Carbonda Cfr 1056

[Aesch]

Frame arrived today! Like Chrismas and Easter at the same day :-)
I quickly had a look: from a 1st glance I could not identify something like a cable stop in the bottom guide. Rather it looks/feels like I can run the outer cable around the BB upwards to the point where the cable exits the frame. @ Aesch, or did you mean that? Btw. what is meant by "those long-rip stops"?
I'll try to make a picture; says usually more than 1000 words.

So for me the outside cable runs up to / into the bottom guide where it stops in this (attached picture). The cable itself runs upwards to the derailleur.

Katie just sent me the photo. I went matte RAL 2012 it looks rad. I'm stoked.

That looks good. When did you place your order?

I ordered August 8th but I chose the slower shipping so I think I got bumped to the back of the line

August 10th it's an XL so it was in stock so that helped as well. She said shipping in 3 days.

I ordered an in-stock medium the following day. I imagine mine will take a bit longer because I'm getting two paint colors that require masking, and a clear coat.

Got it. After a closer look today by removing the bottom bracket guide I saw that the outer cable stops there. I was confused by the liner running through the guide upwards through the hole. Now it's crystal clear :-)

Nice! Care to share what components you will be putting on the bike? BB, saddle, etc.?

I bought the frame as replacement for my damaged Cannondale SuperSix. So basically I take over what was installed plus change to disc brakes and different crank (as C'dale is BB30):
- SRAM Force 2/10 groupset all mechanical,
- TRP Spyre SLC brakes (have Spyres already at my Cyclocross w. Force 11, works great),
- LightBicycles carbon wheelset 35mm on Novatec hubs,
- Rotor ALDHU cranks,
- running the cables "semi-integrated" nito the head tube through FSA 69 headset, allows for standard stem and steerer. I want to keep the freedom to adjust here, rather than having all integrated (which might be a bit problematic running mechanical discs as well). Handlebar is a Syntace CDR which I really love, stem I'll play around with what's in the box and once I found the proper length I'll look for a nice one.
So let's see :-)

I was wondering what frame and fork weights people have been getting. Thanks for any info.

Made my payment on the 5th August, and Wing today sent me a picture of the painted frame.

That's a really good color. Matte olive? Can I know what parts you'll be putting on it?

I'm guessing a turret-mounted 50 caliber.

Anyone installing a 1x considering a blanking plate on the front mech mount?

You got it. I like the look of it with tan sidewalls.

Putting on Ultegra 6870 Di2 from an older cross bike. Ordered Elite ENTs in 45mm for wheels.
