Did 2.0 tires fit for you?  I'm wondering if 2.2s might squeeze in there.

700 x 50mm (measured ~52 mm) fit fine on my FE-02 but I wouldn't go much wider, at least on the rear - you can probably fit a 2.2 on the front - but I found them to be too tall, i.e. brought my center of mass too far above the ground for my liking. I'm currently running 650b x 54mm (measured width) tires which fit in the rear with ~3 mm of room on all sides and I like the handling a lot more.

Product could've been so much better with three dollars of oversight and quality control.  Guess the consumer is the unpaid test pilot

Yes, that is bad. I can't believe that the missing hole was a mistake by the engineering. That would be really stupid to be honest. Maybe it was a mistake with the manufacturing. But who knows.

My bike still looks and feels amazing and I'm so far very happy with it. Maybe they'll improve the future manufactured frames. We'll see.

I completed the order today. Just need to wait for the newt batch of 380x90 handlebar !
I paid 767 USD for the frame + BB + extra rear mech hanger + shipping to EU.
I will post some pictures when I will get my hand on the frame  :)
I just the size will be ok (Im 170 and took the size 52).

decals? Aren't decals simply stickers that typically have a logo on them? How would they change the complete bike color?

"Decals" is a bit of an ambiguous term. They can mean "just" stickers that you actually just stick on your frame (and can remove them without much hassle/anybody noticing). They could also be stenciled decals that you apply on the frame during painting process and be removed at the end to have the name/logo/symbol painted on the frame. Like you would have with the names of all major manufacturers.

I eventually went down the lane of a full custom painting with decals and all. Was good fun messing around with colors and styles. Attached is a mockup I built myself to present my idea to velobuild. I also included the font and the logo as PNG for them to print. Let's see if the final result will look anything like I imagined it :D

 Ya, I been looking at all the bike pics seems everyone is doing either the corsa or the Continental Grand Prix 5000

And for good reason, I might add. If you're looking for max bang for the buck, I found that Schwalbe's Ones (a tad more durable) and Pro Ones (super fast but fragile) are often cheaper than Conti and Vittoria and are still on par with the best. Pricing might depend on your country and distributor, though. Same goes for the Tufo Calibra Plus. That's one hell of a fast and light tire, but a bit fragile. I'm based in Germany, so German tire brands are cheap here and so is Tufo, being a Czech brand (which is actually made in Czech Republic in contrast to all the others who are actually producing in the Far East).

If anyone has a good source for these type of decals please share. I searched etsy but the ones which look cooler are not decals but frame protectors, and I'd rather have proper cut decals than a 'big partially transparent sticker'

Hello,
I just want to ask how to mount rear XTR postmount caliper (disk brake rotor size 160mm) to that frame? I have such a adapter https://bike.shimano.com/en-EU/product/service-upgradeparts/shimano/ISMMAR160PDH.html but on first try it doesn't look like it fits.

Kind regards,
Wojtek

Its a 160 mm flatmount Frame so you Need another adapter. I dont know if there is one for flatmount 160 to pm 160

I completely agree that some decals can completely change the look of a plain black frame. A plain frame in a single color looks unfinished or lacking, similar to a car without a badge. Therefore, I appreciate some design.

Regarding the image you linked, it seems like the white and blue stripes in the back of the frame are painted? I'm not entirely sure, but could you stretch the vinyl around such curves?

Im at around 22.000 shifts. Another ride in torrential rain the other day. Still fine. Battery life is very good. I’m on my 4th charge IIRC.

I pulled the trigger on the FE-02. Should be here in 2 weeks. I'll post up some pics when it gets here. This'll be my first full carbon bike. I'm going to put a dropper and some 29x2 tires on it.

Did 2.0 tires fit for you?  I'm wondering if 2.2s might squeeze in there.
