Now that is a name that inspires confidence in a sworks fake. I want to bomb down hairpins at 80kmh on a 800g fake from a store called Nicole on Aliexpress.
You bought real thru axles, so i think it's ok now, you're safe. I'd feel safe.

All built up, thoughts ?

As cringe as you'd expect, with shitty tyres on Elite branded wheels with a 50/34 105 crankset on an sworks.
It's like a toothless golfer wearing crocs and drinking supermarket beer on the course with a john deere tee shirt and a dirty old gas station cap.

exactly what i was going for tbh, it's a solid bike , full face helmet at 10mph

I like the fact that you're not hiding :)
