New bike day, and first build experience

Lynskey shipped my GR300 frameset today. The rest of the parts have been trickling in over the last couple weeks. Excited to begin the build phase!
I’ll build it with SRAM Rival AXS, but the crankset is Force. 1x 40t chainring, and a 10-44 cassette. Whisky stem and bars (alloy), Fizik Terra Argo saddle, Lynskey Ti seatpost, BTLOS carbon wheelset with Specialized Pathfinder Pro tires (700 x 42mm).

Congrats! Building a bike is so much fun. Expect a few bumps in compatibility/fit for a first build along the way. But if you have chosen components wisely, they will be at a minimum and not show stoppers.

Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

That looks like it'll be too nice to ride. Hopefully you won't let that stop you.

Best wishes for many miles of joy.
