Re: Full integrated carbon bar with positive angle I don't think those exist.

I would recommend you look for bike with endurance or gravel geometry, so you can have lower reach and higher stack.

Re: Carbonda CGWO1 vs 9Velo GV45 vs Lun Grapid Wheelsets @bennytalent: I didn't mean building your own :) You can just ask for the configuration you want. For hubs, you can ask for DT Swiss hubs, or go for their OEM hubs.

Re: Yishunbike R1058-D @Goe @curvenut

Pic below. The build went smooth. I only struggled to get the Di2 cable through the chainstay, but that was because the guide tubes were removed before painting. Other than that, no issues whatsoever.

@neobiker For me, they usually reply after 1-2 days, expect during holidays. What exactly are you asking them about?

Re: Yishunbike R1058-D @neobiker: Yishun is a really big OEM. If they create new models, those are initially open to OEM customers only, as they take up all the capacity anyway. Only when initial OEM demands die down, do they become open to retail customers.

@ENEP: Yeah, "stopwatch" is just bike computer :D It's just the standard carbon mount. Works fine, but it's easy to overtighten the little screws that hold in the adapter plate (for switching between Garmin, Wahoo, etc).

Re: Mounting tubeless tires on a new wheelset This is a common problem, and the solution is often to just put 1-2 more layers of rim tape to make the fit a bit tighter.

Re: Yishun R086-D Aero Road
I would be curious which companies Yishun produces for.

Here's one: https://prorace.be/bikes/aero/randa/

Thanks, but I was hoping you could double-check that  :D I suspect this HB058 is identical to what some other brands are selling, but the reach numbers vary. On the drawing, Carbonda specifies 75mm reach, but that seems to be measured center-to-edge, not center-to-center.

Also, the 50mm clamping area is barely enough for a stem, so that wouldn't leave any clamping room for bike computers, lights, etc... Something that really annoys me on aero handlebars.

Re: Painting over UD matte finish I've taken UD matte framesets into a professional paint shop, and asked about the work required to get it ready-to-paint. They said a light sanding is enough.

Re: RIDLEY FALCON RS Ridley has sold open mould frames before (see Ridley Kanzo Adventure, the previous version) but their main models are own designs.

Re: Yishun R086-D Aero Road
Sweet! But...Tried to buy one yesterday. 48cm and 50cm both out of stock. MOQ is 30 sets, so they couldn't give me a timeline. They were also out of the handlebar I wanted for the build (380x90 but have 380x100 and 400x90). And now, because of your post, I'm even more depressed :'(

Maybe consider their other frames? I wouldn't order this frame unless you're absolutely sure the long reach is what you need (meaning: get a bike fit first). I built one up for a friend, and while it's a great frame, there is no way it can fit my body. There is no such thing as a geometry that fits all riders, so measure twice, or you'll have to buy twice :D

Regarding the MOQ: I don't think there's a MOQ for this frame (I bought a single frameset), but they probably mean they can't spin up a production run just for a single frame, so you're waiting for one of their OEM clients to order a new batch of frames first.
