Ah mate that's great. Routt's were always the frames I had and I love the older ones too, even though I get they're not that old. Think you landed a good one there as they only made the Routt with thru-axles for a year or two so relatively rare. All previous ones were QR then after a short period of thru they stopped making them for some reason. Shame as they were awesome. And I'm sorry if I were the cause of you having ot buy one ;)
So mines coming together slowly.
Sorting out the fit with cheap components and then will get some nicer parts. Gruppo for now is mechanical Ultegra 8020, will most likely be upgraded to Etap 12spd in a year or so. Trying it out with 170mm cranks, will see what happens.
I deliberately bought the frameset 10-15mm smaller than I would ride with a 100mm stem to account for later age stiffening and useless joints so will be running a 110/120mm stem at this point. Will be interesting to see how it turns out.
Awaiting disc brake lockrings and shorter cranks. Will probably have a set of brand new (only fitted) Ultegra 8020 175mm for sale soon if anyone is interested.
Oh and thinking of a set of new Enve Di2 Compact bars in 42cm. If anyone has a set for sale here then hat'd be nicer otherwise I'll go new..
Bar that dissolving the alloy seattube in the Allez is posing to be a mare. Only thing I'm thankful for is a second bathroom with a proper bath to stop it blowing out and covering everything! Almost there mind..
Oh and no rush with the spacers, all very much appreciated. T

I have to admit that if I have a moots it's a bit your fault! Mine is a "simple" Routt (not 45, not RSL) from 2017.
I'm stuck here for now so a bit frustrating (saddle should be a Berthoud)

Sur, for the spacers, I will check what I have left and let you know asap.
