VoiceVelo Echo (aero frame)

The headset is based on the FSA ACR standard and doesn't have a special design, so it should be compatible with many headsets.

That sounds great. I can't imagine life without the 120-130mm stem and 340mm handlebar from bikedoc.

Size XL56, Ultegra 12s Di2, and YOELEO QIANKUN CS60, weighing 7.5kg in the photos, are pretty good for an aerodynamic road bike. The build quality is decent, except for some minor paint imperfections (not visible after assembly). The handlebar decals have air bubbles, which looks a bit unsightly.

Hi. What are your impressions of the bike after a while?

[crwlv888]

I expected a harsh, vibrating ride with 30C tires on 60mm carbon spoke wheels, but it’s actually surprisingly comfortable.

While it’s not quite as nimble as an all-arounder when pulling away from traffic lights, the cruising stability is excellent and the power transfer feels very direct.

Also, because my seatpost hasn't been cut and sits quite deep in the frame, I was getting some creaking when applying lateral force. I managed to fix it by applying a small piece of electrical tape to the lower right side of the seatpost.

Overall, I’m really enjoying this bike.

I finally received my frame—hooray. There was a small issue with the delivery: Panda Podium asked me to pay an additional $100 for “free” shipping because my country is very far away. My country is Kazakhstan; we share a border with China, and the delivery problems are entirely related to the chosen shipping method via FedEx. The package traveled through Germany and France.

The frame itself looks high quality. The inside of the frame is clean, but there were small carbon residues inside the fork. Assembly was quite convenient because there is a slot for a Di2 battery. Unfortunately, there are no guides for internal cable routing.

The frame is very light, while the fork feels relatively heavy. The overall package is very good. The packaging is excellent. The kit included aluminum headset spacers, lightweight axles, and headset bearings. There are many nice details, such as a metal plate under the bottle cage with the company name, which creates a pleasant impression of a premium purchase.

I hope to test this frame already this weekend.

Guys, post some photos of your bikes please.

[crwlv888]

Since I mostly ride at night, I don't have many great scenic photos to share.

I’ve uploaded some detailed shots instead, which I hope will be a helpful reference for those interested in this frame.

Has somebody got any information about a potential zero offset seatpost?

[crwlv888]

That seatpost is their proudest design, so they probably won't change it.

But with only 5mm of setback, it's actually not that bad.

7.5kg for an XL sounds really good. I thought it was going to weigh more. That fork is just so heavy.  Which was what was quite off putting for me initially but i might be swayed.

Hello everyone again. My bike is assembled. The wheels, bottle holder, and stem are temporary, and I'll be using different ones. It feels sturdy but also very comfortable. The bumps in the road are more noticeable in the hands than in the back.

I tried this bike on long, relatively flat sections in the aero position and on relatively long and steep climbs. I haven't climbed high yet, as it's cold in the mountains. I really like the way it rides and accelerates. And of course, the look is very cool. The climate allows me to ride sometimes in winter, but I often have to use the thinkrider. The racing season will start in April, and I hope to achieve good results.

what saddle height do you have in this picture?

[crwlv888]

The saddle height is 76 cm (measured from the BB center)

I'm going to take part in a bike track race in early February. Our bike track allows you to participate in these races on traditional road bikes. Let's see how the ECHO performs!

[aeroquest]

4km, 354watt, 5 minutes and 30 seconds, 82kg. I think, thats not bad for aero bike. This bike can be very fast, If you want.

Soory, I have only this screen.

[aeroquest]

Next day, 1km, 502 watt. The frame's rigidity was sufficient for such power, and the force transmission was excellent, but there were unpleasant sounds and creaks. 1 minutes and 19 sec
