Why not buy both models (0 and 20). A seatpost costs around 50-60USD;  On short saddles (approx. 245 cm), you have fewer adjustment possibilities compared to a 275 cm saddle


Thanks! I've made some quick calculations on https://www.bikegeocalc.com and I'm going for 0 setback and 100mm stem. It'll still be more aggressive than the bikes I have but should be fine ahaha. Let's hope. Fingers crossed.

Let's see now how long it will take to deliver

Nice!

Is it size 56?

I ordered the frame already too in size 58 (0mm setback and 100mm stem).
Saw some posts of people complaining about the fact that the frame has no "hole" To release water either in the frame or in the fork, yet still decided to test it.

My frame has a 1/8-in hole beneath the bottom bracket for I guess water egress

Same here, a hole underneath the BB, for the fork, have not seen any.

Thanks to both.
Maybe it was the first frame builds. As regards the fork dunno. Some user a while back complained about a big gap between the frame and the spacers. I guess water can go in. Anyway I don't ride in the rain ahaha. It's more concerning when cleaning/washing it

When you compress this headset, the space no longer exists. I saw these comments and so I bought another set of spacer on Ali. By simply putting it down, there was no gap. Also, when I compressed the headset, the handlebars wouldn't turn anymore because they were too tight. So I came back with the initial headset which is well tuned. I'll be posting pictures soon. I'm currently testing the bike

Looks very nice  :D

Did you have the chance to ride it. If yes, how does it feel so far? Any problems?

Looking forward to get my frame and wheels.

Thank you.

The complete process of ordering with specifying paint, parts, and building has been a no issue (and pleasant) adventure so far.
Some really minor things are;
Tracking of the frame, a notice of a booked parcel and then nothing for 20days, and the last 1-2 days were packed with updates. Not a product quality issue.
Next minor notice, and im being quite picky now, is that the rear axle threads in place somewhat with resistance.
Hunch is that derallieur hanger and axle thread tolerances are not the same as the carbon parts.
To be honest, those are just small farts in a storm as comparison.

Did a initial 60min ride and pushed it a bit.
Im about 82-84kgs, Pmax of 1300w roughly on a super light frame, size 56 and my reaction is undisputed happiness.
Frame feels stiff and as per geometry of frame, right on target.
 
For a safety check of handlebar + stem check, I hanged my whole body wheight on the drops and jumped/rocked up and down. Solid as can be.

To summorize so far, _really_ satisfied.
