i have wall hangers and i keep my families bikes on that.

I went from riding Canyon Endurace sl to riding this. My endurace is way more comfortable and i will use it for my 100 mile plus rides. The velobuild 218 is faster and takes less effort to hold speeds as it should since it is a aero bike. I had to change the wheels on the velobuild because the ride was way to harsh with hunt 48 limitless wheels. I don't really sprint much so I can't say much about it being sluggish.  I am 5'6" and around 200 pounds riding this frame and I enjoy it will probably enjoy it more when i lose 30 more pounds.

It looks perfect! 

Are they 50mm deep wheels or deeper?

yes they are 50mm deep great set of wheels.

Mad some updates to my bike. I got sram red power meter crank from pro's closet for less than forces crank. I also went with cheaper wheel set and got the elite drive wheels and using tpu tubes. The bike now weighs 7.95kg. Picture is with forces crank which looks better.

What did you use to ceramic coat it ? I tried some cheapo ceramic coating, it looks nice for a day. Didn't last as long as turtle wax.. LOL

I used Adam's UV Advanced Graphene Ceramic Coating Kit. i got it on amazon.

I am about to order an XL frame and wondering about the Matte color.  (I am also quite exited as it will be my first build  )
What does it actually mean?

- is it Matte Black paint or Matte Carbon looks with the only coating?

thanks! 

it is matte carbon. I ceramic coated mine to protect it.

The saddle i have is ANTARES VERSUS EVO R1 ADAPTIVE.
