I know from an engineering point of view you want this perfect so it performs great, but if you had it built up by now the training time you could have got in would far surpass having a perfect build? If you have another training bike fair enough.
Don't get me wrong I love precision engineering (I come from a motor racing family) but I just think there is more to cycling. With racing cars they will always perform exactly the same (or near enough) but with cycling you've got so many variables as you are the engine. If you've not had enough sleep, under stress, poor diet etc these will all be contributing factors to how you perform. Are you taking these into account or just building something perfect just for the sake of having it perfect?
Not trolling or trying to be a nob, just curios.
