2024 Twitter C6 - Budget Alloy road frame

[jonathanf2]

Pleasantly surprised how smooth the welds are. These are as good as pre-Trek era Kleins. Wow.

That doesn't look like welded hangar. There is a screw that is going through the hangar into the frame?

I said FD hanger, not RD hanger.

Lol but isn't that common practice? Hangars on all my bikes are either welded or riveted. Gonna be a pain in either case if one of those breaks. Never actually thought about FD hangar, always about the RD.

What was the shipping time for you?

Took around a week for me to ship to where I live.

A lot of mainstream brands don't even bother to clean up the alloy welds. Though I prefer a detachable FD hanger as opposed to a welded one. If that Twitter C6 FD hanger breaks, it'd be a pain to attach a new one.

Same. a riveted FD hanger would've been nice for longevity, but seeing its a budget frame can't really complain.

When I add to cart it says that it would deliver to me January 11

I got mine a few weeks ago, here's a quick video overview:

Going for the maiden voyage today hopefully if weather cooperates.

Looks good! I notice both your road bikes are 1x. I'm guessing you don't have too many hills! 

[Takiyaki]

Roads around here are nothing but rolling hills, which actually isn't terrible when I'm in shape...... so right now it's a problem lol.

C6 came with a MTB dinner plate cassette (had to be an 11-46) that I swapped for an 11-34, but I'm wondering if I should switch back. I will find out on my maiden ride tomorrow.

Did you determine your full, built-up bike weight? I imagine it's not a lightweight, just curious how the entire build translated.

Weight aside, that's actually a pretty sharp looking build for such a low price.

Wish I could find the geometry of the C4 version. I have seen the C6.

Just weighed it- 9kg flat, but that's with an 11-34 Sunrace cassette, TPU tubes and ~1350g gravel wheels. Out of the box I'd bet it will be closer to 10kg.

That's really not that bad at all. Weighs less than my (admittedly, older) alloy framed / carbon forked Raleigh with 10sp Ultegra and 105 wheels, tpu tubes, and ultegra cassette. Although, yours is a very small frame, still I think my Raleigh is only 49cm, if I remember correctly.
