Ordered mine about a month ago with some pretty extreme geo, but not as extreme as Evil Chamois Hagar.
Should be ready to ship next week, but I have yet to receive any photos.

@Ostriker how hard was it to get the special graphics on there?

not that hard, just make sure to be precise and easy to read since they use translators most of the time and review every single graphics and places

I ordered a frame and had issues with the derailleur and rear thruaxle threads on the frame, I showed the seller and they are sending me a replacement frame very quickly too. If anyone was wondering how their service was.

atleast thats good service

mine still flawless

One legitime question, not trying to criticize. Why did you ask for internal routing frame if you where planning to use a standard /  redshift stem?

I also have an internal routed titanium frame and I actually regret having made it internal, but I am not sure if routing it out at the bearing cups is the way to go, as more crap is likely entering the bearing areas through the cable openings, and you still get the harder maintenance of the bearings because of the cables goung through them

i liked the top routing rather than the frame side, cleaner look.

As for the stem, i had one in stock already, i might try full integrated or semi one day but i dont trust carbon handlebars

Your post convinced me to get one myself! Have you gotten a chance to ride your new build?

rode it dozen times, getting a 2nd wheelset for more road (50mm with 32mm tires) and selling my rim brake, def my favorite bike

Which frame are you going for? Or you doing a custom build?

I checked out their store which I found a nice looking gravel frame with a squarish top tube

went stock on this frame + customs logos,

currently in productions, all the plans were according to listing and checked twice with them before giving my confirmation

Hey Chris,

im looking at the same fork and looking at different bolt color but cant find any seller saying the size of those bolt and got random answers which were pretty random.

Can you tell me if those are standard M5 10mm or 15mm?

Thanks!

Bought a frame... will tell you results once received :)

Yes, I have the 11-34 12-speed cassette with a compact chainring in the front and it works great. I think it should be possible to go even bigger.

what cassette are you using? 105?

Thanks

Did anyone manage to fit an 11-34 and test it out?

Also looking to know pulley wheel dimensions and how many teeth... would change those to a purple if mine would fit

Ok, I wasn't precise enough.
You are right, the posted frame has 45 mm. They offer a frame with 54 mm: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005479664240.html.

Thanks for your explanation. For me UDH is probably also coming into gravel (sooner or later). And I want to cut down my spares.
I don't care about external routing on the chain stays. I'd like to have internal on the down tube, sufficient for me.  Which one are you in? What do you want to change?

Adding customs logo and anodized headtube
