Info for anyone else who may be purchasing. Spacer bolts are M5, I bought sets in 20mm increments from 40-100mm from Bolt Depot for <$10 to play with pad height. I believe the spacers are compatible with the PD A3A riser kit, but have yet to order and check -- still getting other aspects of the fit dialed.


Some niggles:

- the hardware holding the arm rests / clamping the extensions is incredibly soft. I recommend replacing it right away.
- had to sand down the seatpost to allow for movement within the seattube
- bottle cage mounts are too far down the downtube to mount a standard bottle cage. Even with a sideloader the rear wheel cut out is too large to allow the bottle to sit flush. Might be fixed on larger sizes, but if even a 54 is too small I doubt it. Using a Wolftooth B-Rad to move it farther up the downtube for now, and planning to try the Cervelo aero bottle, which looks like it may clear.
- Stem clamps from only one side and has a weak hold on the steerer. Needs to be torqued to 6-7Nm or it still wants to turn. Going to try adding some carbon paste and see if that helps.

Received yesterday. Overall pretty impressed with the weight and paint job. Definitely better than I could've done myself.

Came with a Profile Design bento box, 43asc clone extensions. Seatpost includes a 10mm thru rail. Basebar was 400mm and appears reversible. Included riser bolts mandate using every riser spacer. Will work out thread pitch and length and update tomorrow when I order extras.

Routing exits bars into the stem then down through the top tube, 3T/Cervelo style.

Maximum seatpost insertion is ~110mm due to the wheel cutout; if your saddle height is <810mm from centre of the BB cutting it down will be mandatory.

nice to see some more options for disc come to market in recent months. anyone know why there's such a sudden uptick?

Any chance you can post a photo of the rear of the seatpost / saddle clamp? Curious to see if it's 10mm rail accessory compatible.

Ended up ordering during the last day of the sale. Opted for custom painting so it will be a bit before I receive the frame. Will post on the build process and result once completed!

Have been checking AliExpress every few months in the hope of a cheap(er) disc TT frame coming to the market. My prayers have finally been answered: the TT-119.

BSA BB, clearance for 32c! tires, support for standard stems and mechanical shifting, and relatively modern geometry.

Has anyone had experience with other Winow frames or know who they've done ODM work for? I see it being resold by BXT, but no one else, and the geo seems unique to them.

I am planning to inquire about the price of a frameset without the basebar and extensions and may likely pull the trigger if it's low enough, but would love to learn more before if possible.
