Feelers... Newly built CFR-505
« on: April 24, 2020, 06:32:39 PM »
Hi guys, longtime lurker, first time poster. 

So with the help of this board, I went and built myself a Carbonda CFR505.  I had dreams of becoming a monster gravel guy.  Maybe I'd travel cross country with it.  Who knew what the future could hold for me with my new machine?  Well, I finished this build about 8 months ago and have only ridden it once!   Why?  Well, there are a couple reasons... Number one, I race cross country and when I'm endurance training on gravel roads, I'm riding a mountain bike.  Number two, when I do ride road I like riding my BMC Roadmachine.  It's not that I don't love the Carbonda.   I do!  It's a beautiful bike, I just don't have a use for it with three mountain bikes and a road bike in the garage.

Let me know your thoughts on what I should be selling this bike for.

Here's the rundown:
-  Carbonda Med CFR505
-  Roval Control Carbon 29 Wheels (Custom built with Sapim Race spokes and Roval branded DT Swiss Hubs)
-  Panaracer Gravelking SK 38mm
-  Shimano Di2 11sp with Ultegra crankset, XT Di2 derailleur, 11-36 Ultegra cassette
-  Absolute Black Oval 44t Chainring
-  Redshift Shockstop Stem
-  Easton EC70 AX Bars
-  Tioga Spyder Stratum Saddle
-  Ultegra Disc Brakes
-  Shimano Ice Tech Rotors
-  Supacaz Bar Tape

Very nice build !
Absolute black make really beautiful rings.

I'll update my CFR505 build page, as I have rebuilt it recently.

So shoot me a number guys!  I think it might be a tough sell with the custom lettering.  Better to part out??
