I'm interested in getting this frame, but i would really like to run my 32mm Contis S TR tubeless. My rims are 21mm internal. What is your setup and do you think there is enough room to comfortably run 32mm tires?

Yes, there is even a small mud gap there.

Nice build. If you don't mind me asking, what is the sticker on the seat tube? Looks like UCI approved sticker location. Are the frames now UCI legal? Not that it matters to me but just curious. I know that their wheels are UCI approved but not the frames. Maybe that has changed.
Thanks!

This is a joke UCI Illigal sticker. Already 6.76kg, work ahead to change the crank.

This is almost the final build. The cockpit is from Farsports, 32mm Continental 5000 tires (to be changed to Veloflex). The weight without bottles, computer, and tool bag is exactly 7 kilos (with all mounts) in size M. I am satisfied with almost everything: the play in the steering disappeared after installing Farsports spacers, but the front rotor rubs a bit during sprints.

There's a new review on Hygge, this time by a supposedly more experienced reviewer. In his two videos, he brilliantly pointed out all the flaws in the production of those cheap Chinese frames: voids around the head tube, low-quality paint, and so on. The only difference is that the frame he showcased without a handlebar costs a whopping $1600. I hope no laptops were harmed during the filming. 

As a replacement, it's worth looking for:

- New screws and nuts for the stem (stock ones are of a silly color, heavy, and soft).
- Make sure to replace the nut set in the seat post - they are super soft. Preferably, include the screws.

I can't specify the exact dimensions of these parts; I'm waiting for delivery, and if they fit 100%, I'll share the links.

The small hardware is the only thing that didn't satisfy me in the frame set

Why do you need these axles, weight? The standard frame set comes with a lightweight set of both axles, totaling 56 grams.

I'm curious, are your hydraulic hoses not internally routed into the bars? Also Hygge posted your photo on FB, I commented the same thing on the FB photo! 

This is an "extra" part sticking out. On that day, I went a bikefit procedure, and as a result, the specialist allowed me to remove some spacers from under the handlebar. Now, of course, there's handlebar tape installed, and the excess steerer tube has been cut off.

My build came out at 6.75 kg without handlebar tape. I've already ordered a seatpost clamp «upgrade» from Elita One , so we'll see what I can do to break the 6.8 kg limit.

I am debating between the velobuild vbr 177 and this Hygge model s. Any of you guys with the model s that also has experience with the vbr177?

As I see, Velobuild has updated the model 177 and now it supports tires up to 32mm, it also has a round seat post and a slightly higher stack. Additionally, the manufacturer indicates EPS molding on the website. Considering this, I would prefer Velobuild.

Finished assembling a bike on this frame. Wanted to share my thoughts with future buyers. This isn't some cheap Chinese wonder, you get what you pay for. Inside, there will be ugly blobs of glue, and there's an unsightly gap between the seat post hole and the frame. The di2 cable routing was intricate; I had to put in some effort to route the cable for the rear derailleur. Otherwise, everything's fine, done one indoor workout - it works quite nicely.

The matte black color is quite odd because of all these carbon reflections; perhaps I should have gone with a different finish.

Upd.
The 32mm tires fit, leaving a small mud clearance.

It seems that the manufacturer has changed the steering kit, the hardware used to be more varied before.
Otherwise, I have no complaints, the frame looks amazing, I hope it will be the same in use.
The weight for size M with steel screws is 980 grams, the fork with the axle - 388, the seatpost - 202, the handlebar with stem (400/120) - 368.9 grams.

I'd like to specifically note the presence of carbon highlights under the matte varnish of the black version without decals. Usually, manufacturers hide imperfections in the frame's weave under black primer, but in this case, the primer seems transparent. This speaks highly of the manufacturer.

Same set of headset parts here
