Winspace C5 Aero

[Sebastian]

At least one paint scheme that doesn’t scream LOUD AND PROUD would have been nice.
Other than that it’s a pretty cool frame. The weight is pretty impressive for a frame with „only“ T700/800 and aero tube shapes like that, I think.

Also the price and the geometry are both in the sweet spot. I’m really looking forward to seeing reviews. I think this could be very popular.

might be just me but the currently available paint schemes for the new c5 aero is god-awful. need more paint schemes winspace.

Agreed.  Seriously considering this one, will enquire if custom paint jobs with no logo is possible.

Not all of us need more stack to maintan aero positions. Most modern bikes are way too relaxed for me.

Whats your strava?

That’s what I thought… You always come in with all these hot takes on every post because you can hide your identity.

think they got the weight down with using a bit of the "M" carbon sheets like in the SLC3. but it is pretty impressive still for it being mainly T800 assume 900g is real weight (chinese frames almost always lie a bit on the weight).

personally, i am disappointed that the stack is not a bit more (for size M) but nothing a extra spacer or two cant solve.

well for starters, people knowing my identity wouldn't change my opinions. Even if I did give you my strava, I don't upload there anyways so you wouldn't learn anything other than my name, which I could give you directly, were I inclined to reveal it to randoms online

Please, let's stop being childish and get back on topic.

I have the C5 and love it. I am definitely getting this one if Bitcoin pumps soon. The geo of the model fits me like a glove, I will however get an extra 10mm in the stem length next time.

How has your current C5 compared to previous bikes? Its “Endurance” but I think the bike seems more racey than they market it as

[Manfrotto]

I like the bike. But I just got an email from Winspace. You no longer get handlebars with the purchase. So essentially the price is risen 20%

Bumping this- considering the c5 aero as they are available complete for like $3k on their website.  Not sure how tariffs play out but it seems like a great deal.  Any updated reviews?  Fit is similar to my current bike with a shorter reach (fine) and a slightly shorter stack.  Longer stays which I’m not a fan of, but bigger tire clearance would be nice.

My frameset in color Roubaix 2025 just arrived.

Size S, weights:
- Frame with hangers: 1090g
- Fork uncut: 471 g
- Handlebar 380/95: 332g
- Seatpost: 197g

Overall pretty happy so far.

Just one thing I noticed (not the end of the world for me):
There are scratches at some points that seem to be underneath the clear coat and probably even underneath the actual paint.

Does it just come from raw frames also having these marks and the paint not being the thickest?

[h0ldb88r]

You should ask them about that. I don't know how obvious those are under normal usage/light, but I think it would be annoying as a new frame. If that is not to be expected, they could at least give a small amount in refund.
