I have 88/800 + R2 + sapim cx-ray spokes and I can only confirm the great build quality.
R2 hub is dope but might sound loud to certain person. I personally love that but if you don't it might not be a good choice

Here's a few more pictures of the cockpit and tool box.

Inseam is 82cm.
Saddle height is 73cm from bottom bracket to the 'Biomechanical Reference Line' on the Ergon saddle (roughly 10cm back from the nose of the saddle).
Dude, I’m so impressed by that level of ingenuity.
The sled idea for the toolbox is absolutely brilliant, if by any chance you have the 3D files, I’d love to get it too.
Your bike looks amazing — well done!

100% sûre. I asked Chris before ordering them.
Here are the specs of those i have ordered
TCHC M5X150 ACIER 12.9 NOIR PF DIN 912

2x20cm is huge in any case. If i need to elevate it by 5cm more, i'll do differently (thanks to my between the arms plate)

Fell free, I'm glad you're enriching this thread.
Nice look so far.

2x20cm for spacers ? Sounds huge. Are you sure ?
I'm using m5x150mm screws and I'm hesitating to reduce because i extended already by more than 4cm.

Or you meant 2x20mm additional spacers maybe ?

Yo yo yo

3D printable box version 2 is out! Took some suggestions from the forum into consideration, so here you go if anyone wants it. Main improvments:
- Better fit to the frame, as I took some time to model the geometry of the frame
- Can be used with an aero bottleholder in the frame
- Lid is held on with a pin (because I lost the lid of the old box several times  ::) )

Link to new box: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7073969

Happy to take input for version 3 from all of you!

Hi Matt, again thank you for the contribution.
would you have the toolbox for M frame size? Currently on M frame, i can't install any bottle holder on it.
I can try to model the box, but yours is so great that it'd be a pity to use another one.

Thank you very much

Just got my frame in size L. Has anyone had to chase the bottom bracket threads on their frame? I cant get a SRAM DUB T47 to thread in more than a mm or so by hand. The threads look a bit rough, but could probably convince it to go in with a bit of torque, just dont want to risk damaging the threads.

Im using this bb: https://www.sram.com/en/sram/models/bb-dub-t47-a1 in 85.5mm
i have the exact same bb, easy to install even by hand

Nice work..but please do not use petg cf.....
Thank you, what would you use instead and why not PETG CF? Is it PETG the pb or CF or even both?
I designed the mount so that the bracket under the Garmin holder compensates for the flexibility issue of the PETG CF — isn’t that enough?

I have finalized the design of the BTA bottle & computer holder
I'm pretty proud of me, i believe it doesn't require any further developments now.
I tested mechanical assembly and it seems to work like a charm. I share here the drawings & a video illustrating how simple it is to assemble (i didnt want any screw to be used for assembly except the screws for the bottle cage it self (which passes through the whole parts)


EDIT: Sorry for the french, initially the video was for a friend of mine who was asking for a demo
EDIT2: If anyone would want 3D file to print it, feel free to DM me. I'll personally use PTEG CF filament (the one on the video is PLA but for prototype testing only)

I'm sorry but i have no expérience on it.

Opposite side...  Val-de-Marne ;D  I'm very close to the "Polygone de Vincennes", if you know this place. That's where I plan to get used to riding this bike, after bike fitting on my trainer.

Hopefully someday we can meet, ride together & have pictures of our bikes together.  8)

Initially, I picked the same raw/no painting frameset as you, and then I came across this color, which happens to be very close to my triathlon club's colors...

I use to ride at longchamp, i Heard about the polygone but never been there.
I love your painting, it also matches w/ my triathlon club colors but i wanted to custom paint it myself if i décide too at some point.

Hi Maliba,

I just read your post about the chaos to route cable inside the frame. I'm actually thinking and listing all the parts to build this frame beginning of next year. I was thinking to build it with a shimano 105, because i want a double front rotor (can be discussed by everybody, but i prefer to climb on an easy way with a 34 or 36 rotor, instead of a solo 48 or 50)

And why a mecanical rather than electronic, 1st -> budget, 2nd -> i like "old schools" things :D

Do you think it's possible to route it ?

Thank you
I can only agree on building in w/ double rotor, 1st climbing tests definitely convinced me to upgrade at some point to a double one. It's stiff and quite heavier than my road bike (legit tarmac sl7) si good move here.

However i clearly don't recommend you to go with wired shimano groupset. Wait a bit more and invest in sram (or any other vendor which provides fully wireless système).
It Will be a mess to route

Hi, Samir

I'm also living near Paris, and ordered a frameset that should arrive early november...

I read your thread with great interest, and asked Chris to add some spacers, just in case... i'm 181cm/89 inseam and chose a M-sized frame, so it might be useful...
You Will need some extra spacers, no doubt about it.
I live in val d'Oise, what about you ? Could be funny to meet up once our Bikes are ready 😁

14
Gotcha
Thanks, i'll try to add liner bars behind on the surface that doesnt sit on the stock plate

15
Final print for the handlebar spacer. I love the look and feel, it completely matches w/ the stem aspect

I'm currently printing the bottle cage & bike computer holder prototype to see if mechanically it's a smooth integration on stem or if i need to do design changes.

Will keep you posted
