TideaceBike New mold Road Frame FM-CR068 groupbuy

Frankly it looks good to me and I see the seatstays as more of a style pick.
With Tour magazine style testing with a lower body only dummy they might have a negative aero impact, but IRL with you pedaling constantly and the dirty airflow around your legs the impact should be minimal. It's a bit similar with aero seatposts, IRL less important than people think (they still have an impact) and the added comfort of a round seatpost is something that most people should value higher.

How was the stifness of the frame ?

I will have to do a few more rides to give a final feedback.

Interesting. So Trek Madone should be less aero then competitors, too?
Is there an aero test proofing that?
The Tideace frame looks pretty thick from front view, this should be an disadvantage?
My biggest concern is that there aren't any reviews on this frame concerning safety/durabillity even after being some months on the market...don't want to be the first finding his teeth on tarmac...

Yes, new Madone was the slowest in the last TOUR magazine test. I will give further feedback on the bike after a few rides.

So the first full ride. The seatpost is no longer slipping with Dynamic Carbon Paste. The bike is fast as hell. I have no issues with any creaking noises and I am a big boi with 99 kg on 191 cm. Final setup now with wheels from Peter and Bigrock Skyline handlebar on 7,85 kg.

Just two last issues:
- rubber cover for the lower clamp does not follow the frame
- screw for the saddle clamp was rusty after the first wet ride, will change it against a Ti one

Nice, thanks. What is about climbing ?

What is the weight and size of the frame ?

[Uberflo]

Climbing feels good but I am coming from a > 9 kg Ti frame. Frame size is large and weight 1.300 g

Without accessories ? DID you weigh the fork and seat post please ?

[Uberflo]

With Accessoires. I have no weight for fork and seat post.

So, 340 km in total ok the bike and I must admit the rides feel very good. Very stiff, agile for an bulky aero frame and the look is insane. The last two things are the screw (for the saddle clamp) and this rubber cover to follow the frame (open to ideas).
