I have tracking numbers for the extra carbon (with aluminum brake track) wheels, stem and handlebar, bottle cages, lights, tool bottle, headset expander kit, etc... and those are in transit ... but coming from China or Italy, I just don't know when exactly they will be here...

I am waiting for shipping and tracking confirmation to that integrated handlebar that I ordered from DHGate... nothing on that yet.

Edit: Got the tracking number today from DHGate, woohoooo!! It means that it is still a bit of a wait, but at least I have the tracking number confirming that is being picked up for shipping

So I now have all tracking information for the parts I am waiting on.

A few more parts arrived. Nothing that I can install on the bike for now...

Let's fill this up...

Bottle cages arrived yesterday... installed and tool kit in place.

Quote from: Maelochs;19709109Do the bars come with the cool areo spacers?

Yes... but not as nice as the original units. I am guessing that if you have not seen the original ones, these would not look bad at all... but I did... so sticking with the ones I already have.

Stock/original on the right.

Spacers match at the front... but shaped bit different at the opposite end. Here you can see the difference. Original spacer on top.

These are the spacers and cover included with the handlebar

and the handlebar

Tires also arrived... these came with the adapter for the bottom bracket and the extra rear hanger that I had requested. All this goes to storage for now.

Wheels and tires mounted. Also placed the bike on the rack resting on the center post just to be able to take the photo with the rear light as well... removing light and holding the bike again by seat post.

I am riding the first build...

I did my first 20 miles ride! Not focused on the speed for now... trying to maintain cadence at around 80... my speed is around 14 mph...

This second one is still waiting on a few parts to arrive. A few more things came in over the weekend... trying to decide what to go with as far as the handlebar... the handlebar for this original Most stem has not arrived...

Or just go with this replica integrated handlebar... mount adapter install along with the Wahoo Bolt and the Most light...

That's great! How does the other bike ride? Do you have any climbs you can do?
You are dropping some serious coin on this build. Looks like you'll have enough extra parts to start a third bike.
You're doing great getting started.
Tell me what you think of the Wahoo. I have their heart rate monitor and it is constantly disconnecting. I'm going back to Garmin.

Ok... so the second one took awhile to finish... between work, family, etc... I have been using the first bike built... but needed to finish this one so that my son can join me in the rides. Well, finally got around to cutting the fork, installing everything... just need to adjust it so all gears shift correctly...

You both will have a blast together with these bikes

It would be very interesting you try an F10 one day and compare.

Whats the total weight on the 2nd bike? Looks really nice man. Do you know the name of the supplier, all I found in the post was China (Taiwan), any specifics?

I initially found them on eBay but their listing was removed for obvious reasons... now I just email the seller directly. That is how I ordered the second frame. Payment is done via PayPal.

I have not weighted the second bike... Now that everything is installed I will do that and post results.

Do you recommend the bars you've got ?
I've some integrated bars that I ordered back in 2016 however they are flexy and I'm having problems running the cables as the holes are tight and I can't bring the shifter to a higher position.
If you like yours, can you share a link for them ?

Sorry... link to it no longer works... but it has worked well so far... I know that does not help without a link where you can get it... sorry...
