And here it is. 2 curve balls thrown at us during the build:
The jagwire end caps are not sized to older frames so we had to bodge it and file down 0.5mm from the OD of 2 endcaps to fit them at the headtube
And the rear brake's mounting studs were lower than expected, so even in the top position in the Paul Minimoto brakes the pads were on the bottom half of the brake track. We could juuust make it work with some long spacers on the brake pads. They are definitely not paralell, but still got insanely good stopping power. And, well, with time they'll wear paralell lol.
On the upside, the enve bartape was the nicest I ever worked with, shame I had to put gel inserts under it.
Approximately 50 seconds after I've taken these pictures I adjusted the saddle. Might cut the RD cable housing shorter.
