Apologies for leaving folks in the dark.

1. I'm told a full range of sizes will be available this Summer. Peter is waiting for the wind tunnel results from Silverstone. And while I highly doubt the results will have any influence on the further production of frame sizes, he probably is just being cautious. Plus Peter has been busy preparing for Euro Bike 2026.

2. Pricing will be somewhere between $1800-$1900 incl handlebar and basic custom paint option.

3. I've been riding the AERYS for the past 4 weeks and it's a super solid bike. Fast and it feels well rounded. The deep headtube is fantastic in a tailwind. And also not so ideal in 40kph crosswinds which are common this time of year here in Chicago. No frame with this type of headtube is above its crosswind challenges. Would be happy racing with this bike if I wasn't so nervous crashing a newly released design.

4. The main hurdle preventing me from offering a full review is I'm waiting for Peter to release a 20mm setback seatpost next month. In short, I can't really get the saddle far enough back behind the bottom bracket due to the 74° seat tube angle and the supplied zero setback seat post. This is totally a me problem. Most riders don't have a 9.5cm saddle setback like myself. And no I didn't choose the wrong frame size. It's why I personally advocate for 73° seat posts. But maybe just the trend towards being more over the BB isn't something I can get behind (no pun) personally. Anything less than a 9cm saddle setback and my knees start screaming at me.
can you please share some picture of the full built?

I've sent an email to Peter ,waiting for his feedback.
Looking for a wheels with rim CS-D50CU-31 (marble finishing) laced with hub r248 grey/titanium color 24holes and ceramic bearing.
I'm not sure regarding which spokes will suits me better.
I'm a (quite) powerfull rider at 87kg and i would like to have a wheelset under 1350grams if possibile.
Any suggestion between carbon spoke (max 3mm Wide) or steel or the new one in Titanium
Thanks

Nope, I created it to see what they were hiding and still kept denying me access to these frames while only presenting the same ones everyone can see...
Correct,I did the same.
The point is that they need to allow you to see everything
Anyway,there is also a specific tread on this forum,some time ago was available on the website

Unless workswell is hiding models, it's not from them, but it vaaaguely looks like their [306] - already closed down the tab.
It's 28C max apparently, which is very odd, as it uses M40J carbon (old vs new)
Unless you weigh 50kg / ride purely fresh asphalt, and even then, probably a very bad idea to buy chinese frames that max out at 28C, it's anti future proofing and anti resale value.

The frame has speeder 55 vibes (but isnt) and Pinarello vibes, so it also has Peter Grand Turismo vibes (but isnt).

If it cleared 32C, i'd look into it more, it looks aero, and the shapes are quite pleasing.

Also, by now, isn't there a proper ML bot that can search the internet to find the OEM for this thing? Because obviously, it was bought off a catalogue in china.

it's a mix of Venge / SL6 or SL7 / Pinarello / Rose Xlite, with a mean looking fork.
They actually hide some models.
It'clearly reported on the web site
To see every model available you need to create an account

Lots of "indipendent brands" use this frame
In Italy there is also ciocc.
Should be workswell but didn't sell this frame as b2c (already asked)

I want it! ;D ;D ;D
Any news regarding availability and geometry chart?

Hi all,I have a question regardin this frame and hopefully some one can answer
-geometry chart: I see two different value in reach and stack reading the geometry on tavelo website and on Pandapodium (size XXL) I think that the reason is that one table consider the mandatory spacer and one don't
-handlebar/ stem dimension : I see some review that Indicated that the real length is bigger than what advertised, can you confirm that? I should go for a shorter length to reach the desired handlebar reach? What is the angle of the stem?
-tyre clearance: I see that the 32 mm is listed ,do you think that there is a space for something bigger? I use conti gp5000 on 24 id Tim and the real dimensioni od the tyre is 34.
Thanks in advance

So it looks, that is not heavier just the 24mm titan version, but also new V2 alu 28,99 version. Ordered on monday 11.11. 172,5mm DUB alu version, so I'm wonder what arrive in the package.
As for price, ordered with pwm from Lexon official store and used 80$ Aliex. coupon, so final was 148$ for crankset alone, but waiting if it will be catch by customs  :) (I am from EU)
what is the total price included the power meter? did you buy the shimano compatible one?

Looks quite a bit like my LT268. Both the 268 I built had BB holes the right size too... You can get Oak decals for ten euro if you like trees. Got my tractor logo for that much.
Did you get your stickers from AliExpress?
Do you have a store to suggest?

hahaha please tell me you re going to use nicer wheels than this. I dont actually like pinarello or what they stand for, but i do respect their commitment to design and what not, and your combo here is just wrong :p
As I said,if ride good,new wheels will be installed
At least is a budget build

Situation improved by shortening the rear brake cable guide.
Here is my built
Frame: Velobuild 218 XXL rim brake ,120/42 handlebar
Brakes Shimano Ultegra r8000
Shifters ,front & rear derailleur Shimano 105 r7000 11 speed
Crank set Shimano 105 r7200
Chain kmc
Cassette zitto Ultralight 11-34
Dtswiss 460 rim with Shimano 105 hub
The majority of components were recycled ,the scope of the build was keep the price lowest as possible
Final weight 8.6 kg for less than 1000€ (also considering the price of the stuff take from old projects)
If the bike ride as it looks I will change the wheels whit a carbon pair,maybe elite edge or boty or scribe (looking for inner rim wider then 20mm)

P.s. the handlebar tape will be changed with a black one
