I went for black titanium
What I meant is that it seems like the derailleur is not aligned to the chainrings
Mine has a bolt that pushes against the vertical tube (onto the plate to which you hang the derailleur) that, iirc, adjusts the derailleur alignment
But I only installed 1 derailleur in all my life, maybe someone with a bit more experience can be more helpful
Looks like it's too further, is it maybe tilted with the back towards the outside?
I followed the instructions for my 105 (downloaded the manual from Shimano website) and had no particular problem with the FD
Brute force
Of course without the cables in.
With one hand I kept the housings folded down as much as I could, then I installed the stem and pushed it down as low as it would go. Once I could get it close enough it used the small screw below the last spacer to bring the stem further down, and then I tightened the top cap screw to bring it all the way down.
Once the housings take the initial bend it gets easier, then it's a matter of pushing through expecially the brake cables. For the front brake I had to open the way from the caliper end with a shifter cable first, only then I was able to push the brake cable through the bend at the stem.
Be aware that by mistake I folded the small lip inside the last spacer, the one that divides the housings between left and right side. Avoid that as there's not enough height to have it below a cable, I had to remove the stem to lift it and then install it again.
Here it is! My first bike build ever
Ceccotti RF 25 in size L, chameleon glossy paint, 7.85 kg (without pedals) x 1380 €
I've been sourcing parts from months, waiting for offers and price drops, as well as doing a lot of reading and studying, and I'm now really satisfied with how it turned out, and how much I learnt in the process.
I wasn't fast as I never did anything similar, but I had no major problems, just a few things that demanded their fair amount of time: above all sanding down the compression ring (it left a thick gap above the frame) and cleaning the bottom bracket threads from paint overspray.
