Why the Trek branding? Stuff like this is what gives Chinese manufacturers a bad wrap.

I understand your point that is a "wrong" pciture but I really do like the optics of it. Having nothing on it looks a little empty and the logos are already there...

Hey peeps
Been reading this thread for quite some time and I think it's time to get serious about building my own bike So much useful information here, thank you all for posting/sharing!
I have quite a few questions and I thought you might be able to help.

First of all, I'm about 172cm (5'8"-ish) tall- ~78cm inseam. I was very sure about ordering in a size S at first but after reading through some of your choices, I'm quite unsure about it. Of course you don't know my other measurements, but if maybe somebody could give some inputs I'd be incredibly happy (don't want to order the wrong size xD)

Second (less frame specific), I don't really know what depth wheel would be optimal. I'd be racing rolling to hilly triathlons and am quite light myself, so worried about winds and weight. I was thinking about 60mm, is that reasonable (SAT C60 DB PRO NxT SL2 maybe )

Third, and here I'm completely lost in the best way possible: The paint of the bike frame. I was quite sure about ordering a chameleon color, but hot diggity dog, the ice break color way looks so sick in some pictures posted here! Has anybody ordered one in purple or white or blue and could tell me if they think it's worth it?

Thank you again for all the information already posted here, helping me so much, really excited about this project!

I ran the 82mm Front and Disc Wheel in the back and hab no Wind Problems at all. Very stabile bike and no need to worry about. If you want to make sure to be Safe on very Windy days get a cheap low Profile Front Wheel as spare.

The winow Cockpit is definetly a good and valuble add-on. More stabiliy due to higher sides at the arm Cups and way more Aero than Standard.

In regard to the colour See the picture above. I have now Chamäleon Black, chameloen White and iced red metallic. Im my opinion White chameleon is very Nice. It comes with a Little Pearlescents / Pearl White effect.
Iced red also beautiful, the black looks nice but has a Little Bit of a structure with it, that makes it not perfectly even.

Oh and one I forgot: Those of you who got the winow bars or extension, do you think it makes a huge difference? And would it be a big PITA to switch it out later? (I'm assuming it is)

Hello again,
Defintely Go with size S Frame I am 1,73 with 80 inseam and S was Perfect

Also have some new TT23 bikes in the Pipeline which I am currently Finishing
