Well, the spec of my bike has been thoroughly shown up by those of @venntim and @Halcro but never mind, I don't have the money I don't have.
Started properly building this up today and faced a couple of setbacks.
Installed the headset cups successfully, but then when I went to screw on the top bit, it wouldn't go far enough and the fork was still loose in the frame. Does this mean I need a headset with a bigger stack height?
It seemed like if I could have screwed that bit on further (I couldn't), then, with a few spacers, the top screwy bit would have gone on and it would have been fine.
Can anyone give me any advice on this?
This is the headset I bought for reference:

(Stack height: 34mm)
Also, seatpost bolt snapped, that was annoying.
