XM Carbon Speed - "Gran Tourismo" Frameset

[JeffD]

In my size, the GT and the LCR018 are very close to each other geometry wise, appart from the LC having a +1cm reach (which can be compensated with a slightly shorter stem). The LC bars add 8mm of stack.

Thanks for your input anyway!

Hello everyone,

Finished building my gt frame and went for a test and everything worked well.
I then tried adjusting my seat post height and screw it back all the way. Carried my bike down the stair and put a bit of weight on the saddle and it now stuck in the frame. Can't move it, any idea how to fix it ?
For information my frame should not have the same issue as the frame from eurobike.
I also did not put carbon paste on my seat tube and cut 70mm off  (hence why it looks short on the photos).

Use a large rubber mallet and tap the saddle rails from below.

What cranks are you using? Sorry if I missed it.

Updated my previous post but it is the 165mm carbon cranks from XMCS.

Super nice bike/frame!
But did you repaint it? Or was the one in post #77 not your frame?

The one you showed before has other decals and looks more "racing green" (which I liked even more) while this one looks a teint lighter green.

Lighting can really make a huge difference and that is my guess. I do agree it looks much different.

Beauty! How was mounting those tires onto the wheels? Why did you not go with the RS version of those tires?

I have some update from my colleague, I will assemble bike for her on Gran Turismo frameset. She is very happy, she has choosen the "Raw Black" paiting.

Indeed I repainted it because I did not like the decals and I had to repaint the whole frame.
The new green is indeed a tad lighter but more deep with a less shiny finish.
Overall I liked the orignal one but the new one looks better in person !

Mounting the tyres were horrendous, I spent so much time and hurt my fingers in the process.
Went for the race tlr because I wanted better puncture protection.

Did you paint the decals or order some? I orders from Speedy Decal and was blown away with their work and quality.
