I just went out for a ride in the rain and mud, the varnish is very very fragile. I almost removed everything around the wheel arches. I will have to consider re-varnishing the entire frame later.

Hello.
Bike is almost finished
Just picture for tire clearance with Tufo gravel thundero 48 / zipp 303 xplr
The bike is superb, it's great to assemble it yourself. However, I find that the frame is missing some essential elements: the chain guard, the front derailleur cover and the protection under the frame. And above all, instructions with all the tightening torques.

Hi there,
The frame is indeed designed for direct mounting of 160mm both front and rear!

Yes direct mount for rear but for front we need flat mount adapter in 160 position like this picture

Could someone tell me if I need to install a flatmount adapter at the rear for a 160mm disc? I have the impression that the frame is designed for direct mounting for 160mm but I have a doubt.
If I can get a picture of a 160mm edit that would be cool too.

What's the size of the frame? Is the weight of the fork with the axle installed? About the frame weight, was it with the axle, derailleur hanger and bolts?
How much do the Thundero 48s measure on those wheels and what's the clearance, especially in the back?

Thanks

Tufo 48 measure 50mm and clearance is very good, larger tires must be fitted

Work in progress ! Look badass 

The build:
SRAM Force xplr 13 groupset
Rotor dub T47in bottom bracket
ZIPP 303 xplr sw
Tufo gravel thundero 48mm
RYET carbon 3d saddle
Carbon bottle cage

I received the packet today. I'll send you some photos of the packaging and the parts received. The frame is well packaged, delivery will have lasted 17 days to France. The frame is very beautiful, I only chose RAW with glossy varnish. I started assembling the Sram Force Xplr 1x13 groupset. I've already stopped because I don't have the screws and the adapter support for the flat mount calipers of the front fork. I'll have to look for it at the store.

Frame size M without BB, axle and derailleur hanger 1156gr
Fork with axle : 506gr
Integrated Handle bar 420/100 : 380gr

Ridley astr rs ppf kit ?

Just for info. I ordered this frame on July 27th and it hasn't arrived at home. The status is still in order printed in China. So I think it's going to be quite long.

Order completed
- M Size
- RAW with glossy varnish
- Integrated handlebar 420/100

Next:
Search BB T47 86.5 ceramic if you have a good brand with reasonable price

Very interested by this frame kit for mount an all-road bike with 2 different wheels set ( Road and Gravel ) with new sram xplr 1x13
Do you have pictures of seat post clamp and velobuild gravel integrated handlebar ?
