Progress so far.
Really really nice metallic blue color. I'm keeping everything else black or white (mostly black), and so far I think it's working very well.
First time ever I've installed a hollowtech 2 bb and cranks. The bb was smooth sailing, but apparently i forgot to buy a special Shimano tool for the plastic pre load nut for the non drive side crank arm. Luckily my tire lever fitted right in, so i used that instead.
Since it's my first time, I'm a bit unsure if I've over tightened the pre load nut. It feels like the cranks are moving freely, but they don't keep spinning very much if I throw them around, guess I'll have to wait and see.
Other bummer is that the shop forgot to add the cable pulley for use with bottom pull front derailer with top tube cable routing, so it wont be finished the next couple of days. I hope they'll send one quickly.
