Speeder Cycling SC-R55D

Just about ready to take on a maiden (outside) voyage!  Still playing with painting the bottle cages the same as the frame. There’s some small things to add still, but it’s currently 16.0 lbs, or something.something kg.

Put about 5000km on this frame, maybe about 2000 outside, 3000 on trainer

Had a minor fall so i had to replace derailleur hanger and pulley cage, bike is fast, dont feel like the frame is holding me back.
I do notice its a bit harsher on the front than any previous bike i had, not sure if its fork, handlebars or whatever else, but its not the end of the world

Got my frameset painted up. Now I need to buy a groupset…. So far my wife hasn’t been too upset so I’ll call that a win!

What is the color code or name please ?
Any reciews of how it feels and rides ?

Paint looks great. You use spray gun or rattle cans?

Rustoleum Blue Cosmos for the color, and some spraymax 2k clear coat for protection.  Also hit the bottle cages with the color shift paint for more speed points.

It's not perfect, but certainly looks good from a few feet back.  Bike is currently hung up for the next couple weeks while 4iiii puts a power meter on the crank.  Really looking forward to getting that back and racing this bike.  Still need to snag some deeper wheels at some point...  Just gotta let the wife forget about the costs first

I only did a quick ride around the block with it, but it feels damn good. Can't wait to do a real ride with it.

Speeder did the paint job.

I also ordered it. How long did it take to receive it ?

From placing the order to receiving the frame, it took about 5 weeks. It was right after Chinese New Year, so they may have been catching up on other orders as well.

Interesting! They refused to do any point for me, but were OK with changing finish (to matte gloss) and adding decals. My frame also took quite long to finish compared to yours, so I guess you have jumped on a "big batch for some brand is coming" wagon.

Still waiting for my frame to arrive but I can still adhere to my schedule before racing season.

@precision6625 kudos for the writeup and helpful detail shots. the disc mount before and after comparison is eye-opening.

What tightening torques did you use for everything ?

I read 10 N.m for the seat post but it looks a lot.

I want to say it was 6-8 N-m.  My clamp has small teeth on it, and it didn't take much to make it stay put.

Thanks. I am thinking to those torques :

Expandeur plug : 5 Nm
Seatpost clamp : 6,5 Nm
Rail saddle : Front 3,1 Nm and rear 4,5 Nm
Thru axle : 11 Nm
Rear derailleur hanger : 4,5 Nm
Stem bolts : 4,5 Nm

What do you think ?

I did these:
Expandeur plug: 5
Seatpost clamp: 8
Rail saddle, Front and Rear: 4
Thru axle: 10
Rear derailleur hanger: 5
Stem bolts: 5

I rode exactly twice and nothing slipped. The seatpost torque range of 8-10 is pretty high, but since it's written on the clamp, the seatpost must be designed to handle it, right? [crosssing fingers]

It is the first time that I see a such high torque for the seatpost. Thanks to be the tester .
