zero2 400mm
Wheels: XM Carbon Speed D50CU 28-21 with GP5000
Shimano 105 Di2 Groupset

Everything together roughly under 7.6kg.

Had the same thoughts with the bearing. But installed and with preload it looks like it should.

Only thing I‘m not 100% sure about is preload. No matter how much I tighten the Ahead-Cap-Bolt, the steering won’t get rough. But I feel that everything gets nicely compressed as it should. Maybe it should be that way, just not used to it from other bikes 🤷🏼

Yup, I had the same issue with my 105 FD. Even with the support screw backed all the way out, it installed with some toe-in and I couldn't pivot it outwards on the mount. I haven't come up with a fix yet, but it does shift fine without chain rub after I gave the FD adjustment extra attention.

Same here. Did you guys installed the little silver metal protector? When I tried it without it and just a slim frame protector piece, the FD aligned nicely

How does it look with fork installed?

Hey guys. Just building up my bike and not sure about the frame design. Website says "Flat Mount Disc Brake, 140 or 160mm rotor", so does it mean I would need a flatmount adapter + longer C screw to correctly get a 160mm disc to work in the back?

Thanks in advance,
Jonas
