Finally i got on the bike for a short 10k test ride. The weather here in south Germany at the moment is just grey and cold.

I ride my Cube Nuroad Gravel for three years now and only had a second old Peugeot Retro Road Bike for some short rides.
Recently my GF bought a Liv EnviLiv Advanced, which is quite similar from the geometry and position for me.
So i don't have a ton of different and many riding experience with a lot of bikes.

But what i felt yesterday was, that the frame is quite flexi?
As soon i stood up for some sprinting, the brake rotor rubbed against the brake pads. Sure the wheels have also some flex in it, but since the rotor is mounted on the axle the rubbing would come from the brake caliper moving?
Even during the seat post adjustment at home, i saw quite a flex at the BB when standing on one pedal.
But the brake calipers have a bit more room to move them a bit on the mounting position.

On the other hand, it just feels fast for me 
Compared to the Liv, it's a bit less "aggressive" riding, i mean the feeling when turning and the overall handling when you try to ride hands free. It's a bit more stable.
Compared to my Gravel, it's very unstable and aggressive/responsive 

I'm pretty happy with the bike 


Components working fine for now.
Only the front chainrings are quite "loud" compared to the 2x12 105 from the Liv.

Thanks for the review! Hope you enjoy the bike. Did you get any rattles from storage door? A few pages ago someone mentioned on their YouTube video that they had to add some tape to stop it from rattling.

Hi All, the frame finally arrived last week, and was able to build the bike. I have to say I'm really happy with how the build turned out and with the quality of the frameset and paint. So far I've only ridden the bike for about ~130km so I still need more time to do a full report on the ride quality, but so far it feels really comfortable and reactive.
