                                    Delivery 4 One disc rotor and a clamp to convert a braze on front derailleur to a clamp. I didn’t realise I was only buying one disc rotor. I thought it was a pair 🤔 #mikebuildsabike

                                  Got it home and out the box. Just propped up as an example. Going to be sweet! #mikebuildsabike

                                Just getting everything laid out and counted for the build on Sunday. This is everything (except the tubes/tyres, pedals and second brake rotor). Am I missing anything? #mikebuildsabike

                            Balls!! @planetxbikes have different pictures on the site to the frame they sent and so it’s not compatible with my build. Got to send it back. 😢 #mikebuildsabike

                          And we are back in the game. Massive thanks to @The_Kraken for sanity checking the frame and helping me work out I can still use it! @HuntBikeWheels are sending a thru axel adapter for the wheel 👍 #mikebuildsabike

                        Got the bottom bracket on, seatpost and chain set in. Build now on hold until I change my flat mount disc calipers for post mount! #mikebuildsabike

                    Delivery ….. 7? Post mount (instead of flat mount) hydraulic disc brakes (the right ones) #mikebuildsabike

                  Oh, and a medium caged rear mech, which is apparently what you need when you decide to run an 11-32 rear cassette #mikebuildsabike

                Forks, handlebars and wheels on! Starting to like the look of this bike 😀 Scary cutting the carbon forks but seemed to get it right. Next step - brakes and gears! #mikebuildsabike

              Last couple of days I’ve got the disc brakes and rear derailleur connected. Going to get my local bike shop to shorten and neaten the cables though #mikebuildsabike

        The results are in. Rode this beauty on Sunday and it’s great. Total build cost: Just a smidge over £1900. Reilly cycles just released a bike of the same spec for £2900 I think I’m winning. #mikebuildsabike

    With the help of my dad’s luggage weighing machine (and a yoga strap), I finally got round to weighing my bike. 9.56kg. Not bad for a hydraulic disc brake wielding machine. #mikebuildsabike
