The nero show just released a bib short rating video with some chinese brands and western brands included. Pretty interesting to get someone's opinion who can compare many brands to eachother

Any suggestions on electric pumps that will fit in internal storage?

I read in an earlier comment that the Cycplus AS2 Ultra fits (65x47.5x28mm). My Topump TB2 pro doesn't fit (77×53×32mm). Wondering if Cyclami AM6 Pro will fit because it's ~1/3 of the price of the AS2 Ultra.

Any other suggestions under $100 CAD range?

To update this - I went with the Cyclami A2S Alloy, and it fits in the downtube storage with the silicone sleeve on and nozzle off. I may get shorter bottle cage screws to save a little space because it's tight currently. I can report back once I have some experience using it more

Did you get the screw one or adhesive? I'm looking at getting the adhesive because I'm renting but wondering if it will hold up

I went for the upgraded CEMA ceramic BB from LC. Cheaper than anything I could find in Canada for the same spec. Happy with it so far.

Did UPS give you a breakdown of the charges from CBSA? I had to pay $50 in fees/taxes/charges for my frame. I think it would depend on the value LC put for the value declaration, to directly how much you had to pay.

I wish I bought the same, hindsight 20/20. I don't think so. I can't find it on the tracking page

After a loooong wait with delays (handlebars I ordered were out of stock) I finally got the shipping info. Unfortunately, I had to pay 200 CAD import fees to UPS. Is this a Canada thing? Really surprised at the price.

Side note - last piece I need is a bottom bracket, steered away from the one they provide because of comments here but kind of wishing I went with one of the ones they sell now because my LBS has a wheels mfg t47i for shimano but it's ~200 cad. Is the wheels mfg worth it?

My other option is praxis for $70 but will take 1-2 weeks to arrive and I'm hoping to get it before the frameset arrives. Any other brands BBs I should look into?

If I were to wait 1-2 weeks maybe there are some good options from AliExpress?

Thanks for any help!

I made my order in early November and received the frame on January 3rd in size 58. The build went really well and I really cant nitpick anything. I replaced the headset bearings with Enduro stainless steel bearings and went for a Wheels MFG bb. The wheels are Elite Pro 2.0 with a 24mm inner width, and I currently have 32mm GP5000s. I put Ultegra Di2 groupset on it with 11-34T cassette, 170MM cranks, 50-34T chainring. Thanks everyone for all the posts and info along the way.

Nice build love the colourway. I'm waiting on mine now and want to get the wheels mfg bb too. Which one do you have?

Having such a hard time deciding on colour.

First I wanted the chameleon 7207 but after seeing photos, it looks just white, hard to see the chameleon effect. Next i considered chameleon 07HS. I see different example photos in different lighting and love the burgundy look, but other photos it looks very dark and just black.

After seeing Hoogie's yellow Velar that inspired me to consider a yellow mango colour.

Or maybe a british racing green would look great  ;D

It's a difficult decision... if anyone has more examples of colours i listed feel free to share! would be greatly appreciated
