This is the Trump phone of bikes down to the gold bits and inflated price tag.
This YouTuber is an Idiot. Just a paid promotion of a UK "Bike Company" that keeps our 018D bikes from arriving sooner. It says $10,000 bike I amost Choked. Go to this video and give your opinion of what you think of some no name bike company who claims to have designed this frame.

I'm going Ultegra Di2 12 Speed, anyone else fitted this and have any tips/ suggestions for fitting and any spacers needed for BB and crank spacing? Will be running either 32 or 35mm road tyres.
Shimano has instructions online there is nothing different on this frame that requires any special knowledge. Many intergrated HB bike buils on You Tube to figure out how to run the cables, even a cheezy Light Carbon video

Why is it so hard for people to do their own reasearch on bike frame sizing.

https://bikeinsights.com/compare

This site has every chinese and western brandframe going back in time. You can easly compaire your frame to any chinese purchase. You get an overlay of each frame together with your current frame.

Stop asking us to size your frame do your own research. If your current bike does not fit get a pro bike fit for a new frame and have them pick the right one for you.

nice build, can't wait to see the final result!
you mean the R9100 13s model?
They are neither particularly light nor particularly cheap. What sets ZTTO apart from other popular ones (Rpantahi 220g, Onirii 200g or Rockbros 180g)?

The Goldix ULT  195g 11-34

I have finalized my frame with Light Carbon and am waiting for the invoice. The frame will be a 58 and be a chamelion Purple/green/blue. Silver laser decals.

This is a video of the color 

I did order the CEMA Bottom Bracket, Titanium Computer mount and additional seat post so I have both zero and 15 deg setback. I dont want to find out I ordered the wrong post.

The CEMA BB was cheap compaired to pricing I have seen online.
The Ti Computer mount is expensive $49 USD
The Seatpost was also expensive, but can i find the same post dimension somewhere else.

Add LTwoo erx groupset with upgraded rear derallier for 34t
A Leese carbon Ti spindle crank with 4 position spider and 50/34 chainrings. (FYI these were seperate items that do not come with the chainring bolts) +4 ti bolts
Goldix lightweight all steel Cassette 11-34
Zitto Carbon pedals with Ti spindle SPD-SL

And cheap wheels Winspace Unaas Pro SE carbon spokes. I may have to remove those ugly decals. These were an amazon deal. I did like the 23.4 inner 30mm outer rim width and ratchet for $419 USD. 1500g

iiip light weight floating rotors

Plan on buying Vittoria Corsa N.Ext G2.0 35c tires  Choosing 35c is harder than it looks.
Oh and some cheap carbon cages from AliX. That are highly rated.

I will do a more targeted post when the frame arrives. Hopefully before next year.

If anyone wants to check geometry for a new bike I suggest Bike Insights  Here : https://bikeinsights.com/dashboard 
I was able to compaire my current bike to almost any frame on the market including every chines frame.

I was looking at the Flyee and all the parts that were missing. If you dont like the 4 colos add a big hunk of change to the price. In addition the 32c tire max was a sore spot as the roads in my area are chip seal. I am now looking at the Light carbon instead.

FYI - I ordered and received both the Ti and the standard computer mount, after looking them both over and installing both I actually preferred that standard one.  I guess it all comes down to personal preference but the Ti one looked a little too ornate (bling) for my taste - YMMV...

I was thinking flat black paint would fix that  8)

Has annyone have the new Decals on their bike, with a dark color frame that is not black and if you could share an image?

I am in the process of working through my option with Wendy before I order.

I was also wondering if anyone had measured the computer bolt pattern and tried to 3d print an adapter. I also noticed the pinarello F12 Computer mount om ALIX is close but only 2 bolt. I think I am just going to order the titanium and call it a day, unless it not a good mount?

the CEMA BB has directional marks on all parts. hard to get it wrong unless you accidentally interchanged L and R. always gently screw it in by hand first.

I ordered the ceramic CEMA (thought i try ceramic once again). took me 2 aproached with this thing to get dub wide chain line spacing sort of right.
after a few km i wanted to try different crankset. but ceramics bearings didn't survive a really really mild hit with my rubber hammer onto the spindle  :o

anyone got long term experience with the CEMA ceramic bearing? can't believe it is that fragile

CEMA is a high end Berring manufacturer and the quoted price from Light Carbon was well below retail. Pro teams use this brand due to the ABCE5 precision. I have seen standard BB selling in the UK for 150 pounds. So my price was under $80 dollars.
