My Size L frame arrived today. Overall, the finish and build quality look very clean out of the box.
Actual Weights (without thru-axles)
- Frame (Size L): 1,400g
- Fork: 506g
- Seatpost: 250g (definitely on the heavier side)
Initial Observations
- Bottle clearance: Can confirm the bottle clearance issue is still present in Size L. If you mount a bottle cage directly to the downtube storage compartment door, you will need an extender/drop bracket to fit a second bottle comfortably.
- Fork slots: I ordered the fork without utility slots, but the outlines/ghosting of the slots are still visible under the finish. It does not bother me much, but worth noting for anyone expecting a completely smooth profile.
- I dry-fit a Ritchey Switch headset I had lying around, but ended up with an awkward gap at the head tube.
For those who have already built up this frame: which headset model/stem setup did you use, and did you manage to get a flush fit without a visible gap?
Will post detailed photos once the full build is underway.
