Re: Speeder SC-R52D Amazing marble effect with just clear coat. If I could go back in time I would order that instead black glossy paint, and save also some gramms. I would like to see it under the sun, it mus look amazing, nice stuff.
So mine looks as attached.
Paint quality is good but i will add in the next post some flaws in taping and finishing.

Weights:
Frame (size 485) with hanger and bolts: 1035gr.
Fork: 394gr.
Handlebar 370/95: 394gr.
Seatpost: 176gr.

Re: Speeder SC-R48 Here are some pics. It's a nice frame. And since made with EPS, there is no wrinkling and bladder remaining in the frame. Frame weight is including 4 bottle cage bolts and both derailleur hangers (ca. 40g plus ca. 20-30g for clearcoat). Bare frame without paint will be around 810-820g.

Re: Rinasclta Granite Aero "All Road" Bike Frameset Yo the frameset has arrived.

Upon quick inspection the "quality" seems to be good. Both headset bearing cups are smooth and the caliper mounts appear to have been faced. Also the bottom bracket area has been faced or at least leveled very well. Overall the frame feels beefy and is what I'd expect from a brand being supplied by an OEM factory.

Did I receive a Hambini special? Maybe. However, since the frame is unpainted the factory probably just pulled inventory off the shelf.

Frame: Size 54 (M)
Handlebars: 400mm Width

Overview video coming sometime soon. Below are some photos and weights.

Re: Speeder SC-R52D Today finally made my first test ride!
Bit of a shame it was wet roads, so immediately made the new bike dirty :-\

As for how it rides. I can't judge that well to be honest.
It was only a 40km ride with wet roads windy and my fitness was a bit more crap then it used to be in my last ride 4 months ago.
Also, I don't have much for reference, mainly previous bike, aluminium Canyon endurance disc.

But first impression was good!
Things I think I noticed (although might be deu to being excited on Riding the new bike ;D )

Felt like a bit better acceleration.
Frame did feel more comfortable then my alu bike.
Stiffness while sprinting and pushing on the pedals felt solid, not flexy.
Stiffness of handlebar felt not more flex when standig still. So tested it with some sprints, but felt good and not noodlely on de road.

Other then that couldn't really tell anything else. I felt more aero, but that's probably just because it looks more aero  :D

Re: Rinasclta Granite Aero "All Road" Bike Frameset My Granite frame is complete.

Paint: This is arguably my best paint job to date. It's a mix of chameleon green/purple paint, 3D glitter paint, and a 2K clear coat applied liberally. Rattle-can paint performs the worst in cold weather, so I kept the cans sitting in hot water between coats. This really helped prevent orange peel and paint drip.

Internal routing: As always, the FSA no69 headset system is a gamechanger. However, the supplied set of carbon handlebars isn't really designed for routing 4 cables (2 hydraulic + 2 mechanical shift). I ended up not using them. My go-to bars have always been both the carbon and alloy aero bars from Prime Bike Components. Makes handlebar routing a breeze and the ergonomics are TOP TIER. Sadly this frame uses the terribly designed front derailleur port similar to VeloBuild. This alone will probably be the reason I stick with Sram eTap going forward like I have with my previous two builds.

Only gotten a chance to ride it up/down the block to get sone photos. Will report back after a few rides.
