Well, I don't like it painted on the BBshell

Unpainted or anodized is best

Did you file the BBshell and screw holes during assembly?

The BB threads were not painted IIRC. Nope, there was no need, no overspray and everything just screwed in.

Looks great!
I might order one too...

Wasn't there a paint job on top of the BBshell?

Thanks! I don't think you'd regret it.

No paint on my frame's BB shell, perhaps you're thinking of an anodized/painted bottom bracket? Mine has the plain old Shimano SM-BBR60 bottom bracket.

Which store did you buy it from? I'm also looking into buying a frame now.

What do you think about the paint job?

I bought it from QILEFU Official Store on aliexpress - this is the listing: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804478469196.html
But now this listing is the new version with the headset cable routing, mine is the old version with the external routing holes.

The paint job is just plain, flat black with clear coat. Nothing special at all, but I like it.

What are your thoughts on the open mould version?

Ive been quite interested in this one too but havent found any reviews

I like it. The quality seems good to me. The caliper holes and bottom bracket threads are fine, and the glossy black finish is flawless. It's my only road bike right now, I'm in the market for an aero bike (N+1), but honestly finding it hard to justify since I have no problems with this one.

The flexiest part of my bike is the cheapo alloy handlebars. It has held up to my 8-12 hours a week of riding and training just fine. However I am a 63kg climber, so I'm not really worried about the weight limit or parts randomly cracking or exploding. Would I buy it again? Yes I would.

Happy to answer any specific questions you have.

Listed tire clearance for the open mold version is 28mm, and 30mm for the Onirii. Any chance you could stick an allen key between the fork and tire and chainstays, seattube, and tire and give us an idea of how much space there actually is to work with? Considering building up and painting one of the open mold versions to replace my TCR.

I have this bike in the open mold version (I think - purchased unbranded from a random aliexpress seller last year). I'm running 28mm GP5000s on 28mm wide rims. The tightest spot is between the chainstay and tire, where there's about 4mm of clearance on each side. Fork: ~6mm, seatstays: ~5mm, seat tube: 10mm or more. So I think 32mm GP5000s would fit - I'll give them a try when it's time for new tires.
