QuoteI 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.

QuoteThis 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.

He did not mount the front derailleur and the cable stop plate is loose in its seat.

Yeah, that's the issue I have. I plan to drill larger diameter hole in the routing thing and run full wires from shifters to mechs, this should solve shifting issues. The plate will still be loose, but it wouldn't matter that much and ir can be glued with double sided tape or something.

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.

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.

Out of curiosity - how did you got rid of the carbon on carbon squeak?

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?

Hey! I just found the frame available near me and I am interested in how it looks built, any chance you could share more pictures, specs and experiences of your build? Thanks!
