hope it will last a thousand miles...

issues on the build process;
1. Routing the FD cable is a bit of problem but able to run on the bottom of BB.
2. BB thread is clean unlike the many VBR218 issues.
3. I forgot to consider the expander thickness on top of steerer tube so I do cut twice
4. I put a bit of spacer in the base of rear brake instead of sanding the inner side to avoid delaminating the paint.
5. I overtighten(5nm) my seatpost bolts at first try that left some paint crack i hope it's a not a problem later on. It's okay now, not sliding down anymore.
6. Bleeding the brakes and alignment is one hell of experience 
7. Aligning the RD is easier than the FD

initial ride(20kms) feel is stiff and maybe i am too excited to push which i felt lighter than my all-rounder bike(7.8kg SL4 copy )... let me try to some hill climb to compare...

Stickers to look like a counterfeit = 

[beemerchie]

the intent of my build is just simply to copy one of the best bike art available at the cheapest way possible, rather than a nothing cheap bland bikes...

[BeR]

How stiff is the bike ?

[Jimin]

holy moly that looks awesome!!
dont care what other ppl say!

Could you also provide links and total cost?
I am(and have been on the verge of getting vbr218 for a long time now) very interested of building my own but never pulled the thumb out. But this build looks sick!

[beemerchie]

updated the links of my parts...

actually, my idea starts with a disc brake bike since i have a rim brake already... then to aero build and options are either going with TFSA JH10 or BXT 145 or SPCYCLE R065 or RIDELOVE JH24 AEROAD... as the costs of the frame against the dogmaF is the same while the color of the dogmaF was crazy gorgeous(they showed me that nebula colorways are available), why not just go with dogmaF - everything was from aliexpress by the way...

ride with my usual hill route today and didn't broke but not lucky today as i got a puncture

so far, the build is solid for my taste for that costs, it's more than enough...

Thanks for posting those links to the groupsets. Been looking for guidance. Well done

[beemerchie]

for the groupsets, anracee, yiwu, and chaser are my go-to picks in aliexpress...

Thanks mate! That is crazy, how do you find the bike at this moment?
I saw those and imo dogmaF has the best appearance.

Uf haha puncture is not a nice thing tho!

[beemerchie]

logged around 103kms already... the bike is stiff compared to my old bike, feels like a solid wall...
i dont know if its just in my head but once you roll, you want to full gas all the time, it feels light or whatsoever cant explain but i am gasping 
need to get use with the handlebar height, it was 2cm lower than my old bike, riding/sprinting on the drop needs more training...
my favorite part is the brake... very far from the rim brake, bite right away and no worries of wear on the rims...
as we said, maybe we are just enjoying our build... i just hope not to see any cracks soon...

hello, great build. looks amazing. one question, i do not see calipers on the list, which one did you mount it? thanks!!

[jonathanf2]

Nice build! Did you have a good experience buying from the Ride Love store? I might be interested in buying an Aethos clone frameset from them.

calipers are included in the groupset... 105 hydraulic brake sets...

Nice build! Did you have a good experience buying from the Ride Love store? I might be interested in buying an Aethos clone frameset from them.

my first experience of carbon item from aliexpress was the rim brake wheelset (dura-ace) from Zhou Shi Jun (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004941919441.html) and he has frames of dogmaF and even painted Aeroad before in his Store... when I decided to get the frame, it's not listed anymore so he said he has another store that lists the aeroad and dogmaF.... thats "ride love"...

aethos clone also one of my option but doesnt include the handlebars then i opt for dogmaF
take the black one, cause the white one is exact copy of aethos with cable entry in the downtube (topheadset is not 52mm)... black one is full internal (topheadset is 52mm) and needs a good headset(kocevlo full handlebar with headset is i think fits on this aethos https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006561735597.html)...

aethos black full internal cable headset 52mm
