Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: My Winspace T1500 build
« on: March 02, 2023, 04:56:28 PM »
This is my WinspaceT1500 build.
Weight without pedals 7.8kg with framesize L. With my MTB double-sided pedals with cage comes at 8.15kg (personal preference).
Build details:
1. Ultregra Di2 8170
2. Hunt 44 Aerodynamicist wheels
3. Custom 3D printed cable routing system. Unfortunately FSA N69 has not worked for me, it had larger bearing than needed and was 2-3mm wider from each side, looked pretty ugly as a mushroom, so I went with custom 3D printed solution.
I also did not want the original bar and stem combo because it does not provide any position fit possibilites, rather then removing spacers.
4. Lightweight UNO -17 degree 110 mm stem and aluminum Pro-Vibe handlebars.

Saddle is a test one, so definetely will be some changes here.

Any updates on this one Oleg? How was the warranty return experience?

So, good thing is that return is fully completed.
1. Money for the frame came immediately after I showed them post tracking.
Still I have lost 80 Euros on currency EUR-USD conversion from my credit card.
2. They have paid me return shipping, but after they have received the package, so 1 month later.

From that point of view, ICAN is a fair company. Peggy is also nice, but he can not handle the absence of QC in ICAN.
Timewise, I lost 1.5 month on handling the faulty frame. All in all, I went with Winspace T1500 frame, bought used. Now my LBS builds a bike for me.

You must be very good at building bikes and "gebugging" problem frames and at the same time have a lot of luck with that.
I had not enough, and my bike shop told me get out of with the trash frame - they were not going to build it.
Went with Winspace and used frame, since they are sold everywhere around the world till the new batch.

The dimension on the picture comes at 76 mm, so I assume I will have at least 7cm of fork left.
Normal stem is 4 cm, so in theory should be at least 3cm left..

Patrick,
sorry for the side question, will FSA NO.69/SRS work with Wispace frame T1500?
I want to run the cables under my 110mm -17 degree stem ( not integrated) but still hidden in the frame as much as I can.
Will it work out?

Check the sizing on Elves first, it is not usual if you want to go for full-blown aero frame.
I am in currently in return process for an ICAN frame. Other choices are Winspace ( T1500 or newer T1550 which will come around April) or Yoeleo.

Thanks for your opinions. I had a big hopes on A9 since it was a 1k frame, therefore should be better quality, but...
I will update how it goes with the warranty return.

My A9 is finally arrived. Video review will follow, but here are some things I have noticed, which I can not judge myself, especially in the headset area.

1.From the picture one can see it is a bit rough (where I marked red). Some discoloration does not bother me at all since it will not be visible anyways.
2. In the video one can see some freeplay between the headset and the bearing. It means, the frame is wider by probably 1mm. Both bearings tested, since I do not know which is the correct one. Do you think it is a reason for concern ?

Yes, I ment that "size down" plus very low bigger end, especially if you need 58-60 frame. I needed a racy 54cm, and the stack was too high for my liking

Strongly advise to check the geometry first. After I got that, decided in favor of Ican A9. Quote for that painted in chameleon color was 170 USD extra.

Have pulled the trigger and ordered ICAN A9 frame. The communication with Peggy was very nice, he could answer all my questions.
Ordered shipping to be scheduled on specific date. All in all with black friday discount was 1002 USD incuding shipping to Germany.
I will post here the pictures what I will get and hopefully the complete build.
