Nice! What is the headtube badge?
I'm currently in the process of ordering a carbonda 1056 and looking at a similar paint job with a custom headbadge.

Haha, it’s just the cable guides taped to the head tube! My friend thought I had fashioned a cat face from matches.
Current plan is to put a sparkly PBAS sticker on it.
In other news @amey - I can get the front mech low enough to retouch the 46t ring so I assume it will be fine. Although my 105 4iii just touches the seat stay on the nds.
I’m going to try and add a bb spacer to make it clear. Not sure if it’s really stupid as there will be less engagement where the crank clamps the spindle.

Starting to build up my Carbonda CF696, it arrived 3 weeks ago but I was too busy to do anything with it. Now I've bust my ribs so have some time. Di2 routing was a piece of piss compared to the Strael. Massive BB with an access panel on the bottom and delivered with all the cable guides in place.
Love the paint and have done some heli taping, but I fully expect it to get destroyed so can't be too precious. I'll find out tomorrow if @amey is right to be worried about fitting a sub compact chainset.
