My D60CU-31 T1100 20/20H UD matt with 5.0mm carbon spokes are built and on their way

Peter has been a pleasure to deal with and all of my incessant questions about different options

Can’t wait to ride them!

So after all the help from this forum I ordered my frame on 5th march in chameleon green and it arrived on 10th April

I’m building it up with Ultegra Di2 - these are go zone 30mm rims for when it’s wet and windy and I’ve a set of carbon speed D60CU-31 T1100 wheels on the way

Will keep you updated on the build and a complete breakdown when I’m finished

Very impressed so far and the paint job looks amazing

I took some pictures for you. I‘m running 28 mm tires but as you can see they actually measure 30.9 mm. As you can see on the picture there’s around 3 mm clearance between tire and chainstays (non drive side). On the drive side there’s slightly more clearance. Fork and seatstays offer >1 cm of clearance.

That's amazing thanks!  I was thinking of the 33mm wide xmcarbonspeed rims - do you think they would be too wide?

Long time lurker and first time poster here...  I am building a new bike having got back into cycling a couple of years ago using my old Planet X (purchased in 2009) and its time for an upgrade.

Having been trawling through this forum for the past 6 months umming  and ahhing about what to buy, thanks to these posts I finally decided to bite the bullet and order this frame in chameleon green (I know the spcycle paint can be a bit hit and miss but really wanted something in chameleon green and there was another post with the R065 in chameleon green that I really liked the look of) - will keep you updated on any progress with the order...

Before I order the wheels I was wondering if anyone has a photo of the wheel/tyre clearance both front and rear? I know it says 32c but what is the clearance like?

Thanks
