Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Scoot Addict Gravel style frame ?

Yep, my dad got one, I was very impressed by the build quality of the frame and the components. Only minor issue I had was with the convoluted seat post clamp mechanism, it was a very tight fit but I'm not sure if the original is any better. If this frame had a round seatpost (or if someone can print an adapter) I would get one for myself.

Did my first ride on it yesterday (only an hour because I'm recovering from an accident):
-It's stable - not in annoying way, but definiteley not nervous like a Giant TCX or the Factor O2 it replaced
-It clears 45mm tires (when using a GRX Di2 front derailleur) but only just. With a 21mm internal rim these tires (Schwalbe G One RS) are quite voluminous. I'm afraid I'll have to size down or dremel down...
-It's quick enough (or I am), averaged 33 kph
-The slipping seat post as someone mentioned is also a problem for me, I thought i'd have done it up tight already but it still slipped about 1.5cm during the ride.
All in all I really like it, can't wait to go out on an actual gravel ride with it now!

Does anyone know if the trail mixer brake adapter is required to run the front fork in the forward position as it is on the Aspero?
Probably, since the distance from the brake caliper changes when you flip the chips.

For me the alloy top part was sticking out wider than the fork, so I sanded it down until it was flush. Otherwise the stem wouldn't slide over the top of the fork.
My build is almost finished, just received a GRX Di2 front derailleur so that a 45C Schwalbe G-One RS fits (not much room to spare but i wouldn't ride these tires in muddy conditions anyway). With a Dura Ace Di2 there was about one millimetre to spare, and now it's maybe 3-4mm. The only challenges so far were the expander and getting the headset running smoothly, a thin spacer underneath the top cap solved it.

The original Cervelo expander doesn't fit, which is too bad because the design is a lot more elegant (more outward moving parts, better ridges on the gripping part).

Both the pictures and some reviews indicated it would be a genuine Thomson post. Aliexpress agreed with me on the dispute, so apparently I had a case there.

That Thomson post is very much a fake though, a lot heavier and not as nicely finished as the real ones. Don't be fooled by the pictures. I've started a dispute and got a full refund, so if anyone is in the market voor a 300+ gram Thomsonlike seatpost, let me know.
