First ride today, 66km, first impressions are rocketship, any bit of power I put in was was translated into speed, when I was up to 30kmh + bike held speed fantastically. Also found it to be quite comfortable although I might need to adjust fit a little.
Only issue I had was when heavy sprinting the front rotor was hitting the pads slightly, not a big issue and I might be able to adjust the caliper to correct it. Overall, love the bike

Quite frankly I have nothing negative to report or criticize. Easily the lightest and best set of wheels I've used from a value perspective. Mother nature gave me one single day today above freezing, and I was able to get in a 3 hour ride Z2 ride with some intervals mixed in.

GP5000 STR 32c. Running actual tubeless to avoid another audience upheaval on my YouTube. Tires measure 34mm at the rim. 55 PSI

Video drops next week.

Look great, can't wait to see your video on them, seems like we all went with gold decals

Looks great, would be interested in a 24mm titanium version.

Mine is a "54" as well which is not quite accurate as the only measurement that is near 54cm is the seat tube. Just about every other bike frame uses the top tube for sizing (actual or effective). I should have gotten a size smaller I think as I do not have the flexibility I once had.

 I think you said before you bought a Ryet saddle. I tried a couple different versions and none were very good for me. Right now I am back on my old Prologo scratch that came on my 2014 SuperSix LOL. Thy Ryet is too wide especially on the nose - I need a traditional saddle. I just recieved a knock off https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006282996753.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.11.3bab1802jMHy2r that is only 140mm wide and traditional shape but not mounted yet.

Funnily enough that's the exact saddle I've used and have currently on the bike, I find the shape fits well but there's very little cushion on it which can impact comfort.

Yeah I had a short nose 135mm wide ryet, just wasn't working for me, sit ones getting uncomfortable on it, if I could find a ryet in a similar shape to my previous saddle I'd try it.

I'm 6 foot on the size 54, I haven't dialed the fit in yet, I'll probably drop it a few cm and might push the saddle back a bit more, haven't had a chance to ride it yet so I've no idea of the fit adjustments needed just yet.

Next thing is to try and find a more comfortable saddle

Bike is now fully built, very happy with how it turned out, must weigh it properly but as is without pedals id say around 7.1. Just waiting for the irish weather to give me a day and i will get it out for its first spin.

Tyres arrived, only thing left to do now is bartape and it's finished. Added up the individual weights (uncut steerer, unshortened chain no pedals or bottle mounts) and it's adding up to 6.992kg, my cheapo luggage scale is given me around that too but it's not the most consistent/accurate. Overall very happy with how bike looks and weighs. I'll add pictures once bartape is done.

I would wait until me and the other user here receive our frames as there has been what seems like some decent delays in shipping. Mine has been stuck at awaiting flight since the 24th.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007696367264.html

offers the frame in 3 tiers, the third tier being the highest quality closest to a real one, the one in Oralmaster's photos that he said he could not feel the difference between a test ride of a real one and his tier 3 version. I have ordered the same one, actually identical to oralmasters size and color by chance lol.

Have you a link to just the sellers page by any chance? That link won't work/delivery to my country for some reason

Just measured my dc50u wheels which should have an internal width of 21.4, pretty much spot on at 21.5 and that could just be a fault in my calipers

15
And new combo wheelset 20/20H carbon spokes hubs built with  D50CU-33 T1100 rims UD paintless was just released, around 1180+/-20g/pair

How much for these Peter? Btw do you have any lightweight MTB wheelsets?
