Any recommendations for a good t47 bottom bracket? Frame is t47 68, I assume the 68mm is the width of the BB shell and the length of the crank axle determines whether you get a t47 outboard or t47 inboard?

[Macedingle]

Can you please let us know how much the frame cost and the wheels cost? Also, what is your estimated total bill cost?

So I believe all in for the frame and wheels plus paint and shipping it was like 1500usd. I'm estimating somewhere around 2500 for final build but I'll price everything up accurately when I've got it finished.

Would it be advisable to run 33mm outer width wheels and 32mm tires on this frame or should I just stick with a 28mm outer width?

Peter couldn’t provide a definitive answer but he did provide pics of the rear chainstay and it seems like there would be enough clearance.

BL: looking to build an all-arounder with slightly more relaxed geometry and wider tires.  I have mostly been riding more aggressive aero bikes but getting super low has exacerbated some long standing injuries.  Trying sustain this hobby for the long haul and not have my body pay a huge price on recovery after a 2-3hr training ride.

Don't know to be honest, I'll be trying to run 30s maybe even 32s so I'll be able to give an update on how that goes when I'm putting it together

[Icyseanfitz]

Few bits came in (saddle and tpu tubes), wheels are also finished (look great imo, weight is 1316g for the pair)

Sorry for the large images, site is giving me awful trouble with attaching images.

Nice wheels. Which hubs, spokes and nipples you went with there?

I look forward to your update.  Right now it’s between the R01 and the LT 301D.  I’d be comfortable with 33 OW on the 310.  For the R01 I might opt for a 28 OW just to be safe.  Intention is to run 32mm… but would love the option to go a little bigger.

Hubs are peters in house 54t ratchet ones, carbon spokes and id assume alloy nipples.

When I get the frame I'll measure the seat/chainstays

[Icyseanfitz]

Frame is done and hopefully getting shipped next week, cant wait to get the build started not 100% on the downtube decals but thats my only real niggle, love how close peters painting guy got to the supersix scheme i asked him to emulate, think the seat post paint is a nice touch and will probably help with any seat post slipping issues if they exist. The paint has obviously added a bit to the weight but its nothing massive imo.

[Macedingle]

What size frame and TT length?
