i'd be wary. it's nice they include one but just holding the stock plastic one, it feels quite flimsy. if you do, keep a leash on those expensive devices. might look at an alloy aftermarket one, or consider ordering the titanium one from lightcarbon. 

i've stuck with k-edge for my other computer mounts and they have been solid. but even i got a little nervous going up from a 500 to 1100 lumen light that was heavier and adding more torque to the mount.


Absolute crap. The standard plastic mount isn’t flimsy at all. No problem with an Exposure Strada and a Wahoo mounted when riding gravel.

built up with 105 DI2, pedals and garmin mount it comes in at 8.18 KG.  wheels are 1630g so under 8kg very easily done.  Of course once I add bottles, tools and my dat ass it isn't going to be relevant  ;D

Hi guys, what's the clearance like with sram 2x. I did check all the pages but maybe I still missed it?

Did anyone get any discount because of some sale/Black Friday/11.11/etc?

Also, damn, some bikes have really amazing paint job...

haven't heard of any discounts...if anything, prices have crept up, probably from increasing demand and backlogs.  but could also be related to tariffs, fuel and transportation costs.

not clear which version down tube storage door he has, but good tips to loctite the screws and add some thicker door edge tape to avoid rattling. and maybe tuck in the storage bags zipper pull :-)

 Size 47cm color chameleon 02HS ordered around May 20. Got sent photo of my frame on June 29th. I'm assuming shipping will take another 2-3 weeks to land in the USA.

beautiful paint job and your production and paint turnaround (5-6 weeks) is probably one of the quickest of late. nice!
and yes, it was 2 weeks to ship for me here on the west coast.

waiting for my frame to finish production and i am trying to decide between a 0mm offset and 15mm offset seat post. does anyone have experience with both and could provide some insights other than KOPS? are there any flex differences, does a 0mm offset make the bike feel more "racey", etc?

Indeed very fast production time was quoted 1.5 months. Sweet, west coast aswell should be seeing my frame in around 2 weeks exciting!

Reporting back after about 2.5k km. Besides the storage door, and seat-post slippage, the frame has been perfect.
I got some new storage door (v3?) at Eurobike from LC and installed it yesterday. You will need a metal drill to get the old rivets out, than blind rivet pliers to install it, first one for me to use that kind of tooling! (made a video recording, will put it out as short/insta soon), BUT totally worth it, the new version is so so much better. It "clicks" audible into place, does not fight gravity and is more snug than the old one.
I also got a new version of the seat-post with the grippy area, but hadn't had time to install it, it's also holds in place now with carbon paste + a little more torque.
Also looking forward to the titanium head-unit mount I ordered couple days ago.
