looks like a solid built sheet. Using seat post and handlebar from  frame supplier? not a bad choice.
thanks for the fast response. Yes I would get the complete set from Spycle, I hope to have the least hassle.

I woukd strongly advice going wider tires. I'm on gravel since we rode 30c tires on it (yeah not kidding) and now with sp cycle I run 44c tufo thundero HD and damn those are fast. I can assure You that fat tire with low rolling resistance like tufo or conti terra speed would be faster and better then those 35/38c tires.

dit. GOOOOO TUBELESS! effetto maripossa caffelatex is my sealant of choice

Appreciate the feedback! I‘ll use the bike primarily for commute with 90% tarmac (not the best) and pavement and 10 percent gravel roads. On the weekends I want to be able to do light gravel. Would you still advise wider tires?

Yes. I do a lot of city riding on my gravel and short trainings around the city and they are mainly on hard surfaces. I got few KOMs on road with my setup. Minimum you should go is 40 really. But 45 is really killing it.

Well CSC wheels fail. One of the wheel wasn’t holding air well, couldn’t get the tire seated properly (clincher); after much faffing around, at attempt number 6 or 7, I inflated the wheel and started to hear some strange sounds, then the outter skin started bulging. Air got on the spoke hole side and delaminated the carbon I think, one wheel is good for the bin…

CSC wheels are crap. I've wrote about it some time ago, and even was attacked by a Shiller here who had like 5 posts and all about how good those wheels are lol. This was a great confirmation.

That sucks. How did you end up with the seller?
Asking cause I ordered similar one which is soon to get here...

Finally some progress, blank fitting of the syncros creston handlebar; it could be better with some more faffing around but it may just be at that good enough stage. Cut the steerer for max spacer stack height as a starting point.

Ludo did you do anything to the open gap at the front (the lowest spacer is bent upwards facing forward)?

No I haven’t, it’s barely noticeable, maybe 0.5mm if that. I am waiting to compress the headset to see how things look but I believe it would be possible to sand down the bottom spacer to make it almost flat and have everything level. I would then have to sand down further the C ring.
I am quite pleased with the results as is as I was t even sure I could make it work good enough when I bought these handlebars

He is the picture, the last spacer make everything level, doesn’t have the same shape as the others:
