In the event of a break, why not just buy new ones from the vendor?

Why not just choose what you like and suits your riding style? Not much that looks like this one.
For a lot of people the brand thing and what others think will be a non issue. I don’t ride anything branded.
Does not have to be a pose, even though a large portion of those who do buy branded do so for some brand clout.
Some people want to focus on the riding
and picking a bike that will best service that.

People see bikes they like, if they are reasonably priced and work for what they need, they buy them.
Sure, some people look to fake they own an expensive bike which is a bit weird, but not most.
Most who buy these kinds of frames ride them as unbranded and enjoy them not caring about brand names, and would never consider paying the price of the original. It’s really not that complex. I don’t see why people get so upset. Those who would buy the original would never consider the clone.
IP theft is not great, the customer for this bike is not the same customer as for the cervelo however.
I don’t care what people ride. So long as they are happy. It’s not my business. I do find bikes like this one interesting however.

Did my first proper fast xc ride over the weekend.
Happy to report it was a really awesome experience. Was surprised how well the 909 climbed and how smooth it was in general.
I am not used to a bike this long so cornering and drops will take a little getting used to timing perfectly for me.
All in all, super happy. Great bike.
Early days yet, but nothing to complain about on my side!

Thanks, that helps. I really want to work out how to make the top cap flush with the frame (no gaps). I feel like if I put the one that came with it in it will sit up. Saw a guy on here got his flush. Will have to break out the calipers and do some measurements I guess… hope I am worried about nothing and will just work.
On another note the build is coming along well but managed to chip the paint on the swing arm with the bottom bracket tool! Just superficial but worth a note. Very tight.
Had to remove the lower bolt on the swing arm to get the cables in (was hard). Should have done it then.

Does anyone have a diagram of how the headset goes together? Is the top bearing, then that half circle thing, then the top cap and washer? That leaves a hole…

Cool, thanks. I can’t make one! Wing did tell me the axle had been updated so hope this is sorted also. Don’t think mine has been sent yet.
