I also just placed my order for this frameset. Beautiful color.

I also decided to pick this frame after seeing posts here and videos on Youtube.

I just finished painting it yesterday and hopefully get it built up tomorrow after the clearcoat cures some more. Excited to ride it! First time buying and building with a Chinese frame.

Just curious, did you use the springs that came with the Ztto ratchet?

I purchased the 54t Ztto and they slipped 10 minutes into my first climb with them and would not stay engaged after that. I contacted Ztto and they sent me a replacement but I'm hesitant to try them again. I used the DT swiss springs that came with my 18T and DT Swiss grease.

Cool! Been thinking of building with this frame as well. Looking forward to hearing how the frame holds up.
