Re: Hygge Aero Carbon Frame My frame arrived on Friday and I built it up over the weekend.

First impressions are great, paint quality seems nice and internal finishing also looks nice.

Still waiting on Elitewheels Edge wheelset being delivered to finish properly.

Re: Hygge Aero Carbon Frame
@stevenC what 3d printed saddle are you using in your bike? The color looks amazing! Is that a custom color?


On my end i ordered a chameleon model S. Should be here early March and they were apparently out of stock so needs an extra week to build/paint the frame. They offered me other colors that were pretty ugly (but more expensive free of charge but I'm in no rush). Going to be building this with a 105 di2 from theproscloset during the close out sale last year.

Colour was available on their AliExpress store but the colour choices seem to have been narrowed down now. It looks great in the flesh, quite a bit of sparkle to it in the sun.

Re: Hygge Aero Carbon Frame
I spent a day umming and ahhing over which colourway to go with and after seeing your bike, I bit the bullet and ordered the same. I think my build will be exactly the same as yours except for I've opted for mechanical ultegra as my goal was to keep total build under £1200 which seem pretty mental given current bike prices.  My last build was a Supersix HM in 2018 so I'm keen to see how cheap Chinese bike frame compare to older high end stuff.

How is it holding up? Did you have any QC issues ( paint over spray, irregular or non concentric thru axle holes, seat post slipping?).

Also how does it ride? I get this is totally subjective but any feedback would be appreciated.

Rides great, stiff and aggressive but decently compliant. I’ve just fitted new wheels with 30mm tyres which helps.

Holding up well to the Scottish roads and weather so far.

I’ve not had any issues with the seatpost slipping. My main issues have been eliminating play in the headset, I replaced the steered plug with one from Specialized and it seems much better. I’m also in the process of replacing a few of the bolts as the supplied ones are a bit soft and rust super quickly. A nice excuse to replace with some titanium.

I would say routing the cables for a mechanical groupset will be tricky. Di2 made for a very easy build.

It’s a great value frameset, no regrets from me so far.
