New Frame Winow Sports WR054

[toxin]

it's an alix frame, that's to be expected

[Mikeyblue]

I have ordered this frame in a Size small. I will post frame, fork, seatpost weights when I get it. Will also post pics of the build.

This will be my crit bike so not too fussed about weight. I actually like a bit more material around BB, headtube, seatstays for stiffness.

I have an 11 speed Di2 groupset to go on. 54/40 chain rings. Really looking forward to seeing how this build goes.

Kind Regards,

Mikey.

1500 for frame alone is a lot. because that fork looks ginormous so it will weigh a lot as well.
will probably be amazing at 300W in a straight line though.

Fork and Seatpost weights are also listed (See attached pics).

It's a chonker.

that's pretty tank-ish. Probably not any heavier than the old Madone, though, and that's the only bike i've seen ridden alongside me that felt notably faster than mine (i dont claim to have a 100 friends each with a different frame either).

If it's that heavy and has that much carbon, it also raises the question of ride quality, might ride like a plank. Trace Velo said the systemsix is the least comfortable bike he's ridden, and cannondale's layup skills ought to be better than winow's.

The Foil is 500g lighter than this. That's a lot of chonk.

Vissually, this is my dream bike. I would like to order two of them. Saying that, 1500 grams, really??? In the end though, if it handles well and can snap around a corner in a crit than I could live with the extra weight. If there is any evidence it inspires confidence in corners and very fast group rides I would hit the button. Anybody out there who can nudge me toward the order button?

I'm waiting on this frame matts, so will update when I know more. I have had a look and think I can get this built up with 11 speed Di2, 55mm wheelset at around 8.2kg. Probably less if I really needed to. It will be for flat crits and some road races in the UK. I'm not too precious about weight but .mindful I still want that snappy kick when I get out of the saddle!

I have ordered white as per the pictures shown on here. I have hears that white paint is heavier than most. I am considering changing the order to bare carbon, with a layer of clearcoat. Reckon that would save 200grams or so maybe and keep it below 8kgs. I'm probably thinking too much about it though!!

White paint is not that heavy. For this amount of surface it will differ from another color by 10 grams.
If you don't paint the frame, you can reduce the weight by 100 grams.

[toxin]

On bikes white is heavier because you need to apply more coats to completely hide the black carbon base

[birdofficial]

those super thick seatposts just look painful to me these days

you're supposed to use a saddle

Hello, friends

M size can be ordered normally. S and L sizes are still in the process of upgrading the mold. It will take about 1 month.

How did this turn out? I really have an itch for an out and out aero bike and this looks decent. Weight is concerning but I can get over it

I have just taken delivery of this frameset, and must say so far, I am impressed. In the end I ordered UD Glossy. So bare carbon with a coat of glossy lacquer. My frame is in size Small.

Frame, size Small, front and rear derailleur hanger attached - 1168 g
Fork - 527 g
Seatpost - 265 g
Handlebar 380/110mm - 352 g
Thru axels - 93 g

I’m just waiting on a new 12 speed Ultegra group set, and will look to get it built as soon as possible. The build will come in at just under 8kgs with the 1600g wheel set I am currently using. For next seasons races, I am looking at wheels along the lines of CRW, Magene, Farsport, No6 etc. This will take the bike to approx 7.7kg, less if I decide to run 1x, which I would be more than happy with!

Also for anyone wondering about geometry. In size small (not looked at other sizes), it is ‘extremely’ similar to a Canyon Aeroad XS. Again for me this is great, knowing that geometry fits me well.

Service from Kitty through the process has been great. Especially with me changing my mind halfway through the buying process, and my constant questions!

Will keep you updated once the build is done.

Kind Regards,

Mikey.

Have you finished your build ?

So it is looks that ud glossy in S is much more lighter than that 1500g white M - but 332g is crazy -maybe some changes in production from this first white sample? While the difference between a white and a black fork is only 23g. I wonder how much actual L size weighs.
