Quote from: Uberflo on <strong>Today</strong> at 06:41:17 AMYes. I am in the process of ordering a frameset but awaiting a response on the seatpost length.

Where do you order from? So far, I've only found stores in Italy or Spain.

You mean the replacement frame for my replacement frame? Unfortunately, not yet—since I'll be away from home for a whole month, I'd have to ask Jack to send the frame later. I don't think I'll get the frame until early to mid-November.

It's a copy of the Simplon Pride 2, which is a road bike rather than a time trial bike, so yes, you can turn it into a road bike.

Here you go. From the owner

I hope we can leave out the dildo on the cockpit. 😂

Does anyone have any information about the new Rufon frameset? It's just a rendering so far, but it looks awesome.

I know what carbon looks like. This is my 10th frame with a raw carbon finish. I don't think you understood what I meant. This isn't just a regular seam between two carbon plies. When the frames come out of the mold, they're sanded down to remove excess resin and prepare the surface for painting. However, excessive sanding can cut through the top layers of carbon. That's exactly what happened here at the edge in the middle of the down tube. When you press on it, you can feel that the carbon layer isn't thick enough here anymore.

I suspect that when sanding before painting, too many layers of the carbon layup were sanded away. I think 4 or maybe 5 layers were sanded through, as you can see in the photo. Designs with edges don't seem to be ideal in this regard. I'll test the next frame very carefully.

They're going to send me another frame. Then I'll have three identical frames here, two of which are broken. What should I do with them? 😅 Does anyone have any craft ideas for the broken frames?

Hey guys, got mine replacement frame today.
I can see they improved things.
E.g. the mounting of the bottle cage screws inside the downtube.
Unfortunately the frame is broken, see the Video.
Transportbox is not damaged, so i guess it happened before packaging.
Very frustrating.

I really like the frame, but unfortunately I think the fork is a little too skinny.

The correct answer is: "We're trying to provide him with a new frame."

I don't have it yet.
But so far, Jack has been very reliable when it comes to things like sending the new fork crown.

When the time comes, I'll be able to directly compare whether a new layup has actually improved the frame's stiffness.

Jack wants to send me a new frame. I'm curious to see if it works out and if anything has changed about the frame compared to the first versions.
