• Lynskey shipped the frameset to the wrong country. The fork was defective due to an undersized fork crown. The right hand shifter had the thread for the brake hose stripped. The saddle rails wouldn't fit the seatpost. The internal Di2 wiring wouldn't work with a 30mm axle, not that Lynskey ever mentioned that in the tech specs. Those were the main issues. And building it in Switzerland, where @Cycliste uses shoes for hammers because her tool selection is so lacking, rather than my exhaustively-equipped workshop in the UK.
