Tideace sends 52x40x7 for top and bottom. But I would not recommend these ones as bearings and screws likely start to rust.

Any recommendations for better headset?

Anyone know how long it normally takes when going with custom paint? Put in my order around two weeks ago. Hoping I get the frame before going on a bike trip in Italy in three weeks.

Also, anyone have any experience with the HB012 bars? http://tantancycling.com/index.php?_m=mod_product&_a=view&p_id=1070 They look a lot like the 3t Superghiaia's, which I would love but are way to expensive. The HB012 come in at 1/6th of the price.

I just ordered and was told 169 was the correct lenght. Jessi sent a photo of it too, with 169 printed on the axle.

That combination works perfect. I am running X01 T-type derailleur, GX T-type casette, GX T-type chain, SRAM DUB BB, Sram Wide Road Rival Crankset.
I had the same concerns with chainline, but some of it is fixes itself as a road/gravel rear axle is 142mm while a MTB is 148mm.
So the chainline difference is "just" around 4,5mm in reality and the shifting is absolutely flawless. Can backpedal in all gears.

Have attached a few pictures from different stages of the build process.
Have had it on the road a few times but still haven't decided on stem height :D

How is that stem for you? Considering going for the same.

Just about made up my mind for this frame, down to the custom paint job. Before I pull the trigger I have a few questions.

I'm a tall dude, and still a little heavy, 193 with long legs and about 100 kgs now (though aiming for 95ish before the season starts up here), and size 47 shoes. Kind of worried about toe overlap so am considering 165 or 170 mm cranks (always rode 175). This should also help with my angles, not having my knees bump my stomach while riding in the drops. Are there any negative consequenses I should keep in mind? The frame should have no prolem with 125 kgs I assume? (Bikepacking during summer).

Can anyone recommend a good BB from Ali (around $50 tops)?

I have that one in 11-46 11 speed actually. Ordered during a sale this fall but never got to install it before winter (Scandinavia).

Recived now. Works flawless straight out of the box. We'll see when I install it. Still deciding on frame. Same breaks as Garza, same mounting as the GR9 ones. As long as they fit confidently on the fork on the new bike, no problem. Think I'll try findiing replacement charge and connection cables, would suck to f one up and wait for weeks for a replacement.

Any suggestions for replacement pulley wheels? 11 speed gravel cassettes?

Can recommend the Speeder Cycling gravel bar with FSA ACR. You just need the change the top bearing because of the different angle (36 degrees). C ring sits nice and flush with the top cap. The gap is about 0,5 mm and retaining collars from bar to the c ring so nothing can move.

Thanks. Looking for seperate stem and bars but integrated cabling. Will probably go with the Superbox and my current bars.

No, 1,5" to 1 1/8". See the Deda Specs here: https://dedaelementi.com/media/wysiwyg/dcr-tech/DCR_D-SHAPE_Fork_Technology_v1.pdf

Sorry, 1/8th is what I meant. Ok, thanks!

I would suggest a DCR Superbox as you plan to use a Deda Bar. You just need the c ring: https://www.tradeinn.com/bikeinn/de/deda-kompressionsring-fur-dcr-system/138244301/p?srsltid=AfmBOopIZXGT-u7D2k-0OMeY5cQ_thyeEufLTwOtE90FNPyjLvG7m4O_

Thanks! Ok, so that means the steerer tube is 1 1/4"?

If they're anything like my GR9 then they're neither but Ltwoo's own standard, to avoid paying Shimano. 73 mm (I think). They came with mounting hardware but not one that would work on my current fork, and several others have also had the same issue. We'll see. I would not be that annoyed having to get some Ultegra calipers used or something like that.

Listing on Tantans website says 1-1/2" 52MM x 2 for the headset but no mention of the fork. When I asked I was told this was also 1 1/2". Can anyone confirm this? If so, can someone recommend me a nice stem (integrated or semi integrated)? Was planning on going with a Deda Vinci and my own handlebars.

My eGR arrived a week or so ago. Calipers look similar to my GR9 ones. Spacing seems to be 70mm on both gr9 and eGR. Was GR9 originally flat mount?

Here’s a pic of the battery it came with…even though I selected the no battery option.

EDIT: It seems the mounting hardware is different from GR9 to eGR. Not sure if that's what makes it post mount instead of flat.

Here's to hoping. The listing specifically said post mount. Also great news about the battery. Hopefully mine comes with one too.

I just ordered a eGr from 80s Designer Store, looking forward to it arriving as I've been contemplating ordering since release.

Has anyone ordered the latest version and can confirm that it comes with post nount calipers? A very strange change to make in 2024 if you ask me. Been runing gr9 for a year so I know all about their issues with their own bolt scheme. Maybe I'll just go with some Shimanos this time.

Anyone know what design the 14500 batteries should have? (piece sticking out or flat)

Any other recommendations when installing?
