Do you have the link to the manufacturer website and possibly more pictures?
Geo looks very nice.

Looks very similar to my TanTan X38 but with a different fork and saddle mount clamp. Not sure if that's good or bad because I didn't really enjoy the way that frameset rode.

Winow's frames sure do look identical to Workswell frames.

They also have the Hygge Model S frame. My guess would be they make the frames and Hygge is a reseller with better paint jobs.

I don't think a single bike on that website has a geo table or price tag. And most of the links don't work eiher. Incredible what you can do these days

The overall outline looks the same, but I like the intersection fork/downtube better on the Scott Foil or X38. On the other hand, this seatpost/sadleclamp looks better than on the X38.

Also, you say you didn't like the ride of the X38. I remember you posting (somewhere) that you were gonna give the X38 a second chance, because I think you took it apart quite soon because you needed the groupset for another build. Still planning a second build of the X38?


(I'm asking because it's high on my rader. Can't really decide between Ican A40, the TanTan X30 of the Velobuild VB-268.... I think the last has the most positive reviews, but I like the looks of the other better)

fwiw, i built 2 winow and 2 long tengs. especially around the BB area, the long teng had more consistent tolerances, as both BB entered with the same constant force, whereas the winow was less consistent. i have ridden my LT a lot, and only c.200km one of the winows, but honestly with my eyes closed i dont think i can tell them apart, felt nice, fast and stiff, so i guess i can recommend winow. Terry isn't the best at replying to emails either, but he does end up replying.
that new frame looks cool.

They have more pictures on their Insta page.

Anyone else experience with Window so far? I think I would like to give it a try.

Was it a press fit BB ? Here is T47.

Correct, press fit. Unusual format too. Ofc w T47 you shouldn't have an issue, but my point is around finish quality, attention to detail and so on. With winow I wouldn't expect too much. It's probably good enough though. Whether it's worth paying more for another brand for perceived extra peace of mind is going to be subjective.

those super thick seatposts just look painful to me these days
It’s so clearly a LARP of an aero bike.
