Top cap was the issue, solved with some creative solution

I bought frameset on official spcycle website.

I have frame and almost all parts ready (90%), but need time to build it

Painting is not perfect, but not bad as well.

For this money - it will be nice Aeroad clone

So I finally got my first 300km in, and I love the bike, it's nice and fast & light and got good tire clearance. Got it mostly for the tire clearance, then decided I wanted to make it light on a budget aswell. Building it was a little bit difficult, mostly the brake hoses & headset stuff I found really difficult. But it rides well, and I trust it now.

Here is a parts list with prices & weights (if no price it was included with the parts above):
Frame LTK266D SL Ice crack blue €930   950g
Fork LTK266D SL      344g

stans 40ml front 50ml rear 90g
cyclami valves   €5   12g

Weight 6.8-6.9kg

Frame was a bit heavier than expected, but it's still good for XXL size and custom paint. Will upgrade the pedals to faveros as soon as I get road shoes. Tested on a bit of gravel already and is faster on cat1 gravel than my gravelbike. 46-30 was a bit too difficult for my local climbs, might have to get a 10-33, was planning on upgrading to Red anyway. All in all I'm pretty happy, similar spec as 8 grand bikes in the bike shop, for about €2700.
