The nitrogen 2 looks like the perfect bike for those of us in the Aluminati! Shame the sizing is not bigger for us tall lads. The frameset in red looks amazing.

I got it out for a 25 mile ride before the rains returned. Although steel isn’t as sublime as my other titanium bikes, it’s a fantastic ride that I’d take over carbon any day. It’s not the quickest bike that I own, but it’s insanely comfortable. 28 is definitely the maximum tire size. Plenty of width on the chain stays, but the seat stay is the limiting factor, especially once you install the front derailleur clamp.

I can't wait to try it. I've ordered some vittoria corsa 28s so hopefully they won't balloon too much. I got the bloody brake house routed, took about 2hrs of frustration. In the end I got insanely lucky when frustratedly I was ramming a gear cable down the opening and it magically popped out the other side   

Enjoy it! I just finished building mine with an L-TWOO RX12 groupset. The internally routed rear brake line was a bit of a hassle, but overall, everything went together smoothly.

Looks stunning, hope it rides well! this is my first steel bike so i really will see if it is real.

Suprisingly the frame seems to have some sort of black coating on the inside. Also the front fork thru axle design has done away with the weird nut seen in the Trace Velo build video.

Sorry to spam the thread. But i have the 3 bolt m-020 variant, seen here paired with the riro redhawk.

Here we go !

If it IS crap then please at least let them (and us) know.

I'm sure it will be some level of crap, but if it's mostly functional it will fit my needs. I've always wanted a £150 cadence sensor anyway 

I ordered one during the black friday sales. With a PayPal discount it cost me a grand total of £253. Amazing value regardless of its quality. I ordered it in blue.

Last week I got a WhatsApp from the seller saying the factory are making some changes to the design and would i ne happy to wait a little while longer. I was like sure, who knows what bike it is coming but ill let you guys know.

I'm going to build it up using parts left over from other projects

Groupset will be a 10 speed unholy mix of tiagra brifters and calipers. 11 speed dura ace FD and 11 speed ultegra rear derailleur (the cable pulls between the tiagra 4700 and later 11 speed match)

Kalloy uno stem, deda zero 100 bar

Elite one seatpost and clamp, 3d printed carbon saddle (all ali)

Got some 50mm elite wheels  where I will try squeeze a 32mm tyre in (trace velo video suggests its possible)

Last but not least will be a riro redhawk carbon crankset.
