I've just bought an Xbox one X so I can play minecraft/forza etc with my Son online. It will either be a great purchase or one I come to regret. I will feel kind of stupid playing online with someone in the next room but he makes effort to enjoy my hobbies with me. Upside is I got a bundle with RDR2 and I'm running out of space on my PS4 Pro anyway.

I've got a set of look blade carbon with the cromo axle. Seems to work for me and only £79.99 here.

I have some "umami" paste in my cupboard, maybe I could have a play around with that.

I'll take some more pictures in a few days when the weather cheers up. Still needs a 4mm spacer instead of the 2mm in the headset and I'm waiting on the mudguards to turn up. A few changes from the build list above. Ended up going with some Vittoria Corsa g+ instead of the challenge Paris-Roubaix as they came up 29mm not 27 and I won't clear the brake with mudguards.
Photo is just from my phone, I'll crack out my wifes DSLR in a few days.

Was doing the last few things with my parts ready for the frame tomorrow and heard a knock at the door. Parcelforce for some reason decided they're delivering on a Sunday today, guess it's because it's close to christmas. Anyway, I've now got the frame.
The colour is lighter than I thought it would be but it's good enough. The fork wasn't cut to the right length, around 1-2mm out I would say. This means that I can build it up but can't ride it until I get the spacer and pop it in. Balls.

They've been fine.
I emailed them with some questions around the 2nd and had no reply, still haven't.
Rang them up on the 9th enquiring if the could do the frame with a fork crown I wanted instead of the standard and a few other things. I was told they could so went online and placed my order.
Later that day I got a phone call from Donald asking a few questions on my spec/colour choice. I got cold feet on the colour at the last second so asked if a note could be put on my job card until I decided. A few days later I rang them up to confirm what I wanted. Was told that the wait is 4-5 weeks but they aren't that busy at the moment.
3 Weeks later (yesterday) I got an email around midday saying it will be shipped the following day (today) and would be with me on Monday. I asked if I could have a picture but was told it was packed already. I then asked if I could pay extra to get it delivered on Saturday and was told they don't have that option with the contract with the courier.
Hopefully it will all turn out fine. The main thing I'm worried about is that I requested the fork steerer to be cut to length to fit a dura ace 7410 headset. I told them the stack height and the headset model, I guess they know what they're doing so I shouldn't worry.
I've got a space Forza horizon 4 CD key if anyone wants to buy it. looking for £15. Can either take a picture of the card and send you it or just give you the key. It came with my Xbox one X.
