...so jealous to see the color I wanted on all these bikes now

Didn't you have the plan to replace your 505 with a new one...?
Also Gravel bikes look awesome in raw carbon ..

I think ssparks and me even decided for the same decal color style. Only for the fork i went with rockshox in black with silver decals.

Mine are the diy route using my kids' Cricut machine. Pretty entertaining to just download cool fonts and just create a totally new style and theme for the bike using different sticker vinyl colors.

I own a Cameo 4. And I used some high glossy metal shinevinyl from Ali that had a color flip from yellowish to silver to blue.
yeah this is pretty awesome stuff to create on your own. Meanwhile I am thinking of gold or copper brushed vinyl design for next year.

Finished.

Nice build, but you definitely should move the back light to some other place rather than keeping it on your dropper's stanchion.

Complete. First ride and video coming soon (eventually).

Awesome color! Are you using inner tube in your front tire? And if no, how does non-TR tire holds pressure?

No tube, just a liberal amount of Stans. Holds pressure fine.

After some back and forth with Adam at Carbonda, they've agreed to replace my linkage with a new painted one and the set of double bearings that are stuck in it.  They just want me to cut the old one when I install the new one.  Will report back when I receive it ... hopefully this time painted without the bearings in it

I keep seeing riders purchasing FM909s but when will someone post a decent review of how these frames perform.   Flexy? Stiff? handling?  I wonder how a large frame would hold up to a 210+ rider....

Looks pretty awful to me, and even without taking into account color scheme. Triathlon saddle and non-dropper post are definitely not the right parts for this frame.

Vulkor isn't a triathlon saddle.  A lot of people run them on MTB as well as road / gravel.

They sent it out today.  Also sent photos showing it with the big double bearings installed and no wads of clearcoat in the gap.  Probably have it around the new year.  Will report back then.

Does someone have picture of upper bearing inner spacer, that one with hole for cables? I'm thinking about 3Dprinting custom high top cap with holes to route dropper and derailleur cables through the headset.
