I just recently found out ChinerTown logo has some similarity with that of Worldwide Cyclery. Not saying it's wrong.

I was charged for DHL shipping which I was told would take 4 to 5 days. I hope that's correct as I'm a bit excited to get it here. The rims still haven't shown up so no riding it for a bit.

The DHL shipping from China to my country was pretty close to the 4-5 days, 6 days iirc. But I live in Asia. It was the local DHL that bore the COVID-19 delay... by about a month or so. If I didn't call them after week 3, it would have taken longer.

Where do you guys all get wheels and the other parts?

For specific brands, I get them from the local bike shops. For bargain stuffs, AliExpress, eBay, Laxada (like AliExpress but localize) and local Facebook bike groups.

The bike looks fantastic! Why do you not like the stem?

I actually liked the stem because it only have one-bolt to adjust the hb. But aesthetically speaking, the blueish-grey color felt off. I'm also planning to sell the 780mm CB Opium 3 bar and it would fetch a better price with the stem.

Man! Those twin top tubes that formed the seatstays looks pretty awesome.   :D

I like it! How does it ride?

Mine still isn't finished.  >:(

I replaced by hb with my old 700mm CB Iodine 3 and also replaced my 38T cr with the, literally just arrived while I was swapping the hb, Stone 34T NW oval chainring. Did a couple of loops around the neighborhood to dial in the cockpit configurations. And boy, I loved the fit! Just perfect.

If weather permits, me and a friend will go trail riding tomorrow morning. I'll be sure to report the ride.

Fit was spot on, except for the handlebar length that made it feel a bit awkward.

Finally done.

The front hub's rotor attachment point is a bit wide. The 180mm rotor have a very narrow clearance from the fork. Barely rubbing the fork.

3 things that are likely to change.
1. Chainring, the 38T temp is tight, barely fit. Coz I moved a spacer to the non-drive side. See pic.
2. The 780mm handlebar might have to go, it's just too wide for my taste.
3. The stem might go, more for aesthetic reason.

Been enjoying the single speed setup while waiting for parts of the 29er to arrive.

Hahaaa, yeah those color schemes are addictive.

Do the colors match from their various products?

Can't say, I got different brands actually. Couldn't find other purple ZTTO that I liked.

Get those cranks! Haha

It would look sweet.

Sigh... hahaha. I'll think about it again when I'm done with the 29er. Need to focus.
