1) steerer is nice and smooth most of the way, but contains a nest of loose ends at the bottom.
Hard to capture without a scope, but is this normal?
2) There appears to be a void or delamination at the top of the tube (right by my thumb)
I mean, this will be cut, but is that an indicator of overall quality?
3) These weird irregularities near the fork. Not gouges, but indents. Probably nothing.
4) looks like a bit of a hack job drilling the brake line hole. Probably not an issue. Just ugly
1. I do found this in some low quality carbon part like seatpost and handlebar, and i have had some carbon bike with big brand, they doesn't has this but pretty sure it won't be problem but correct me if i'm wrong
2 & 3 . shouldn't be problem hopefuly , i will get back at you later, i'm getting mine today let me see mine
4. Thank God it's hidden
Yeah the wait for the frame is a killer, I think I'm coming close to 2 months now and it's still awaiting paint and custom decals.
Which seatpost did you order? I can't find any chiner ones and the official SL7 posts are upwards of €200!
2 month and still awaiting paint? mine finished in 1 month and today i'm picking up the frame but i do hope nothing get wrong in the box , i do reccomend to try getting an update every week from chris ,
