Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc! Some fovno cranksets have had tolerance issues. But like most things Ali, you may get a solid one, or a dud.

Re: TanTan / Seraph new frame... GR047 That’s not bad looking at all. What size is it? I might see if they can cut a deal.

Traditional cable routing options???? I'm wanting to build up a gravel bike but would really prefer not routing through the headtube. Maybe I just need to get with the times and accept thats the new norm?

I was first thinking an alu Seaboard frame but its limited to 42mm tires, and after shipping its pretty close to the carbon options. The only traditional routing offerings with good tire clearance seem to be the flyxii fe-02 or carbonda 696. Significant price difference between these two. Flyxii comes out to about $500, and the 696 just about $800.

Are there other options I'm missing?

How about Chasing wind GT20 with either BB386 press fit or new also with T47 bottom bracket:

I routed the cables outside to keep the radiuses gentle for hydro/mechanical breaks and easy maintenance.
Very happy with the frame so far. Tires up to 700x45 in my case riding with 700Cx38 and plenty of room left in the frame.

Here a picture:

I had seen this in the other thread, but the geo puts me oddly between sizes. Ended up pulling the trigger on the flyxii.

Re: IIIPRO E4 4-Piston Hydraulic MTB Brakes - Are they to be trusted? You don't get the fancy colors, but for not much more you can get shimano brakes.

Re: LTWOO RX hydro sets Someone on Trace Velo's post shared their experience and that they're using Ltwoo shifters with grx derailleurs.

Good luck with the build! Post photos. The frameset did not include handlebar or you chose not to?

Thanks! Its going to be a slow process. Just realized frame probably won't be here til end of February or so. I'll use this time to figure out what drivetrain I want to use. Leading toward GRX or Sram Apex 1x. If the Ltwoo hydro stuff gets a price drop I might still entertain that option, but at its current price point its just not worth the risk/hassle.

This is an older model frame with standard cable routing, so no proprietary handlebar/stem/headset. That's really the main reason I chose this frame.

Re: Flyxii FE-02 Build Frame arrived today! Box was a little banged up but frame is in perfect condition. Frame, fork, axles, headset, spare hanger, seatpost clamp were all well packaged.

Toseek stem and seatpost came in a few days ago as well. Slight dimple on the stem faceplate. I’ll keep an eye on it after the build, but I don’t think it’s a big deal.
