So, two weeks in and other than some weird wheel/light niggles that are no fault of Matt's, this is everything I had hoped it would be and more. For those that care, here's a build list:
Talbot Frameworks TIG 853/MAX Frame.
Parlee Gravel Flat Mount Fork
Fizik R1 Alloy Stem
Fizik R3 Alloy Chameleon Bars
Fizik R3 Alloy Seatpost
Hope Seat Post Clamp
Brooks C15 Carved
32h HED Belgium+ Disc Rims
Front 32h Schmidt SON Delux 12 Thru Axle CentreLock Dynamo Hub
Rear 32h CentreLock Hope Pro 4
Shimano ST-R785 Shifters
Shimano BR-RS805 Flat Mount Calipers
Shimano SM-RT99 Rotors
Shimano 6870 derailleurs
Shimano 6800 Cranks/Chain/Cassette
Shimano 105 Pedals
PDW Black City Mudguards
Schmidt SON Edelux II Light Black
Schmidt SON Rear Light Black/Clear
Only thing I may change is the handlebars, purely on a fit basis. The fit data @scherrit drew up for me was with bars that were 10mm shorter in reach than these, so it is perhaps a tiny bit longer than I'd like. The length of ST-R785's is not helping matters either. Unfortunately Fizik don't make 75mm reach bars, so I may have to swap out all of the finishing kit.. cause obvs it has to all match. The bike in general is mega comfy, but also very stiff when you want it to be and is also fast.
Thanks again @coldharbour - couldn't be better.
