Update on my frame :
First contact made with Wendy on 06/04/25, with the frame arriving in 07/05/2025. Just over a month from first enquiry to arriving at my door in the UK seemed really quick.

At a glance, the frame looks good with all threaded/pressed faces machined and tidy. I had it painted in a solid yellow colour but the fork is noticeably brighter (almost luminous whereas the frame is not) but after speaking with Wendy she doesn't agree with me despite several people seeing the frame and agreeing there are two colours... Annoying but what can I do? This doesn't affect the performance.

The bike will be assembled with dura ace 9170 and scribe 60mm aero wide carbon clinchers and I'll post some photos when it's built.

Nice colorway! What size is this?

What were some issues assembling that you encountered? Did you bleed the brakes yourself?

Size 56

I didn't realize that bit of the RD had to sit on the the hanger like it does in the photo. After installing the chain there wasn't any tension and for longer than I care to admit, I didn't realize what the problem was.

Yes, I used the wrong adapter first, so a tiny amount spilled. Rest was fine.

Tools except for torque wrench and hex keys from AliX

Okay okay... A little spoiler.

But more really only after assembly.
Bottom bracket and wheels are still on the way  :D

A bit late to the party, but I´m looking with interest at the same frame.
How did you define and agree the painting scheme?
Thanks

P.S. I´m still reading this long thread...

The paint process was simple - give them a rough idea and they send you a vector of the frame with the scheme you want. You then say yes or no and then it's confirmed. I changed my mind after confirmation but was told it was too late.

Honestly I dont think u can fit 35 into the 017. I have gp5000 32 and there is not much clearance left next to the bottom bracket. I can try to measure one of these days

What is the rim's inner width? And how much clearance do you have?
Thanks in advance!
