The frameset arrived a few days ago.
The packaging was good, and there are no scratches or anything like that.
The bottom bracket was easy to install; the threads were fine.
The caliper mounts are smooth.
In the bottom bracket area, the frame has a few sharp carbon edges on the inside, but nothing serious.

I’m still waiting for a longer cockpit and the right/final bottom bracket.

I’ll post a few updates on the assembly.  I’m satisfied. Overall, great quality.

For the headset, I’m using an FSA 36x45 on the bottom and a DEDA 45x45 on top. I’m not using the ring on the bottom one. The fork has its own, right? However, the bearing doesn’t quite fit. I’ll have to take another look and then post some photos.
Hello! What is the frot disc brake´s size? Is it posibble to use 140 in front?

Well, I've finally been able to take the bike for a spin.
It's the Permeants 09, painted transparent red. I found it quite fast, but I'm coming from a steel frame. The riding position is comfortable, not too racing-oriented.

Ive bought a few and they always come with a compression ring. Some of them have a different one, H2630A. But there should be one in there.
Thanks you @sakizashi.
I'll talk with Bike24 about it.

There are some loose carbon fibers visible on the head tube. It seems to be just the last layer. What do you think?

HI!

Can anyone who has bought the FSA ACR 55 headset confirm if it came with the compression ring (FSA H2474)? I bought it and it arrived without it...

Thanks

Hi!


Inspecting the frame, I feel some sharp edges on the chainstays. Is this finish normal  in that area?

And there are also some loose fibers around the head tube. Has anyone else noticed this?

Thanks!

Can someone who has installed Di2 tell me what used for the front derailleur output?

Hi,

Yesterday I received my Permanents ST 09 in transparent red.
The color is very nice and it seems very well finished, but I need to examine it more closely. I'll post some photos as soon as I can.
I have some questions about the headset. I've seen the Token TK1556SP, which seems better designed for not mounting an integrated handlebar. I'm wondering if it will be compatible. It has a 45/45 bottom bracket instead of the 36/45. I understand that the important factor is the external angle, but I don't know if anyone can confirm this.

I'm going to set it up with Di2; does anyone know if rubber caps are needed for the front and rear derailleurs?
Does anyone know what cable length might be needed for a size S? 600 and1200?

Thanks

Just wanted to show the build for my GF.

We went for the first spin today. Nothing bad to report
Hi! What does that color look like in sunlight? I'm thinking of ordering a frame in that color, but it looks very dark in the photos I've found online.

Thanks!

Hi all, I am continuing to edit the first post on this page to keep it current with information about this frame, how to order it, and ideas on how to build it.

I'm not sure if this frame is truly one of the best open molds, or if they are all this good, but I am so impressed that I want to make sure it doesn't get overlooked. Please let me know if you have thoughts to add.

While it would be cool to get them to open molds in a few more sizes, that is still really far away, and the Mondinice crowdfunding campaign probably isn't helpful to the cause.
Thak you for yuor work!!
What are the thru axles like? Is it worth ordering them with the frame, or can you get something better for a similar price?

Hi guys just wanted to give you an update. After almost 2 months I received the frame, everything went perfect. Nice packaging and perfect communication all the time.

Size 46 fits perfect. Thanks @matt14 for the recommendation.

Did you use this frame in road? Im looking for an allRoad frame to use in road

FWIW there is an elite-level racer here in Chicago that has been using a replica Ostro VAM for the past two seasons. He races against the top crit teams in the country.

It's probably difficult to substantiate performance of the frame. I mean it doesn't seem to be holding him back. At the very least the frameset has been able to take abuse at the highest level.
Which manufacturer? Do you know?
