Nice build!

I am about to order an XL frame and wondering about the Matte color.  (I am also quite exited as it will be my first build  )
What does it actually mean?

- is it Matte Black paint or Matte Carbon looks with the only coating?

thanks!

The build look great!  How does it ride?

I built mine up on Saturday and put some chrome decals on it
Rides extremly well and comfortable.
My bike before was a Cannondale Supersix evo (2016).

So question why put stickers on it to say that it's something that it is not. Even if it's a clone of that something?

It seems silly to me and at worst dishonest. I also dislike bike badging to begin with. That's part the draw for me to design my own paint. To put my own "badging" on if I so chose. in a fancy font.  "Queen of skulls... off with their head." :p or radiation symbols.  or cute skulls.

Question for anyone that built up the bike already. What torque spec did you wrench to? Thanks

Can you tell me what saddle that is?  And your thoughts on it?  Been looking at those 3D printed saddles and even the "cheap" chinese ones are close to $100.

The saddle i have is ANTARES VERSUS EVO R1 ADAPTIVE.

it is matte carbon. I ceramic coated mine to protect it.

That makes me want to print a saddle in carbon. I know that it is sla with nylon powder. But seriously. Anyone try printing a saddle.

What did you use to ceramic coat it ? I tried some cheapo ceramic coating, it looks nice for a day. Didn't last as long as turtle wax.. LOL
