this is the 52D, right? https://www.parapera-bikes.de/our-bikes/atmos%C2%B2-gravelbike guess thats the reason why its not available in germany anymore :(

Good catch.Parapera Atmos2. Seems the same I would say but did you check the geometry table?
The geometry is a bit different. I think it is an slightly modified version to fit 34mm tires.
In my Speeder 52D 30mm yes, but 34mm I dont think so… Interesting in any case…

has anyone tried 30mm wheels on the R52D? do they fit?
I did try on 28mm tires on 21mm internal width wheels.
Fork no problem and rear, I have 4mm aprox on each side, so yes for road should be fine, but a tight fit.
Check the pictures yourself.
1st pic fork (25mm Schwalbe Pro Tubeless)
2nd pic on the rear (same tire but on 28mm)
Cheers!

Attached the list of compenents and prices (most things bought during Black Friday). Final weight 7,15Kg with all pieces, not far from estimations.

Similar here, we might live close by. A couple of rides outdoors and many on the turbo trainer. Weather has been extra cold and if not super cold, miserable.
One ride was on -4degrees, icy and not so fun, today windy and rainy but could enjoy the ride.
Regarding the frame, all good for the building, no issues with brakes alignment or bb.
My only complaints:
- I was expecting 100gr less on the frame weight. Still the whole bike is 7,150gr with pedals.
- Regarding internal cabling easy to do, but I find a bit anoying how easy the bike turns the handlebar to left or right while pushing it while walking or raising it. Not having cables makes it too easy to spin the handlebar. Riding it is perfect.
Pleasant bike. i am happy. No flex etc detected, bike feels normal stiff, but I am running tubeless tires at lower pressures so I assume this filters a bit all the road feeling as to point any difference with my previous bike (I am coming from a rim break Scott addict) Aero claims I cannot do, just by the looks, it has to be more efficient.
I did a few pics today.

Agree yes, looked at it more in detail. Also junction downtube with headtube.

The page from Adapt seems the same source code as Speeder, I assume one is B2C and the other one B2B, but behind it could be the same people. Also the frame from https://www.nichcycling.com/pages/legend4 made by Adapt is to my eyes the same as my SC-R52D. White looks very nice, seems more beefy, more aero.

Did not read anything yet about Adapt bikes. The fork looks different, more narrow, more like the Filante. The seatpost clamp seems same to me, the frame I cannot tell any difference by the pictures.

Just some finding.
It seems Storck top of the range wheels are Elite Drives. It not these are very similarm, the hubs are unique.
So this would mean Elite is OEM for Storck Wheels. But it also means the wheels are good in quality, Storck takes good care of that.
See the wheels in the Storck page.

Mine is almost ready.
BB pressing went suprisingly good. Internal cabling etc, no issues at all, quick job.
Overall weight 7Kg with accesories and without pedals. I will weight it in detail later once it is completely finshed.
A buddy will come over to help me with the bike fitting and then I will cut more steerer and unneded seat post.

The Sram AXS fine tunning needs to be done, and bleeding. Milk in the tires... so still some job to be done.

I agree it looks like the Filiante, even the saddle post and holding mechanism, the rubber cover too. Might be a little slimmer down tube and thicker fork in the Speeder.

Why do you use 595?
I want to try the BB installation without any retaining compound to see if its fine without (just being optimistic about tolerances I guess).
I have a Praxis M30 BB86 and it recommends Loctite 595 for carbon shell. So I will try it like that…
I did in the past without retaining compound and no issues since I am a light rider, not putting lots of power in the BB.

I was playing a bit with the top cap and this aluminium top cap from Aliexpress looks neater than the provided one IMO (and save 11gr.), just in case it is interesting for someone.

One question for NLD or other members with integrated cabing:
I have no experience with the FSA nr55r headset. Is normal this space between last spacer and frame as in the first pic? It looks like half a mm too much. I think I mounted it right, will check later more in detail.

That is a beauty ;)
How was the bb instalation? I am waiting for my Loctite 595 to arrive before proceeding to avoid creaking.

It looks like a 300€ epoxy repair. Do not get worried about the sound, material being removed with the chain but not yet sanded, can mute the coin test.
A posibility is to ride the frame off road, jump and so on until it really breaks and then claim to Canyon or if it passes the test, sand it, reglue a metal protection and enjoy...
I had a very similar one in a Canondale Synapse, same story, mateal part went away and I touched the carbon, was never an issue. I inspected after every ride for months and at the end re-glued a new metal cover.
Finguers crossed.

Hi all,

I do not think the BB it is too bad, it is only not thoroughly taped, and the paint seems too thick, which is good if you do not care about extra 50gr.

I added some more pics without macro, otherwise it looks like the end of the world ;). I also marked the internal guide in the rear for the brake hose. The same hose is available in the fork. Nice feature as commented before.

Also for reference the seatpost clamp will not accept a saddle with carbon rails since these are too wide and I bought this:
"Ritchey Ritchey WCS Carbon Retrofit Kit 7x9.6mm for Seat Posts" for 13€ and extra 10gr. I will install it once it arrives.

It is frustrating that the wheels from Light Bicycle are delayed and cannot complete the build.

Regarding FCT / Speeder. I have no clue if it is a manufacturer or not, I thought manufacturer when I ordered, but for sure it was strange how they told me in erlay Dec that my frame will be ready in Jan 6th and the day after it was shipped, as if they got a batch from the factory all of a sudden.
