I have had this frame for around a year and put well over 5000miles on it. It has survived some pretty long bikepacking races with functionally no maintenance. Ridden hard and crashed many times, the paint is chipped but everything still works. Overall I like this frame quite a lot, it has a tendency to sound a bit hollow and rattly on descents.
I have had 2 issues.
1. I have had is a deep groove cut into the spindle of a sram crankset by the bottom bracket. I originally assumed it was a misaligned bottom bracket but I think it may have been my fault with not fully tightening the pinch bolt on the cranks as I have replaced it and not had any other issues or signs of wear.
2. The cable routing in the headset is sharp and puts a pretty tight angle on any cables that run through it. I have had a dropper cable slowly become damaged, it is certainly a bit short and a hard bar spin in a crash did some damage to the cable.
Parts have come and gone on this bike. I ran it rigid with drops for a bit, then drops with 120mm sid ultimate, I have now had it in flat bar with a kocvelo integrated bar stem for a while and I like it best this way. For races that need aero bars I put on a salsa flat carbon bar.
