Love it

On these kinds of seatposts, do you still use carbon grip paste?

Hambini Gran Turismo video out now!

Very good video indeed 

I've never installed di2 before but I suppose it goes thru the same hole as a mechanical installation and I'll have to plug the other mysterious hole.

As for the washer, I attached picture.

1130g with a 3-stage paint
Found a picture in the thread showing 1018gr with normal paintjob so 100gr extra. With uhd hanger and bottle cage screws.

Whats the hole under the hanger used for?

Also, the hardware included a thin metallic washer. Where is that used?

Cant wait to join the club

What do I need for di2 battery installation in the seat post?

Just a couple of logo concepts. Let me know what you guys think!

Definitely the second one.
Maybe try to strech it even more down the downtube with or without more spacing between the letters.
- Revenger name has to go. We need a better name for the frame

Logo for head tube is classy as well. 10/10 would ride this with those decals Peter.

If you mount the rotor correctly flat, then no issue.

On current Gran Turismo frameset, we will remove all decals except the XMCS or CARBON SPEED on downtube for now. After we get our US trademark approved, we will figure out more western design.

We are designing 2026 road racing frameset as well, which would be released in April 2026 I think.

I honestly dont dislike the XMCS branding on the downtube if it looked like the one bsharp77 posted.
Else I would prefer a matte black no decal bike and do the paint at a later time.

I fully agree, I specifically chose this frame because I think the simple looks are superior to designs of many other chinese manufacturers like Winspace, Lightcarbon, Elves,  etc.. I'm okay with branding done right (e.g. seka) as long as it is somewhat minimal and not plastered all over (e.g. elves). However, the "Revenger" decal is enough to put me of this frame. I understand the desire for brand recognition but I think there has to be a solution inbetween the new design and the old approach. While I don't love the current XMCS font, I think the XMSC decal does look kind of cool, especially with the holographic design some people suggested here.. I hope you reconsider parts of this design and name, because the frame geometry is awesome.

I'm liking this mirror finish decal more and more.
Comparing the geometry to my VBR068 with my limited knowledge the XMCS seems to be the better option, also in 56. Im 185 with 88cm inseam.
I could use a bit shorter reach. I'm on a 90mm stem and also my toseek handlebar has 10mm more reach than normal I think. I have like 45mm of spacers.
I wish to build a disc brake bike before I invest in new wheels, but for 1500USD the frame better be real good I dont plan to use wider tires than 28 or 30mm.

I currently ride a non-branded velobuild. I could ride this frame with the XMCS logo though, but I would opt out the other decals on the chain stays and top tube.

Hmm I see from my ebay history I bought two different clamps initially for the 7x10 carbon seat. Specialized and trek/bontrager.
But later I ordered for round rails, and that was this item here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/202604990703
For Trek/Bontrager. And that is the clamp I'm using now with the fizik seat.

I didn't really like the clamp that came with the frame. I bought another from ebay. I think it was from here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/302721145535
I got for both round rail and 7x10mm oval.

I first mounted a carbon seat from toseek, but later switched to a fizik seat.

Hello

Glad to hear you like your bike.
I've built one this year as well. And I had no previous experience. Watched a lot of velobuild's videos on youtube that inspired me to build one.
Some things came easy and some took a bit of research. When tightening the headset nothing would turn. Had to buy shims to put under the bottom cap. Didn't know there were supposed to be something there, and none came with the frame/headset.
Also massive problems with seat post. Ended up with some electrical tape around the seat post and making it as tight a fit as possible.

@jcr: The cable housings stop at the entry point. I was thinking of drilling a bigger hole in the inserts and just run the housing thru, but opted for open wires inside the frame.
