Has there been any update on the brand/logo going forward? Is the intention to use the font on the GT frame or is that just a placeholder for now?
Hey everyone,
has anyone ordered nowadays wheelsets delivered to the EU? How long did it take until the delivery? I'm thinking of getting CS-RDW-H-50-30 with XDR freehub (with grey decals if that matters) for an event in the end of july.
Thank you!
First of all, thanks for the positive feedback on my last mock-up. So here is a second, slightly improved version.
I really liked the choice of the word ‘aerys’, but the font didnt match the ‘XMCS’ on the rims. You cant please everyone but the fact that the majority would prefer a frame without any branding shows that the current concept isnt quite right yet. I very much hope that the latest logo posted by requiem doesnt get the green light, as it again doesnt match the font on the rims and lacks a consistent design language. The ENVE logo, even though its just as intricate, is symmetrical and simple, making it very pleasing to the eye. The proposed font is very obtrusive, looks cheap and lacks a timeless appeal.
I hope more care is put into the design as (for me) branding is just as much a part of a good frame as the quality or the lay-up.
Edit: I just want to make clear that Im simply trying to help. The GRT and VRT frames look great otherwise, Ive already seen them in Frankfurt at the weekend.
I couldn't manage to get the letters be cut off as they are on the rims, but directionwise: 
Patty how do yo feel about the carbon spoked XMCS wheels? In your er One update video you mentioned that after switching from carbon spoked wheels to steel spokes, you enyojed the ride quality much more. I am strongly considering the VRT frame and I am torn about the wheels as I am not sold on the carbon spokes either but XMCS do not offer steel spoked wheels with large enough internal width. I am therefore contemplating whether to stick with XMCS wheels or find a steel spoke wheelset elsewhere. Have you perhaps tested the VRT with a steel spoke wheelset to be able to compare? Any input would be appreciated, thanks!
