Welcome to the forum. That photo was taken by me since it's my bike...

There is dedicated thread for the CX-002 frameset. A little bit of effort to search beforehand goes a long way.

And I thank you for that photo. BTW I discovered your vlog after I posted the question, thank you for making that. I’ll head over to that corner of the forum, as I am seeing this one is already getting toxic for my taste. Was not my intention in the least.

Well, this thread has provided a wealth of info and several evenings worth of reading.thank you all. I am nearly sold on doing my first Velo build, and I am so stoked that I’ll be attempting two builds, one with the 168 frame and one with the CX-002.  Am I crazy? We shall see.  The entry point for these frames is hard to pass, specially when you consider that the industry has just run amok with their pricing. I’ll be posting here periodically on the progress.

A question about sizes on the 168.  On my current specialized Tarmac Elite (circa 2007) I am a solid 56. The chart for the SL 7 has my as a 58 (i am 182 placing me squarely at the low end of the 58 size). Does that compute with folks here? Your thoughts appreciated.
