you're supposed to use a saddle

I'm not sure how the FD cable bend will look, but I highly recommend you do all the cable routing before installing the BB. You should be able to place the cables in the optimal position and then install the BB afterwards.

I've already installed all four cables into the frame, and the front derailleur is deliberately routed around the lower bottom bracket area. It sits neatly in there, but it's not really fixed in place. I hope that once it's finished, it won't affect the front derailleur settings while riding. This is the current status.

Re: Assisting Force AF01 I was lucky to get one at Eurobike ;D
The frame (a super light one), seatpost, and bars are from them.

SRAM XPLR Red for the transmission.
The wheels are from my CFR505, which is very sad being dropped after so many years together, and I will move to LightBicycle WG55 with carbon spokes.
I'll end up with 45mm tires, the frame allows 50

I just did a quick 50km ride in the woods nearby yesterday.
It is stiff, in a good way. It doesn't flex at all when pedaling hard, sprinting, or fast cornering.
And if feels more precise to handle. Even making a U-turn is easier.
As pictured, it is 7.8kg

If you are in Europe, one finding from this build is https://www.wielerkoopjes.nl/ and their sister site https://www.wheel-parts.shop/nl/.
They sell good OEM components, no fancy boxes, but great prices and excellent service.

For the name, yeah... there's a cultural thing here.
Darevie is another example of these out-of-nowhere words.
Initially, it did hurt my feelings, but now I'm starting to get used to it.
In any case, it's vinyl stickers.

I’m not a good photographer, so I took many pictures to be sure I got at least a few good ones  8): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1b45PRepiLBsEmhYl47EmzG9tmCGcI2TG

Re: Seraph TT-X68 (SL8) custom build // FOR SALE Subjective. I hate black bikes and bikes withour branding are just not my cup to tea. So perfectly fine in my eyes.

Re: Spcycle New Mold SP-R088 Carbon Road Frame Sharing some photos of my frame, which I received a few days ago. Shipping was pretty fast – under two weeks to the USA. Looking forward to building this up!

where did people order their from? Aliexpress or direct contact ?

I ordered mine through AliExpress. I think it's quite a bit cheaper because I was able to use a $120 off coupon.

I just ordered mine through AliExpress in Chameleon Blue. I almost went with black to save a few dollars and grams, but my current bike has a boring paint job and I'm ready for something a little more colorful. I haven't had an interesting paint job since I owned a Klein MTB back in the day.

Now it's time to get started gathering parts. I'm going to do a SRAM build with a mixture of Force and Rival, plus some AliExpress stuff like handlebars, crank, and saddle. I already have a cheap 3D printed saddle that I'm happy with, so I'll just move that over and put one of my old saddles on my current bike.

The main decision I need to make is which wheels I'm going to get.  I'm thinking about something in the 40-50mm depth range, as light as possible. I have barely done any research on wheels at all yet, so I have a lot of work to do. I hope to decide on the wheels, bar/stem, and crank by the end of this week so I can order everything and hope that it arrives within a reasonable timeframe.

Main goal is to keep the budget under $5,000 and get as close to 7kg as possible. We'll see how that goes. I'm probably too cheap to spend that full amount when it comes down to it, so I might end up closer to 7.5kg.
Hi, I don't know what is your wheels budget, but if you're looking for something lightweight, a set with carbon spokes is definitely the best option for keeping weight down.
Some popular models:
- Newmen Streem Allround VONOA
- Farsport 2025 New EVO S/New S/New EVO C Series (C series have steel spokes)
- Winspace Hyper 5/Hyper 3
- Elite Wheels Drive 50D II

Nice, I ordered the same color! I agree it looks quite purple so I wonder what Chameleo Purple actually looks like!

I ordered a frame on 24th of August in chameleon purple and I am currently waiting for the customs letter to reach me. I'll upload some pictures probably next week.

Re: 6 Spoke Carbon Wheels ? Ican 6s I wanted to give an Update:
I bought the Ican wheels and fitted them on my Bike and i think they look absolutely amazing!
I checked them very carefully and couldnt find any errors or "bad spots" they run true.
I think they are a lil on the heavy side so closer to 1500g than 1400.
For now i am very happy with my purchase.

I put in Tpu Tubes without any tape and put the tires on all working well so far.
I added a picture as Attachment since i couldnt figure out how to add one directly in the post...

Also Dealing with Ican was very plesant they answered all my Questions and even messaged me
 multiple delivery status updates so from my experiance i can recommend them.

So what do you Guys think how do they look?
