Rinasclta Granite Aero "All Road" Bike Frameset So I have one of these coming my way. Attached is a photo from the factory

https://rinascltabike.com/granite-aero-disc-road-frame/

-Geometry is more road than gravel
-I ordered a size M/54
-No integrated handlebars, will be using my tried and true FSA NO.69/SRS headset to route the cables.
-700c*38mm max tires size
-While I have an actual gravel bike (Yoeleo G21), it's mostly overkill around here.
-Chose unpainted in order to inspect any flaws, lower the production time, and I genuinely enjoy painting my own frames.

I asked if they share this frame with any other brands, and their response was:
"We share the frame mold with only one friend across internet"

Obviously it's Airwolf since the photos are identical on both websites.

Will keep you posted...

Re: Rinasclta Granite Aero "All Road" Bike Frameset Not my photos, but from a fellow YouTube viewer. ICAN Aero 50 wheels. Size 58 frame.

Considering I ordered a size 54 (I'm 6ft / 183cm) I'm gonna assume he's about 6'3"  :o

Re: Rinasclta Granite Aero "All Road" Bike Frameset My Granite frame is complete.

Paint: This is arguably my best paint job to date. It's a mix of chameleon green/purple paint, 3D glitter paint, and a 2K clear coat applied liberally. Rattle-can paint performs the worst in cold weather, so I kept the cans sitting in hot water between coats. This really helped prevent orange peel and paint drip.

Internal routing: As always, the FSA no69 headset system is a gamechanger. However, the supplied set of carbon handlebars isn't really designed for routing 4 cables (2 hydraulic + 2 mechanical shift). I ended up not using them. My go-to bars have always been both the carbon and alloy aero bars from Prime Bike Components. Makes handlebar routing a breeze and the ergonomics are TOP TIER. Sadly this frame uses the terribly designed front derailleur port similar to VeloBuild. This alone will probably be the reason I stick with Sram eTap going forward like I have with my previous two builds.

Only gotten a chance to ride it up/down the block to get sone photos. Will report back after a few rides.

-Size 54
-Weight: 7.9kg w/o pedals

Re: Rinasclta Granite Aero "All Road" Bike Frameset 38c Pathfinder Pro tires at 45 psi. I reckon you could fit 40c tires under the following circumstances:

1- No front derailleur...1x setup
2- On non-super muddy roads only.

Amazing how this pretty frame looks as nice with gravel as with road tires :-) I love the vittoria corsa 28c and always wanted to test the 32c version ; now I’m also curious about the gp5000.  Thank you so much for sharing all that great stuff!

Thanks for the kind words. I would say the geometry overall is closer to an endurance road frame. Maybe just a tad longer. Pretty accessible bike fit for most people.

Re: Rinasclta Granite Aero "All Road" Bike Frameset My Rinasclta Granite has already done a 4 hour road race earlier this month. Passed the test easily.
The race profile consisted of tarmac, rough roads, packed gravel, and muddy trail sections...all during 30mph crosswinds and sleet/rain.

I ran 32c GP5000s TR S at 65psi. Worked very well. Could have probably even used 30c because the frame overall is fantastic when the roads get bad.

Re: Airwolf YFR068 - 2023 Gravel Frame I have now received my wheels.

2023 Ryet Gravel Carbon Wheelset with 36t rachet style hub. They weigh in at 1490g which is approx. 60g heavier than the quoted 1430+/-30g.
30mm wide hookless rim and 38mm deep.
They were well packaged and seem well finished. Came with tape installed and 2 spare spokes and 2 spare nipples.

Now just waiting on final parts to arrive so I can commence my build. Should have everything within the next 1-2 weeks.

Will be built with a mix of Shimano 12 speed Di2:
- Ultegra levers, brakes, 50/34 compact crankset
- 105 front and rear derailleurs

Already have 11-30t and 11-34t Ultegra cassettes which I'll use initially and grab a 105 11-36t when they are available.

Tyres wise I ended up purchasing Pirelli Cinturato Gravel H in 35mm width. I was a bit concerned about clearance and the potential for front derailleur to further decrease clearance. When these turn up I will mount to wheels and measure clearance.
