I received my frame today and I'm wondering about the spacer that is included.

This is probably a spacer for different headset spacers/cockpit. You might already have one installed on bike and it's just a different height, for future compatibility.

This frame uses proprietary thru axles? Are you kidding me?

I doubt that. On the other hand - there is no real standard in through axles, manufacturers can pick widths, pitch heights and interfaces.

Hello
I'm Roberto from Italy, that is my new bike.

Very nice build, especially the rigid fork that's a bit uncommon.

How did you manage cable routing through the triple cable thing on front? Mine is loose/rattles and is suspect the shifting is subpar due to that.

BTW - there's already a CF-054 topic - https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,3226.0.html feel free to join us!

Hi, I like your clean matte black look and I see that you have the exact seatpost that I just ordered, how is your experience with it?

I have one, but I never figured out how to level it properly, there is no easy access to the front screw, so you need to screw it in by feel before and then tighten the rear screw to level the saddle. However, even when I leveled the seat the front would dive down on weight a bit. I suspect I was missing some part, maybe. After a few months the seat post started creaking and it went to the drawer.

I haven't had this specific model, but we had a couple of other frames from this brand and they were regular IS42/IS52 tapered bearings, probably with spacers. So 41.8mm top, 51.8mm bottom. Can you measure your frame?
