Final weight is 6,280kg as pictured (but without the Fly bottles)



The build was straight forward. They only issue was the M5 bolt from the seatpost clamp, that I had to switch out with a 5mm shorter one. Fit is not final, need to get lower and a bit longer. There is some weight savings still to make.
I liked the "Mixtape" paintjob that Specialized put on some Tarmac SL6 frames, so I wrapped the frameset with vinyl stripes. Not sure if i'll keep it that way, but thats the beauty of vinyl wrap.

Did about 550km on it in the last 8 days. It basically rides like a TCR. It just gets the job done without any fuss. There is no buss, no noise at all from the bike, which is quite nice. For the ZEN wheels I'll write something down at the propper place. Not as good as the Newmens, a lot better than the XMCS I've had issues with.

Nice build, it looks awesome.

Which rear derailleur hanger did you use for this frame?

@vladik005

Did you build it up with the Wide crank or the normal one to fit 40mm tires?

I am not sure whether 38mm tires will fit with the Ultegra DI2 or the SRAM Force Non Wide.

Pictures of the tire clearance would be appreciated. Thanks!


I use a normal one with 36mm tires. The switch gap is at the same level as the chainstay gap.

 Airwolf put me 7*9 rails by accident. It's been 2 months since I've been in contact with them to get them to send me the correct rails. At the same time I asked them to send me a spare Rear Derailleur Hanger. They demanded 25 dollars for it!
I paid for it, now I get a message that I have to pay for the rails too. This came to light by accident.
They tell me this after 2 months of communication and after sending the rooster.
Horrible comunication. I will never buy anything from AIRWOLF.
I'm off to see the new Ican Graro

If anyone is interested in my set-up, here's a link to the notion table. https://swift-kangaroo-b2d.notion.site/ff011225275a4e67bfe2c1df7f031ba2?v=6d1dd9d304924a29a9a3940fa766476e
Red bought at a discounted Rival price (not counting crankset)
No problems with assembly. Rode about 2000km. If the inner width of the rim is 22mm, then 40mm Tufo will fit in the frame

My frame has finally arrived! Factory painted, size S. $550 on black Friday. Long delivery due to my problems.
Only quality issues are with the seatposts. But the quality is better in depth.

Is it even possible to buy a seatpost from another manufacturer?

Hello, guys! It's a pity I didn't see your messages last month. I've already ordered the frame, and it's almost here.
I hope I won't be too disappointed, but I'm already choosing a new frame. I'm now afraid to ride on such a frame on gravel. But in any case, I will try to assemble the bike and write here about its quality.
