Thanks!

Unfortunatly not 

I currently live near Munich in Germany. It's an 4 hours drive to the Lake through the alps. My plan is to ride once around the lake 
Lets see, if I can do it 

Yes, it's just beautiful there!

Done. 6,2 kg.

Done! About 20 hours of work on fork and frame..
Paint on the frame: ~ 90 grams. I scratched it off with a blade and wet sanded the curved parts.

At some spots I have to do some more sanding.. but most of the work is done. Now I can start building up the bike 

Long time no update 

Unfortunatly I didn't really have time to ride in the past months. But I had the chance to shoot a new road bike frame (70 % off  ) which is fairly light. Of course the color will come off the frame and the fork even though I meanwhile like it  I hope the set will be under 1000 g. That depens on how much paint will be on both, but it looks like a lot of paint.

Due to the PF30 BB I had to buy a new crankset too. Since I found no used SRAM Red compact cranks, I bought a new SRAM RED eTap 22 50/34 t crankset. That saved abaout 110 grams compared to the SRAM Red 22 GXP Cranks.
If there is the chance to change the rear hub body to an XD body, I can finally mount the SRAM Red cassette.. but that's another story.

The changes will give me a ~ 6000 grams roadbike......

Well, that's the new frame and how it will look like:

No, I will leave the gripped middle section as it is. If you take it off, the diameter would be way less than 31,8 mm. The stem won't fit anymore.

What you can do anyways, is strip it and repaint that section with some transparent paint to the right diameter again.. could be a couple of layers of paint, but you will get rid of that white 

My current Chiner is a Workswell WCB-M-062.

And I would buy the LCFS911 from Yishunbikes 

Can you share your programming?
I want to make my own carbon fiber holder

Do you mean how I built it? What do you want to know?

I used carbon fiber rovings, a tube with the same diameter as the seattube and epoxide resin. I soaked the fiber in the resin, and wrapped it around the tube and the bolt with the nut. After the resin was hardened, I grinded off excess resin. That's pretty much it.

A lot is trial and error. I did at least 4 seatclamps until I was satisfied with weight and function.

Order you some titanium bolts (https://www.jaeger-schrauben.de/Titan/Schrauben/Titan-TCK-natur::46.html)

and nuts (https://www.jaeger-schrauben.de/Titan/Muttern/Titan-MMSss-natur::1020.html) for example.

Talking about beginners mistakes.. last race went not that well.

The week before the race I was not able to ride at least once. So I felt pretty uncomfortable in the downhills, especially in fast descends. During the race I got more confident and I kept the pace of the group. Soon they fell behind in the climbs and I was alone for about half an hour until I got the next small group of riders. The race was 84 km and 2120 meters of climb in two rounds.

After the first round in 1 hour and 51 minutes I recognised my mistake. I overpaced with an average heart rate of about 170 bpm.
The result of that catched my after about 60 km.. I felt quite bad and had this flickering vision due to a lack of carbohydrates. So I was forced to stop and rest for 1 or 2 minutes taking a gel. Since it was a fairly chilly morning I had to pee anyway, so it wasn't that bad 
The last 20 km were better then, but the second round was 10 minutes slower than the first one.

Result: 33 of 72 riders overall, and 15. in my group of age. Riding time: 4:01 h, average speed 20.90 km/h
