Hi everyone,

I’ve just ordered the frame in size L; can a 58-tooth chainring be installed?
I want to run a 10-30 or 10-33 cassette and a 58T chainring—SRAM Rival AXS 1x. :)

Hi everyone, I’d like to order a frame—size L. I’m 195 cm tall; do you think that will fit? Also, are extra spacers included for the cockpit?
What have your experiences with the bike been like? ;)

I don't think the new frame makes that big of a difference. In the end, it's round about 130 grams lighter.  ???

Hi guys, I've now ridden the bike for 1,000 km. The fork extender kept slipping on several occasions, so I simply swapped it out for a different one. The bike is fast and a real head-turner. The seatpost didn't slip on my bike, though. I am very satisfied with the bike. :) :)

Hi everyone

Does anyone here have a mount for a rear light that attaches to the massive ::) seatpost?

Unfortunately, the rubber straps aren't long enough to mount a suitable rear light. Thanks! ;D

Hello

I think you have to accept some compromises in quality. You should keep in mind that the price isn't comparable to an S-Works SL8. Furthermore, in my opinion, you should have some experience if you're going to take on a project like this—building up an inexpensive frame. Honestly, I think the weight is perfectly fine, and it's not a problem if it's a bit heavier. I think the frame is okay for the money. However, there are definitely some things that need adjusting or improving. That's something to keep in mind.

Hey,

Thank you! I think mechanical shifting is great, since I only have to shift the rear derailleur and not the front. I enjoy riding with mechanical shifting; my Allez has a Di2 105. I live in northern Germany, where there aren't any mountains ;) I already have the mount you suggested from AliExpress. However, the Garmin sticks up high and isn't a perfect fit for me. I might shorten the fork to lower the front end. Thanks for your feedback.

Hey everyone,

my Aerotrace is now fully built. I think the bike looks great. I built it up with 82mm Elite wheels 30mm in the back an 28 front, a 54T chainring. Shimano 105 mechanical groupset, one-by-one. I hope 366 ftp and 84 kg are enough to make it fast :) Frame size 58. I don't think the seat clamp is the best design. The bearing quality isn't the best, but that's not a big deal. You have to consider the whole package, and for the total price of €1700 for the build, you can't complain. The bike is lighter than my Specialized Allez Sprint, and hopefully faster too ;)I will be riding with Favero Assioma dou pedals. If anyone has a really good, suitable holder for a Garmin and the Velobuild handlebars, please get in touch.
