Component Deals & Selection / Re: Recommendation for protective decals

I went with these pre-cut pieces:

Works great on flat pieces of my frame, but they do tend to let go a bit on very curved places. I would suggest applying a bit of heat to the tape when you apply it on those difficult places to heat up the glue/help the vinyl to deform.

My saddle height is 82.5cm measured from the BB. My seat post is extended 24cm from the frame from this. I use the standard seatpost.

Carbonda uses the FSA SMR system for their integrated cable routing to the handlebar. So you can use any stem/handlebar and/or integrated handlebar that uses that system.

I'm 1m92 with an inseam of 88cm. I have a Carbonda CFR707 XL which I run with a 90mm stem, with which I'm very happy. I based my choice on my Canyon Ultimate CF SL 8 that I also own in an XL size. Geometry between these two bikes is quite comparable.

I made a post describing my full build over on fiets.nl.

When I compare the CFR707 geometry with that of your Factor Ostro VAM size 61, then I notice that the geometry of the CFR707 XL is much closer than that of the XXL size.

I have my seatpost inserted up to the 5.5 mark. So I guess you could extend it for another 5.5cm to compensate for your longer inseam.

I'm also considering buying a CFR707. A question about the handlebar: on the diagram, it looks like the drops are always 480mm apart, irrespective of the width of the handlebar (400, 420, 440mm). Do I read the diagram correct? Does a 420mm handlebar have a larger flare than a 440mm handlebar?
