??

New fork should have a standard 1 1/8" steerer, like the other fork option; Canyon is the one with weird standards but even they went with a 1 1/8" steerer on the new Grail, so their cockpit should work just fine.

Thank you. I somehow remembered that Canyon has a different Standard. Then this will be my Black Friday frame.

i actually mailed them yesterday just to confirm. The only difference is the fork as mdp3 already discussed above.

I assume the new fork is still 31.8 mm in diameter? I was thinking about mounting a Canyon gear groove cockpit. But I guess thats not possible.

TT-x38 has a potential to be a Tri frame too.. Just need toptube boss holes, and maybe underside downtube ala Orbea ordu, for ppl to mount Elite aerobottle down there, but as storage kit(+functional flares)

I have an X38 and have also considered the conversion. Kienle did this with his Foil for the Norseman. So it should be possible. (He did not win though).

I just noticed that there is a matching decals kit for Redbull Bora on Speedy Decals. Hmm...

The weights are spot on with the original one for both frame and fork. How much did the seat post weight?

Thanks for the build report. I'm also interrested in a SL8 replica but was a bit worried about the fragile looking rear triangle. I would almost prever if the frame was 300g heavier than the original. But maybe that is an irrational worry. 

Hi. While looking into a Falath Evo I noticed new colors marked with Evo+. After asking Elves about it, I got the comparison below. T47 Bottom bracket and pretty different geometry.

Have you seen the new aluminium Crux?

that's a pretty gangster build for a commuter bike! i especially like the mullet big ring + huge MTB cassette. What group & gearing are you running?
For the bearings, can't help, i'd ask tantan directly

Thank you  . It was not itended to be a commuter bike. But it is so much fun, that I haven't ridden my actual commuter bike in half a year.
It is a SRAM rival AXS groupset (46 chainring) and a GX eagle derailleur (10-52 casette). Works well.

Hi,

I have been riding my X38 for almost a year now. It has a quite hard life as I also commute on it in every kind of weather.
Currently I am thinking about a rebuild (there are some creaks and I forgot the foam housing for the brake hose). Does anyone know the headset bearing specs? Would a standard ACR bearing fit? This would also allow me to get a new narrow cockpit.
Thanks.

Regards,
Michael

I'm also interested in a TT bike. I found the VB-TT-023. https://www.velobuildmall.com/products/vb-tt-023-new-t47-carbon-fiber-time-trial-frame-set-disc-integrated-cable. Looks relatively modern.

My ideas for the upcoming bild:

1) 3D print special extender for the fork, i don't know why, but i like thick forks so much, so i want to extend it a little bit, like this:

2) Print storage box (like BMC), aero bottle and saddle cover underneath

I don't know if i will be able to make it look good, but we will see.

Very cool ideas. Just ordered the frame. A storage box would be the perfect excuse to finally get a 3D printer.

I'm planning a similar 1x build. I assumed a wide crank would be necessary to fit a big chainring (>50)?
