You can also use an FSA ACR headset.  Is there enough gap between the top of the compression plug and the top cap?  I thought mine had enough of a gap, but the top gap sinks down into the stem more than other top caps I've used, so it turned out to not be enough.  Added a few mm spacer on top and it tightened right up.

I have this integrated carbonda cockpit and a set of headsets from them too. The fork seatpost is cut below 5mm to hide the entire cap but it's not enough because there is still a noticeable play that I don't have in any of my bikes.

Will my purchase of a new headset solve the problem or do I just have a defect in the frame head?

Do you use or have you used the headset that came with the frame?
After assembling, it seems to me that they have a noticeable slack and everything is already screwed and there is no way to turn it tighter.

Finally I was able to build the two chameleon colored 707, mainly for parts availability, and... lack of time.
Here is the first one with:
Rival AXS shifters, Force crank, GX AXS rear derailleur.
With a CGB01 handlebar with FSA ACR stem.

What crank size did you choose? With how many teeth?

I used a Shimano Dura-Ace SM-BB-R9100 bottom bracket. It was only a little more expensive than the Ultegra one and slightly lighter. The bearings are smaller so I don't know how long it will last with the way I ride this bike, so I may step down to Ultegra next time.


I'm using the GRX cranks as well. The frame uses a standard 68 mm BSA threaded bottom bracket, so there are lots of choices.

Thank you for your response. 

In that case, I will mount there Ninja Token BSA 68 DUB for SRAM cranks.
I wasn't sure which size of the integrated guide to order but in the end I chose 90x420mm.

I hope it will suit me :)

Today I sent an inquiry regarding these wheels.
I got a reply pretty quickly, but these wheels are quite expensive because they do not ship them with the frame.

We can't put the frame in a box with wheels or rims

Shipping together will be too large, shipping cost will be more expensive, and will scratch each other

The CFR707 can use an integrated handlebar and stem with internal routing or a conventional separate bar and stem. I set mine up with a standard handlebar and stem, so mounting accessories is no problem. I went with external routing to make the build and cockpit changes easier.


For sizing, it's worth comparing the CFR707 with your bikes in geometrygeeks, or by making your own spreadsheet. I used the stack, reach, and stem measurements from my road bike to determine which size CFR707 frame to buy. The XL frame has roughly the same stack as my road bike but a longer reach. I compensated with a shorter stem to get the bars where I want them. I could have made a L work, but sizing up moves the front wheel farther ahead. This makes the bike more stable and prevents toe overlap, even with 700x50mm tires. I'm 190 cm.

thx for Your answer
Which bottom bracket You choice?

Good morning everyone.

I'm in the process of ordering the CFR707 but I'm still not sure what size to order.

I am 178 cm tall and my leg length is 84 cm.
Previously I rode a Spec Venge 54 and currently a Trek Speedconcept in size M.
CFR707 will be my first gravel bike and I don't know whether to choose size M or maybe L.

The next thing to consider is the choice of steering wheel. Is it included with the integrated steering wheel or the bridge and the steering wheel separately, because I do not see the possibility of mounting a counter / computer, e.g. Garmin, on the integrated one.

Thanks in advance for all hints and suggestions

I'm still waiting for my first ride. I hope there will be a big difference  :)

Where are you from Poland? Maybe Mazovia?
I am looking for someone from PL who already has this frame to check the size before buying.
