[carloescobar]

No, 1,5" to 1 1/8". See the Deda Specs here: https://dedaelementi.com/media/wysiwyg/dcr-tech/DCR_D-SHAPE_Fork_Technology_v1.pdf

Sorry, 1/8th is what I meant. Ok, thanks!

Has anyone self painted this frame? If so did you paint the storage cover as well? Assume the cover is plastic?

Thinking of doing this myself and from the frames I've seen here those with the matching cover do look good.

Working on just this right now. Frame is primed and I'll start painting sometime this week/early next week. Yes, I'm painting the plastic cover. Masking around the latch on the cover and around the opening on the frame was a bit of a puzzle, but I managed in the end. I should have some photos of the finished product in a week or two

Cool, thanks!

I'd be really interested in hearing the process so far, or if you've got any photos of the masking.

Have you painted a frame before? If so how does this compare so far?

I've painted quite a few. Mainly for myself, but also some frames and helmets for friends and family. Check out my Instagram link down there ⌄⌄ for some photos if you're interested.
Frame is frame lol. They're all the same thing when it comes to painting, even material choice doesn't make much of a difference if you take the time to prep. It's not difficult, just very time consuming. I ordered mine raw and it really cuts down on prep time. There's tons of great stuff on YouTube detailing frame prep and paint techniques from people who are much better than me. If you've never painted before, buy some speed shapes or some kind of round tubes and practice first to get the technique down.
Here's a couple quick shots.

Can recommend the Speeder Cycling gravel bar with FSA ACR. You just need the change the top bearing because of the different angle (36 degrees). C ring sits nice and flush with the top cap. The gap is about 0,5 mm and retaining collars from bar to the c ring so nothing can move.

Thanks. Looking for seperate stem and bars but integrated cabling. Will probably go with the Superbox and my current bars.

I like the color. Looks live even better than on the pictures. Will protect top tube and other areas with protection film.

Now waiting for Wheelset and groupset so that I can start assembling it.
