After 8 Months of Bike Commuting. Time to get serious.
After 8 months of bike commuting to work using my 2017 Specialized Sirrus Sport. I've decided to get more serious into cycling as a hobby and bought a Colnago CLX Disc 2020 105 Group Set and a Prime RR 38 V2 Carbon Wheelset and converting it to tubeless with the Conti GP 5000 TL. Pedals would be a Speedplay Zero and shoes is a Lake CX 176.
I am all new to this and just watched several YT videos how to setup and tune my bike once it arrives tomorrow. Got my tools and bike stand ready for it.

Cool. Maybe post pics of frame when you get it and of finished bike when it's done?

It is all tuned-up! I thought at first I could set it up by myself but I was wrong. It is not easy. Good thing a friend of mine helped me to tune everything. The Front Derailleur is a pain. He aligned everything, centered the disc brakes and fitted the bike for me. One thing I am having a hard time is the speedplay pedals. I really need to push down to clip in. I also panic to unmount lol. next is to set up the carbon wheels but I’ll use the stock wheels for practice atm.
