I see it on Aliexpress for 580AUD..might pull the trigger on one too

This frame looks interesting but Jessie started to not answer my questions after few hours lol. Looks like this will be off my list

I am also in discussing with Jessie, and do not expect instant responses.  Sometimes its quick reply from her but usually a few hours before a reply. and I am in Australia which only 2 hrs ahead.  I assume she has hundreds of messages to respond to.

attaching frame and handlebar geometry

Has anyone tried if a 35c tires can fit in this frame even the description says 30c maximum?

From the geometry chart, it says it supports 32c...maybe 35c will fit.

they confirmed stack is 524 on 490. Based on this and on the cheap price I ordered the frame :D

what height are you?
Trying to figure out my size for 175cms height.

Yes it's the same case for me too and everybody else (for sure). It costed me 1046 usd in total including shipping which is 115 usd (less 70 usd if you will not opt for paint so 825 usd for frame + parts). Speeder also does the same thing, which I believe is connected with Adapt

That's odd.  Lightcarbon usually includes all the bits and pieces.
User Xtakayamax had attached a screenshot of accessories in a previous post.  Wonder if this Was an additional cost?
I will enquire about the Superlight version.
Thanks

Thats an old topic but it was the only place that I could find to talk about the DP-B02,
As I was looking for something like a tavelo arow, I stumbled on Adapt, long story short, they don’t sell it b2c but Allyn forwarded me to Livia Xu, from Chainbicycle ( liviaxu@chainbicycle.com) and she promptly answered me saying that they have the frameset available, after a few emails, she sent me the geometry chart, pictures of tha actual frame and we proceeded with the purchase.
The frameset costed me including shipping to Germany and handlebars 1064 usd which is not bad at all imho for a udh frameset with this geometry. It got shipped today and I will upload more informations about it when I get the frameset here.
I am extremely satisfied with how easy and smooth the transaction was, and probably I will keep them on my favorites list depending on how the frame is once I get it.

What I wanna know is that if there is anyone riding it atm and what is the feedback on the ride feel and characteristics.
:)

I have been in discussion to purchase the frame, but the quote I've received does not include the accessories :  headset, thru axles, spacers, derailleur hanger, seatpost clamp . Which is not my expectation having purchased Chinese frames before.
Was this the same case with your order?

reagarding "Lightcarbon Standard Design". wendy informed that the red/white paint job is currently the one.

i also received some more pictures

In the side profile picture, does anyone feel the riser bar looks weird?  maybe its a short stem one that makes it look very awkward

Also, for an aero frame the boxy downtube is off putting for me.

Thinking of pulling trigger on this frameset.  Did they offer glossy version or you had to DIY?

Interested in the 105 as well...do you have info on the gearing?

what a sneaky way to "hide" a significant price increase. they must think customers are stupid.

It is incorrect to say that Giant releases updates to the Propel and TCR frames every year: in both cases, the frame remains the same and—as is usually the case—has an average lifespan of three years; what changes are the colors and the build specifications or components.  ;)

Ok,  :) then its the roughly the same case with Winspace. No?

T1500 release date 2017
T1550 release date  late 2022
T1550 gen 2 release date Mid 2024
T1600 release date 2025

I guess what I am trying to say, is NOONE on these forums, is even remotely good enough rider to notice any difference between these frame models. Its all marketing propaganda.  You think someone lost a crit race because they were riding T1500 and not T1600 ?
My point is FOMO aka "upgradeitis" is the issue of consumer and should not the reason to gauge a manufacturer.
Personally I would not buy Winspace based on brand/price/value/resale perspective and recent reports of bad customer service.

Even though you’ve put it rather harshly, I do agree with you to some extent. However, the sheer volume and number of models released by Winspace do give the impression that they’ve been put together without much thought or a clear concept.

I don't get this "sheer volume and number of models".  They have an aero line that's :T1500, T1550 and T1600/Ultra and M6. The all rounder is SL3, SLC5 and Agile.  T1500 was first released in 2017, so four aero models in 9 years.  SLC3 was in 2024, and SLC in 2025. Does that seem a lot? 

Giant releases a new updated model TCR and Propel every single year.

I guess I am playing devils advocate here, as its not fair to always blame manufacturers.  Its their job to sell bikes/frames in volume for profit.

As per the Winspace being a crappy brand I will say, they are just their own worse enemy IMO.  I bought the T1500 Disc during the COVID boom and it was a very good bike with some glaring negatives even for the price.  I then built a T1550 and a SLC3.  After the SLC3 I refused to buy from Winspace anymore, not because the quality or the performance, but because every 6 months a new model would come out and essentially supersede the model you just bought.  At least with Specialzed or Cannondale you don't have the FOMO once you buy since they traditionally run on three year cycles.

I read this and I laugh.  FOMO is YOUR issue, not an issue with Winspace.  You can't blame Winspace because you lack control and falling for marketing propaganda.

Looking forward to this one, much better value proposition than the VRT
