Hey folks!


After reading this forum until the eye is big and wet (Norwegian phrase) and filling me whit joy looking forward to bits and parts arriving at my doorstep.

And as you will see I’m going ALL INN on ALI products

Make sure that size L isn't too big for you - I'm 178cm tall and I'd choose between size S and M depending on how aggressive the fit is. Overall, I believe it is the same mold as Rinasomething that some people have reviewed on YouTube, including Patrick Lino (just keep in mind same mold does not equal same quality)

Hey man thanks. Yes I was realy in doubt about framesize... Maybe should have spendt more time checking but but but.. Now its midair hopfully soon or sometime..

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Airwolf and Rinasclta frames are totally coming off the same line. They carry all the same models, even track and rim brake frames. Some of the website photos are shared. I see no reason to pay Rinasclta any extra money.

Correct. I've spoke with Rinasclta about this to confirm, and mentioned it (not by name) in one of my Rinasclta videos.

@frodeih: the Aliexpress link for the Crank set (167,5mm 50/34) doesn't work for me. What is the name of the crankset?
It is really difficult to find any lightweight crankset 175 mm/50-34 for bb86. Any ideas?

Agreed, these sizes are huge. IMO OP should go with a small

The stack and headtube of these frames is huge... I'm afraid the L is going to be too big indeed for your 178cm... I am 172 and if I compare this frame to my other frames, I (me personally) would have gone for the smallest size... And even than the stack would be too big for my liking...

According to their sizing guide I should be on a medium, but based on the actually geometry chart and cross referencing my two other framesets the small is a better fit. I've been eyeballing their other frame the YFR001 and all their frames seem to have tall head tubes. I'm guessing so you won't need to add so many stem spacers perhaps and can ride with a slammed look?

80mm stem?

[mirek100]

Enybody knows what is the dimension between the stem and top edge of the head tube without any extra spacers but with the headset cover?

I just received this picture from Airwolf.

big and wet

Did you receive the 066? Been looking at the pulling the trigger on that frame, wondering if you have any comments or a review about your experience with it and Airwolf.
