Re: The Shiny New AM831 Group Buy (A) Thread! Here is some more photos including rough measurements of the shock tunnel and fork clearance. The fork is a 150mm 51mm offfset Pike for reference. I'm still need to buy a few more parts before I can really start to build it up. Overall the frame looks really good!

That's a really good color. Matte olive? Can I know what parts you'll be putting on it?

I'm guessing a turret-mounted 50 caliber.

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame Finally finished my build, and of course it a rainy day  ;D

After a couple of rides I'll give some impressions and specs, with some better pictures.

Thanks so much 1Sigma, great to hear from someone running a similar setup! Appreciate the really detailed numbers. Sounds like there will be ample room to run the 50t oval in there!

The chainline deviation info sounds acceptable to me, where I'm at is pretty flat and I rarely find myself in the top gears. 36.8kmph at 90rpm with four gears to spare, sounds pretty ample for my speed range.

May I ask about what crank/chainring setup you are running? Still shopping around for those. I was thinking about the Zrace cranks but heard some unhappy reviews of them around here. I'd prefer the SRAM-style direct mount chainrings without a spider, but would love to hear what you're using.

Currently I am running the Magene P325CS Power Meter crankset.  It is direct Mount and almost exactly like the SRAM AXS 8-bolt system.   
I have a Stone AXS direct Mount to 5-arm spider adapter (Required a but if going to match the Magene Mount) which is attached to my chainring.  So, I am kind of using both direct Mount and a spider.  (For me this was necessary to access the charging ports on the power meter)

My 1x is PassQuest. Acceptable weight, good build quality.  I have no clutch rear derailleur, and I have not had a single drop.  They also offer a number of oval and direct Mount options.

Re: 11.11 deals from the big boys Jim from light carbon said this to me yesterday.

Keep touch, when we have some discount I will let you know, but not now.
In hot season all frames have nodoscount.
