Good afternoon. Today I decided to tinker with the frame a bit. I wanted to see if there would be any fork play, like some people here are experiencing. I assembled the frame with the fork and bearings, compression ring, and top cap. And indeed, there is some play back and forth. Measurements showed that the bearing seats are not perfectly aligned. In my opinion, the fork play is not due to the compression C-ring (although I consider this type of ring to be incorrect), but due to imprecise bearing seats.

Hello. I need help choosing a frame size. I'm 180 cm tall, with an inside leg length of 86 cm, if not 87 cm. My reach is about 184 cm. I'm not very flexible; my toes don't quite reach the floor. I'm choosing between a 54 and 56 frame size. I'm leaning toward the 54, but I'm concerned about whether I'll have to extend the seatpost too high, which will result in it fitting too tightly into the frame.

I use an online translator, so there may be inaccuracies.
