It will depend what they blow up to. These thundero measure 48mm exactly. There is clearance front and rear.

What's the internal width of the rims?

Build complete

Went with size 56 I'm 182

Sram force shifters & brakes

Sram red xplr 13 speed derailleur and cassette

Enve AR 40cm bars

Mosso 90mm stem

Enve SES 4.5 wheels

tufo gravel thundero 48mm (tubeless 60ml sealant in each)

Ceramic speed T47 BB

Garbaruk gravel crankset

Garbaruk 38t chainring


Weight was 8.14 no cages pedals etc


Overall I'm happy with it. Rear brake mounts are on a slight angle took abit of work to not get it to rub. Really needs to be faced.

High spec set up! Nice one. How does frame size feel? I'm the same height but went for 54 and it certainly doesn't feel compact. Although I think either 54 or 56 is likely fine.

90mm which gives a similar reach to my road bike that has a 110mm stem. The reach is super long on the frame

It will take a 55mm measured for sure. Whether you seem it acceptable would depend on conditions

Mine just came in.  Color 55 - lots of blue and purple.  It was dusk during picture time, so didn't show it off very well.  It took right at 3 weeks for them to produce the frame.  Eddy must be married to the UPS guy's sister or something.  Picked up in Hong Kong yesterday and delivered to Alabama today.  A day and a half delivery - HFS.

Gave it a good lookover.  Paint job is super clean.  Top headset is a bit tight, but the bearing does go in.  Seatpost may be too slick, though I did clamp it and it seems to be very solid.  Not sure if I want a zero offset post anyway, so may put my old one in.  It is indeed about 1" longer than a Carbonda 696 small - I was terribly squeezed on that frame (which is kind of a shame, it is a solid frame).

Weights:

Frame - 1265g (no bolts, with derailleur hangar)
Fork - 425g uncut, no bolts
Seatpost - 164g

For shits and giggles I weighed all the bolts - 76g.  Most of those will be replaced with plastic screws.  Frame spec is 1150g +-50 unpainted, so 1238 painted (no bolts, no hangar) passes the smell test.  It isn't a super light frame, but that isn't its purpose.  The door is 70g all by itself, so a bit heavy.  But that's the bling on this frame, so totally worth it.

It does look like it has plenty of clearance on the non-drive side for a 4iii powermeter.  That's what I was most worried about.

The headset provided is 4 piece - no crown race.  That doesn't seem right - what did everyone else get?

No crown race on most forks these days. Already have the mating surface from the carbon.

Done a few rides 150km total. Half road half gravel

As we all know ride feel is very subjective... and I'm still tweaking a few bits.

So far I'm finding it good. The door doesn't rattle or move around which I was worried about.  It is very secure.

Found it to be abit twitchy in corners. On a downhill with bumps I'm felling like it wants to buck me off. I thing a sloped top tube and more seatpost sticking out this thing would be a home run.

But considering the price point I'm impressed.

A chance meeting of two Tideace Noahs at Raiders Gravel and the British Gravel Champs.

Both super happy with it!

Finished the build.  Or at least a preliminary stop gap until I decide how high I want the bars - they'll come down a bit, just not sure how much.  This bike is designed as a do all long haul road/gravel bike - definitely not getting this anywhere near as low as my S5 roadie.  I'm going to plan a day to move the bars down a bit to get to where I want and then do a final cut.  This came in at 9.05kg, which isn't bad considering that I'm using lower end components and wheels than Osh or Gloss.  Equipment:

GRX600 2x mechanical
4iii powermeter
HED Emporia GA rims
32mm GP5000s
FSA Adventure bars (heavy, but not a fan of lots of flare)
Redshift stem
Praxis T47 IB bottom bracket

With 43mm gravelkings it's more like 9.2kgs - damn tires are heavy.  There is tons of room in this frame for more.  2.1" should not be a problem if one can live with .25" of clearance to the frame.  Everything seems spot on except the brakes, which I'm having a bear of a time getting centered.  They just seem to barely rub - still mucking with them (Edit:  I think I got them worked).  Everything else went together well.  This is a semi internal routing setup, so I used all of the headset pieces sent with it.  Loads of fun wrangling with four wires through the frame, but it did go together and the pass through cap seems to work fine.  Powermeter has plenty of space - no worries there.  Not sure I like the bar tape, but it'll do for now.

Also, the downtube compartment and tool bag rock.  It's got a nice set of tools/supplies in it and it fits fine.  It also doubles as a big hold down for the cables going through, so no rattle evident at all.

No, includes pedals, bottle cages, Garmin mount.  Not the tool bag or tools.  Tool bag is light. Tools are pretty heavy.

How long did it from placing the order to receiving the frame?
