AMEN TO ALL OF THIS!!!! Finished my build a little over a month ago. On my maiden voyage, I made it about .5 miles when my seatpost slid in all the way down into the frame. SO pissed. After ordering some Park Tools carbon paste and a torque wrench...no more worries. Since I've gotten past that setback...pure fun. I can hammer this thing to death and all it does is respond. I'm 215, btw.
