Today finally made my first test ride!
Bit of a shame it was wet roads, so immediately made the new bike dirty

As for how it rides. I can't judge that well to be honest.
It was only a 40km ride with wet roads windy and my fitness was a bit more crap then it used to be in my last ride 4 months ago.
Also, I don't have much for reference, mainly previous bike, aluminium Canyon endurance disc.

But first impression was good!
Things I think I noticed (although might be deu to being excited on Riding the new bike )

Felt like a bit better acceleration.
Frame did feel more comfortable then my alu bike.
Stiffness while sprinting and pushing on the pedals felt solid, not flexy.
Stiffness of handlebar felt not more flex when standig still. So tested it with some sprints, but felt good and not noodlely on de road.

Other then that couldn't really tell anything else. I felt more aero, but that's probably just because it looks more aero 

I was playing a bit with the top cap and this aluminium top cap from Aliexpress looks neater than the provided one IMO (and save 11gr.), just in case it is interesting for someone.

One question for NLD or other members with integrated cabing:
I have no experience with the FSA nr55r headset. Is normal this space between last spacer and frame as in the first pic? It looks like half a mm too much. I think I mounted it right, will check later more in detail.

BB is not yet installed, plan to do that tomorrow!
Will try to mount it (Shimano pressfit BB)  dry.

Oeh, that topcap looks much better! Nice and flush!
I'll also order one

On the headset, I don't have other experiences.
But for sure needs to be not touching the frame, otherwise it will rub into the frame.

More or less same here!

Headtube looks bit less nice at mine
Although the chamfer edge is smooth

BB inside face is smooth and looks ok.
BB Outside face on non drive side also looks like a bit rushed with tape/paint...
The BB dive side outside face actually looks good. That side looks flattened.

Disc brake mount surface looks rushed with masking of paint.

Inside looks good as far as I can see. (And outside with the carbon clear coat)
Also I like the small carbon tube in chainstay and fork to route the brake hose and avoid rattling
(maybe that's on all bikes... This is my first frame!

The outside screw side of fork is also not painted. Looks intentional.
Maybe branded frames (i.e. Adria) adds a plastic cap here? same as canyon bikes do.
Or are there other type of truaxles which intend to use this for clamping? 
I'll probably try to find a thin plastic endcap for it.


btw, not sure if relevant to ...
Inside the frame and some other parts the stickers state FB-B52

Looks really great!! Its the glossy version?

Ordered:
UD carbon clear gloss frame
UD carbon clear matt seat & handlebar

Looks great!
What size is it?

565

Here first pic!

First impression looks really nice! 
Will post weights and clearance little later!

Same story here!
Arrived 27th at the Netherlands, but i am also away for holidays...

Will return 5th so can probably provide pictures 6th!

Hi,
I had no idea they do not send to Germany anymore. Why?
My frame arrived to Germany on the 24th od Dec but I had left already for Xmas vacation.
DPD left it on my stairs and had to contact the neighbour to store it until the 9th on January.
I will post pics and weights once I am back… looking forward already.

My frame should be shipped 2nd half of this month! Can't wait now
I do already got my groupset now... Also went with 105 di2 with ultegra cassette and disc rotors.
Was really on the fence weather to chose for SRAM or Shimano,
but after doubting too long just picked 105...
24mm axle, bigger chainring (looks better for large frame size imo), i could keep my current wheelset hub and my current 105 R7000 never failed me!
Do think the AXS completely wirelessness is really appealing...

Just got a quote! glad to see the max tire clearance is just a tad bigger. Gonna place the order anytime soon. Im Curious which size you guys got? Im still not sure wether to get a 510 or 535, seems like my regular size (55) is right in between.

I went with 565 frame.
I think mainly checked top tube and stack height compaired to my previous bike.
And asked for the maximum seat post length, was max 350mm if I'm correct.
