Hey you have good news?

I'm afraid not. ICAN says it was sent on 14 December, but the tracking only link says 'Label Created', not 'Shipped'. I've sent a few e-mails asking for status updates. The latest info I have is: 'The shipping company has submitted the documents to the customs and is now waiting for the customs to review and release.
We have 20 items in this situation, so don’t worry, the shipping company will find a solution.'

I've struggled to get a confirmation from him regarding if there's an extra hole in the steerer tube and if the frameset has been sent. He said the frame would be sent out yesterday, but I haven't received any tracking number or confirmation. Maybe he's grown tired of all my questions and e-mails. :D

Sounds good! The Spanish warehouse wouldn't deliver to Sweden but I don't really mind waiting. It's snowing here at the moment and I will have all winter to complete the build. But I will definitely post the it here.

The frame is a size 58. I was looking at the Winspace T1500 Disc, but found it too long and low compared to what I'm used to. It might've worked, but I didn't want to gamble. I did order a Winspace 50mm Hyper Disc wheelset though.

I have some parts from other bikes that will go on the A9. The Ultegra Di2 groupset was hard to find at a reasonable price, so I ended up ordering from three different stores. Everything is on backorder and most stores say it won't be back in stock until spring. I have the same groupset on my ultra-distance bike and like the idea of being able to move parts over if (when) I crash. It has saved me from off-bike time before.

I'm going to try a Shimano BB86 bottom bracket (SM-BB92-41B), but I might change it for something with threaded sleeves in case it starts creaking. Can you recommend the one you bought, Matt?

Oh, I also ordered the thru axles you have. At 71 grams they're quite a lot lighter than the stock ones (130+ grams?).

Good point! I would never drill the fork, but I guess it won't hurt to try one last time to get a confirmation. Again, thanks a lot!

I tried several times but he somehow dodged my questions  ;D

I found a video on Amazon clearly showing a hole in the steerer tube: https://www.amazon.com/ICAN-Triaero-Carbon-Frameset-Mount/dp/B086BX7JCN

I guess I will see soon :)

Thanks, Matt! Good info! It was quite the process to get Perry to agree to send me a 400x120 combo, but I will probably change it to something else before the road season starts.

I also tried getting info on whether or not there's a hole for the front brake hose in the steerer tube, but I'm guessing there is since they're sending me the HB017 and it doesn't have a hole in the top part of the stem. Did you check when putting the bike together?

Thank you carbonazza-san, Matt_C-san,

The weight
Frame : 1176g(with hangers, without TA)
Fork : 408g(uncut)
Seatpost : 270g(uncut)
Handlebars: 360g(witdh 400mm, stem length 100mm)
Headset : 153g(without spacers)
Fron TA : 64g
Rear TA : 75g

The TA has a lever, which I thought would be a disadvantage in terms of aerodynamics, so I changed to a flat type.
The flat TA was approx 40g.

Nice work on the bike! I just ordered one and am going to build it up with the latest Ultegra Di2. It looks like I'm getting a different handlebar/stem combo though, the HB017.

I'm also  wondering which TAs you got for your frame. Which length and tread pitch?
