Can anyone identify this frame on Adrisport website?

Looks similar to Winspace T1500 /Speeder SC-R49D however the chainstay and downtube is slightly different.

Looks awesome, but the price is outrageous (if it's an open mold/shared frame).

My A9 is finally arrived. Video review will follow, but here are some things I have noticed, which I can not judge myself, especially in the headset area.

1.From the picture one can see it is a bit rough (where I marked red). Some discoloration does not bother me at all since it will not be visible anyways.
2. In the video one can see some freeplay between the headset and the bearing. It means, the frame is wider by probably 1mm. Both bearings tested, since I do not know which is the correct one. Do you think it is a reason for concern ?

For whatever it's worth...

Speeder is not a factory. It is also not a brand with a factory shareholder/ownership stake. They are an agent, at the mercy of whatever their factory(s) send them.

The frames could be overstock, larger brand QC rejects, factory allotment, or a mixture of all three.

However, when you're just an agent rather than a factory stakeholder...you accept liability for the frames without any recourse to the factory. For example a brand like Specialized or Trek can bully a factory or even take their business elsewhere if the produced frames don't meet the brand's QC. They can simply reject the frames and stop paying the factory.

An agent like Speeder doesn't have that level of power and control. They most likely would have to eat the costs.

I dropped my chain when downshifting on my road bike, and it got sucked between the chainring and chainstay. It wedged in there sideways and put some deep gouges in the carbon (after tearing off the aluminum protection plate). I suspect the damage is worse than just the gouges because there are some hairline cracks in the finish nearby, suggesting that it flexed quite a bit, and it fails the tap test.


I'm reaching out to Canyon to see what they will do for a crash warranty, but I'm curious as to whether damage like this would be repairable using a carbon repair kit.

After watching the Cam Nicholls video, am I the only one who doesn't think this bike looks fast? It looks like it was designed to have the appearance of being aero from the side profile, but clearly fails in several areas. The frontal profile on the head tube and fork is super chunky compared to the Falath Pro. Everyone knows frontal area=drag. There's also a lot of weird tube profiles, the seat tube and gusset have a really square frontal profile, and the top-down cross-section of the head-tube right behind the steerer doesn't really taper, instead terminating in a chunky square flat back like on a Trek Madone. This area of the head-tube is probably the most important part to make as narrow as possible since it gets the cleanest air. But then the downtube narrows and never widens again to shield the water bottle. It's backwards of what you want, which is narrow up top and a wider, flatter back down low to shield the bottle. I just don't get it. I'm not an aerodynamics expert but this bike seems to just violate a bunch of aero principles I know of. I wouldn't be surprised if the outgoing model is faster with bottles on.

That and it's heavy. I initially saw online rumors that the frame would be ~900gr. Now 400 grams over that? Even heavier than the outgoing model? I can't see this being popular.
