Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Another Aethos clone coming soon UDH/T47
« on: March 19, 2025, 01:56:08 PM »
I don't understand how this is a clone any more than every single round tube alu era bike was a clone of, idk, a CAAD3? The Aethos looks like every non-aero frame of the last 30 years and vice versa!

Hambini is EXACTLY the type of person I would expect to make something like that up.

It's fun to have a light, snappy bike that fills you with nostalgia for the period when you first started riding without all the downsides bikes from that era possess. Having a race bike with all the aero fixings is great for days where you need to go fast, but for the vast majority of rides -- even for very serious, competitive athletes -- marginal gains don't matter. On those days having a bike that makes you smile is worth infinitely more than 10w in a Tour test.

Aren’t the black inc wheels an RD270-esque hub and commodity rim anyways? I say get some novelty logos on Wheelsfar or something from Peter.

In my infinite (lack of) wisdom, I did not pester Kitty about adding the plate they are shipping with the new HB052 to actually _mount_ these things to. Does anyone have a suggestion for brackets that might work and attach to the 25mm bolt spacing stackers that have come with the TT912 and TT119 previously? It looks closest to the Vision TFE/TFA extension adapters, but I don't believe those have the appropriate bolt spacing.

Totally depends on the seller/store which one are you referencing?

I’m referring to a legit Factor frame, not the copies. As weighed though and based on the previous posts, I would expect the high end v2 to be competitive.

Just saw a build thread on WW with weights listed for a sz 54 v2 in glossy black.

Frame was 927 including bottle bolts and both hangers, 476g for the fork. These frames really aren't far off…

Kitty, any update on 390mm length availability? I see them listed on AE but stock has remained zero for weeks.

At current prices I would go with the Velobuild TT-023 paired with the new Winow Basebar+Extensions.

I'd be happy to sell you my old extensions and clamps when the shorter FastTT clones become available. Have both 0º and 15º, even.

Will drag2zero's work for you?

Dissapointed to hear it'll be that long - doing a 500k during the Xmas-New Year's break and was hoping to have these and dialed in before then.

The Profile Design Supersonic is compatible with their riser kits.

Kitty, any update on when the size M might be available?

Can anyone confirm whether there is an eyelet for securing a fender near the BB/chainstays?

Nevermind, it is very clearly there in Tantan's photos.

Have you looked at the GV201? Very long front centre while maintaining a low stack height. Has fork crown fender mount + six pack eyelets and rack/fender mounts on the rear -- you'll just need a solution for the seatstay bridge like Santa Cruz offers for the stigmata: https://shop.santacruzbicycles.com/collections/shop-stigmata-small-parts/products/fender-mount-kit-stig-3-quincy-1
