Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Seka Spear
« on: April 29, 2024, 07:34:17 AM »
Seka just released their new frameset and it looks pretty good. Kind of poised as an endurance bike judging by the geo numbers but not super relaxed. Weight is really nice and looks decently aero. There’s a big discussion about it over on WeightWeenies (along with the usual bickering). Interested to hear what people here think. It’s not listed on the Seka website yet though.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Stiff Aero Bars with Flair
« on: March 22, 2024, 01:58:41 PM »
Looking for a stiff, narrow aero handlebar with some flair to the drops. Honestly, something like the Enve Aero bar is nearly perfect. Apart from a $400 price tag. Plan to go for separate bar and stem but don't mind a 1-piece setup. The One Pro is decent, but I'd like more flair if possible. 38 hoods to like 42 drops would be ideal.

EXS makes a carbon fork that's meant to hide the cables on the old TCR. I'm wondering if anybody makes a similar fork with a 1 1/8" steerer tube.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Stiff, Aero, Crit Bike
« on: January 06, 2024, 07:24:04 AM »
Looking to build up an aero monster for racing crits. Not too concerned with weight. Just want something aero and stiff. I'm fairly big at 189cm and 80kg, and can put down around 1,600W in a sprint.

So far I have:
  • Speeder SC-49D/Adapt FM49-DB - They look to be the same frame. Really aggressive (possibly too much), long and low. But looks nice and aero. Trying to find some reviews on the stiffness.
  • ICAN A9 - slightly less aggressive but frame design looks very similar to above. Easy buying options and custom paint, but more expensive.
  • Adris Le Vitesse - is this an open mold? It looks super nice but their website seems to be down right now so I don't even know if ou can still buy these. But it looks similar to an Aeroad. Also way more expensive.
  • Bross Zenith. Seems to be vaporware right now. But probably excites me the most. Looks super aero. But absolutely no idea if they'd sell to the US.

Probably missing some others, I'm open to suggestions. Threaded BB would be a plus but not a deal breaker. Custom paint also a huge plus. Any ideas?

Related but also looking for a stiff, flared, integrated handlebar. Something like 38 tops, 42 drops. With around 190-200mm total reach (stem + reach).

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / ELILEE Carbon Crankset
« on: August 03, 2023, 04:12:04 PM »
Wondering if anybody has tried these and would give a review. I'm tempted to buy them with the 4 bolt spider and mount my Dura-Ace rings. Could be a savings of 100g over 9100 or over 150g savings over 9200 cranks. Price is tempting.

What's the consensus on ordering Shimano groups on Ali Express? Has anybody actually ordered and received one? Are they real or knockoffs?
