Figured I'd toss a small update on how it's going with my LTK.
About 1000 miles in, just completed a Century 100mi Ride with 6700ft of elevation, the LTK has had 0 issues and is a dream to ride. Very happy with my build and this purchase.

Hello,

I've been riding with the OEM-provided bearings for a while now with no apparent issues. The bike has been a joy to ride.

I recently decided to switch up my handlebar setup and figured it'd be a good time to upgrade the bearings as well. Based on the comments in this thread, I believe this is the correct FSA model to use as a replacement:

Could anyone who has bought the FSA bearing confirm that this is the correct one?

TIA!

Yes this is the one I used.

That looks really great Andy, you did a lovely job! How are you finding the grip on those bottle cages?

They're solid and very lightweight. I did order panda's aero bottles but at this point I'm not sure if they'll show up. 

Just some better pictures

Had my first ride on the build today, feels so good coming from a old rim brake Giant Defy. Haven't cut the steerer yet, probably will after a few hundred miles. Seatpost was cut about 4cm

Hi all, I placed an order for a LTK266 last week. The quoted delivery time is 35 days. Does anyone have current experience if that is accurate?

19 Days from date I paid to delivered (I'm in West United States)

My small frame arrived. Everything looks quite good, smooth seatpost area with no valleys or "cracks"

My only real complaint so far is the Ritchey saddle clamp, wow it's terrible. I'll probably replace it with a real ritchey one. Kind of want to see if a defy seatpost will fit the frame, if I ever see someone riding one on a group ride I'll ask.

Still waiting for the frame to ship.  I'm also a little confused on the headset stuff. I've ordered the FSA 55R and will order a cockpit after my fit on Friday.

Have we found any different compatible seatposts?

Cosmo and Wanda ain't slick

I'm tempted but in the middle of another build.

Has anyone got a recommendation on how to mount the Di2 Battery into the seatpost? I´ve read there is someone who has made a 3D printable file for a holder but i couldn´t find any information about it. I would appreciate any tips or diy solutions

I design and print a lot so once mine arrives (and I fully decide on di2) I'll give it a shot and post the STL here for free.

Just ordered my frame, very excited. Small Black UD Matte. 
Now to decide on the rest of the build

Good to hear! I think I'll be ordering this frame as well.
Have you picked a BB to use yet?

Mount the thru axles and see if there's any play.

Hi just wanted to have a quick check in on this frame.
Where are you ordering through and what's final price looking like?
