Judgement day with The Judge

Yes! finally the whole bike is being setup!

Some good points for setting up this bike:
  1. Nice colour and parts combination.
  2. Suits my little brother haha!
  3. Parts gotten are still pretty high-end; Deity handlebar and stem, Thomson seatpost, white Magura brakes, Identiti frame

Some mistakes i made for setting up this bike:
  1. Wheelset is too heavy, got to get another lighter wheelset.
  2. Sram grip shifter took up too much cockpit space, so changed back to trigger. In the end, the groupset for the bike had changed to Deore
  3. Crank is a big mistake, had to check the compatibility for the BB before bidding it. In the end, got a BB which is long enough, but have free-play between crank and BB
  4. Setting up of bike should go start to bikeshop in the future instead of going to Fandi as shop is able to source and provide parts at cheaper rate while Fandi service bike at lower cost
  5. Spend too much money into getting the bike serviceable.
  6. Exceeded the overall budget
Happy but poor man
