Has anyone built this up without the integrated handle bar?

Looking at a bike that would still be a solid racer, not a endurance type geometry. Can anyone chime in?

I'm building mine up without the integrated handle bars.

Someone also built there's up without the integrated. It was posted earlier in this thread. https://www.pedalroom.com/bike/carbonda-fm1056-45373

I've bought Robert axle project axles
172mm and 120mm
Perfect fit.

What thread pitch?

Mine were 1.5.

Thread Pitch: 1.5 mm
Axle Length: 172 mm
Use: spare axle (rear 12 x 148 mm)
Manufacturer Part Number: LIG604

So, after the first few rides and tinkering a bit with setup, brakes etc I'm Really happy with the bike. It rides really well, handles nicely and predictably and is comfy for long rides (3h +).
In direct comparison with my other bike it takes slightly more effort to keep up higher pace. I wonder if I'd notice if I would not have been able to ride the bikes back-to-back.
It also "feels" slightly slower generally but I think that's due to the different tyres, where I ride this bike on vittoria corsa controls at 29mm wam (5 bar ~70 psi). The other bike is rim brake and I use pirelli race 27mm wam (5.4 bar, ~80 psi) . Power wise it's not noticeably different at anything other then the above mentioned higher pace. Maybe the extra 0.5kg also matters slightly.

The build is a mix of GRX and Ultegra components, due to availability and cost as well as preference for hood shape, ergo wave braking and (now it finally functions) the clutch on the rear derailleur for the "light gravel" round I intend to ride too.
I routed the shifter cables outside to prevent shifting issues (it shifts better then my other mech shifting bike where everything runs internally).

Main components:
1056 frame (58) and 1036 handlebar (11x42cm).
Grx 810 shifters, hydro brakes and rear derailleur.
Ultegra 50-34 crank175mm, 11-32 cassette, Rd8000 front derailleur and hg701 chain.
Ultegra pedals.
Farsports Feder 45mm, 28mm outside 21 inside on carbon ti hub, brass nipples and cx sprint drive side spokes (unbelievably light combination), vittoria corsa control 28mm, latex tube.
Xtr rotors 160mm front and rear

Small parts:
Sq labs active 612 14cm
Close the gap garmin mount + bell
ZTTO handlebar tape (very much like lizardskin, recommended!)
Tacx bottle holders
Bontrager flare light

Total weight 8.3kg


Issues while building :
The front cable guide  , with the new guides in the house I'll replace it with a proper one as soon as I feel like swapping the front derailleur cable.
The rear axle drive side "holder" was tight. Replaced it with one of the spares and problem solved.
The lower screw of the front brake caliper is quite tight, I guess some resin left over, it works and holds well however it was not super easy to get the caliper in perfect position.
And I forgot to add cable foam on the rear hydro brake cable  brakes are super tight now so I don't feel undoing "just because".

Left to do:
Find rubber grommet for the hydro hose entry point on the front left, which I don't use. Anyone know a fitting one?
Decide whether I want to go down another 5mm or keep it like this.

Use: spare axle (rear 12 x 148 mm)

Thanks, guys.

I don't know what the above means. Is your rear axle 148 or 172?

Axle 172mm

I guess I don't need to know what "Use: spare axle (rear 12 x 148 mm)" means. 

My frame is out for delivery as I type this.

It's a copy paste from the shop, bike components, website.

My frame arrived and I have no complaints after an initial inspection. The only error They made was sending me plain round headset spacers instead of the proper spacers for the integrated headset. I wonder if they'll correct the error. This could just push me to buy the FSA ACR headset and spacers.

Nice, I would suggest to get the fsa headset and spacers. The bearings are nicer and the spacers fit better too.

And hopefully, they'll be available sooner too 

Yeah, I should go ahead and buy the headset and keep checking on the spacers. I'll be happier in the long run.

Do the FSA and carbonda spacers play nice together?

If I had Carbonda spacers, I could tell you...when FSA spacers exist again.
