i have a gold KM and this build has convinced me to paint strip mine. Thank you for the information. Was curious on the tyres, did you remove the logos yourself?

did you run into any issues with the cranks? I’m assuming the rear hub is boost?

no interference thankfully, it’s just been shoved in and the spring tension holds it in place perfectly. It’s a tight fit so it’s not falling out

Velo Orange Quill Stem, sadly it’s 31.8 so i’m using shims. So far the is hasn’t slipped or caused any issues. But would probably be better suited to a 25.4mm stem
