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

3 weeks on the nose for me.  Like I mentioned above, though, somehow the frame got from Hong Kong to me (Alabama) in like 2 days.  Ridiculous and I must have had a fairy riding along for that to happen.  I think the other guys in here also experienced about 3 weeks to get to shipping.

Could anybody with this frame confirm the size/spec of the headset bearings? Mainly the angles, I'm 99% sure they are 52mm x 40mm x 8mm...

I have this frame but somehow lost the headset bearings and want to make sure I am sourcing a replacement that will fit.

Thanks!

Try emailing them. Unfortunately not an easy thing to take out and measure!

Yeah, I sent them an e-mail as well. Wouldn't ask or expect anyone to do disassembly to check! Just hoping maybe somebody hadn't put theirs together yet or maybe had a picture.

Got a chance to give her a nice ride over the weekend.  Frame is solid.  Very stable, but can't whip it around like my old S5 (nothing surprising here - that's what these frames should do).  The 32mm tires make me feel like I'm on rails - so much traction in turns it's crazy.  The zero offset seatpost will take some getting used to, but it felt good.  Not sure how fast the frame is, but it sure didn't feel slow and my average speed was totally reasonable.

Saddle is replaced and bars will definitely come down a half inch or so (at least).  Oh, and I totally lied when I said I thought the tools in the downtube would mute cable rattled.  Cables rattled like a mofo.  I have foam and will be treating cables this weekend to try and get rid of that.  None of that is the fault of the frame, though.  In fact, getting to the cables through the downtube is trivial - so nice.  So far very happy with this frame.

I used some pipe lagging and it stopped any rattling.

Hi,
I am about to order this frame as well. Did you already have problems with the tool bag cover? How secure is it? Do you think this could lead to problems in the future?
Maybe there is a possibility to order a spare cover.
Thank you!
Edit: what size would you recommend for 187cm and 88cm inseam length? 56 or 58?

I was very impressed with the quality of the bag. Its very big. You could fit 2 bags in the frame. 1 downwards 1 upwards. 

I'm 182 and went 56  with 90mm stem. Happy so far. 500 kms on it now

Thanks for your reply. I didn´t mean the bag itself, but the cover. Is this kind of loose? Or could this lead to problems in the future?

I have found it to be very secure. With a 700ml bottle it's doesn't rattle... even off road.

I have very slight movement at the bottom of the cover. I applied some liquid electrical tape just to make it a slightly softer surface and that seems to have stopped it.

I ordered this frame aswell.
But I dont want to use the standard handlebar.
Where can i find a stem that fits the unusual 1 1/2" headset?
Or can I use a 1 1/8" stem??

It uses 1 1/8 stem. The bigger bearing is to fit cables through
