Wheelset: DT Swiss P1800, front derailleur, rear derailleur, brakes and crankset (52/36 175mm) are all R7000, shifters/levers and cassette (11-32) are R8000, bottom bracket and chain are R9000, stem and seatpost are Zipp Service Course, Chris King headset and Continental GP 5000 28mm tires. I did the paint job and decal application, color is Candy Deep Red with silver metallic base coat. I could not be happier with the project!
Love the color and the black components are fantastic.
...if you end up wanting to move away from the threadless stem adapter, look into an innicycle headset. It was designed by a forum member and is high quality. 100% equal in actual quality to the CK headset on there now.

Anyways, really nice work.
