Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Winspace C5 AERO reviews? - not regular C5

Does anyone have experience with the C5 Aero? I couldn't really find any reviews online. I'm helping a friend build a new bike and we're trying to decide between the C5 and C5 Aero. They will be upgrading from a 2014 CAAD10 and are looking for a good bike that will last a long time. They love racing but in reality, the vast majority of the bike's miles will be done on outdoor training rides and joy rides. We live in an area that is pretty hilly, but there's some decent flat riding options too. Winspace says the aero version is actually lighter than the regular version because they used higher end carbon. Personally I don't have experience riding purely aero bikes... but I bet riding the aero version would be really fun. I'm just not sure if it's the bike for a go-to joy ride by a smaller, 58-60kg rider.

i personally will go for the normal c5 just because it is cheaper and more compliant but the claimed weigh savings of the c5 aero(if true) might sway me towards it.

Has ICAN confirmed if the FL1 is EPS molded or not?

just a curious question. is EPS molding that superior to the previous methods? or is it just a refinement. can i expect an EPS frame to be lighter, stronger, stronger or???

Weight vs 105s

curious why the comparison with 105 11s mech. It would be more impressive and relevant to compare against 105/Ultegra Di2?

but anyway, very impressive weights. The group is actually lighter than Ultegra 12s Di2. I hope it is priced around 105 fdi2 pricepoint. At that price, I am willing to try it out.

At least one paint scheme that doesn’t scream LOUD AND PROUD would have been nice.
Other than that it’s a pretty cool frame. The weight is pretty impressive for a frame with „only“ T700/800 and aero tube shapes like that, I think.

Also the price and the geometry are both in the sweet spot. I’m really looking forward to seeing reviews. I think this could be very popular.

think they got the weight down with using a bit of the "M" carbon sheets like in the SLC3. but it is pretty impressive still for it being mainly T800 assume 900g is real weight (chinese frames almost always lie a bit on the weight).

personally, i am disappointed that the stack is not a bit more (for size M) but nothing a extra spacer or two cant solve.

Curious qn: Does Winspace make their own proprietary designs/frames or this is from some other factory custom painted and rebranded?
