Looks great. You weren't tempted to go with the routing through the headset?
No, totally not. Even I hate any internal.
The difference they told was that, headset top cap only, it has a hole to get cables in. that's it. Frame keep its holes but just have blank fillers for holes. fillers come with frames. So choice is headset top cap only.

Even mines, the centering sleeve is "C" shape to allow cables go though. but we have four cables right? RD cable, Rear brake, rear lockout and dropper. Not sure I can put everything in the space of "C" honestly.

I was talking to Carbonda Adam via Skype. He usually responds very soon.
Rear boost OLD is a bit too wide, measured as 150.0mm, wheel ends goes beyond its slot, a bit annoying when i put.

Ride is good. not as nimble as EPIC FS but decending fast. it is not that stiff but not feeling major flex.

Just done the most painful part, routings. Rear brake routing is really hard to go though. Right DS chainstay has an tunnel to go though, so RD outter housing is easy. Real pain is rear brake route.

I think you must disassemble the rear swing arm to route, but when I did so, pivot points scratch each other and making paint tips. I am not sure the best way to avoid the paint scratch since engagement is really tight. So if you cant allow any small flaw in the paint, maybe you need a special wiring tool especially for hydraulic hose. Once you pass the chain stay and get in to the front triangle, BB part and downtube part is much much easier to go.

Is very pretty. Maybe I expected it to be lighter. I hope they send it to me in July.
Thanks.
BTW, You will find 8x30mm bushing is not very common. I just asked Carbonda to find, and now they are talking to supplier. If it is not too late, maybe you can ask them to include in your shipping.

Is that a medium or large frame?  Thanks
My 1827g Frame is the medium. so their 17xxg claimed is maybe bear non painted frame.

just one dropper cable is routed. Internal routing is tough.

Arrived. 1827g with all mouting bolts, RD hanger, cable liners, outer housing bushings. No bottle cage bolts, no shock, no protection plastics, no seatpost clamp, no headset, no BB.

all bearing rotation is far from smooth (but i dont care too much).  Shock bushing 8x30mm (8mm diameter x 30mm L to R) required (may not be included). I am contacting to seller but maybe i have to buy separately.

Any question?

Payment was PayPay. 4% is for me, cost to escalate claim in case of trouble.

Right. Specialized recent bike but they have big hole at front side. outer housing can move feely. Hope flybike follows similar design.

well, a bit of concern i have. this place keep open and close with the swing arm movement. if the rubber grommet is too tight, it prevents swing. If the housing is too long, it will knock the frame inside and make noises. If the housing is too short, maybe i got the ghost shifting problem. It is the reason why A lot of frame has the housing outgoing from the bottom of the down tube under the bottle cage and dive in again at the chain stay to make cable length margin.

Cable routing near the pivot. going upper of BB shell, goes to chain stay.

no, i didnt order the integrated handlebar. i am not a big fan of internal routing. keep cables outside as much as possible for easier maintenance. No idea how the cables go out and in around pivots. I will update.
