Are you sure with this bearings? They have internal angle of 36 degrees. On the top it depends but on the fork side it schould be 45 or i am missing something?

I am actually not sure which bearings i used, could be that i used the ones that came with the frame, the only thing you actually need is the FSA C-Ring and the FSA Top Cover. If you can get only these parts seperately this also might be cheaper..

Beautiful. Do you have any other photos? I want to get it too and I was undecided about the color, whether it's like yours or Chamaleong purple matte.

Only this one, weather is pretty mid right now. It definetly shines in the sun and varies in colour, i have the matte metallic finish. Looks awesome but also you can see every drop of dirt or dried fluid on there.

Hello from my side,

After reading and benefiting from all the insights here, I can now post a short middle-term review. Overall, I am super pleased with the bike and the build.

Here are the specs:

Size: 54 metallic frame (I believe it’s colour 3)
Seatpost: Zero offset
Headset/Stem: Fully integrated FSA Headset and SMR Stem
Handlebar: Balugoe, 36.5cm wide
Shifters: 105 Di2
Derailleurs: Ultegra Di2 rear and front
Cranks: Magene PES P505 Powermeter, 165mm
Chainrings: Spécialités TA
Cassette: ZTTO 11-34
Wheelset: Tagoola Aeroraptor (60mm deep, 23mm internal, UD-Satin finish, 5mm bladed carbon spokes, 1260g)
Tires: Continental GP5000 S TR, 30mm
Saddle: Fizik

The bike just fits like a glove and rides super well. I was skeptical if the wheels would be problematic in crosswinds, but so far they perform better than expected. The communication and build process went without any problems.
I love that so many details are now standardized: UDH, BSA BB, and the headset. I first installed a Kocevlo integrated handlebar but felt it was too soft; I believe most of the movement came from the top headset cover. After switching to the FSA headset/stem combination, it felt totally different. I now have much more confidence in the bike and the build.

Super happy with the bike, the only problem is that I genuinely don't know what to upgrade now!

While we are at it, which computer mount (in my case Wahoo) do you use on that bar? The generic flat 2-bolt mounts are directed more upwards than level, which annoys me. Did someone find a neat fitting mount?

Looks Awesome! which size did you get ? I am currently undecided between an S and an M and try to figure out which is visually more appealing to me..
