just to update...
log around thousand kms already(but only +700kms on my c606 the rest on my bc107...

able to ride my first grand fondo with this build... im dead  ;D ;D ;D

my update with my builds...
to remove my doubts on my headset, i bought spacer set to add 10mm to create enough space between top cap and the expander plug...

My TPU blew while in the garage due to the weak PVC rim tape I bought! I always inflate to 80 PSI before riding. I’m not sure if my pump meter is broken, but luckily it didn’t happen during my gran fondo.
so now, i replace even the rear wheel with a rim tape for tubeless that comes along with the rim, i hope it will not be like the pvc tape.

uhhh my STI nameplate on the left side was gone... waiting for this replacement come and ride again...

here's my old bike... just to have a reference on the "ride feel" difference...

power meter is the same as i only transfer from old to new build.. 2watts better on the new bike...
the speed is a bit doubtful on the new bike as i only refer on the GPS speedo of the computer while the old one uses some wheel speed sensor...
both ride uses the same computer...

the big difference is the "ride feel" against the old bike...

I wish and hope that my build will last a thousand miles...

I already tried my build on some climbs(june 7th) on which i said it is more stiff than my old bike...

my power and speed on the new bike is better than my old...
i dont know maybe i am more excited to ride the new one ;D ;D ;D ;D

sweat ride today...

adjusted the headset as i feel there's a gap/play... tightened and seems okay now...

Any updates bro? Dont leave us hanging in the dark? :D

went for a month of annual break...

getting back on my bike after a month...
tires are dead flat ;D
bought a magene C606+H303+S314 and tested today...
i love the data related to pedal balance, left 46% right 54%

well the bike still seduces me to pedal harder  ;D ;D ;D ;D
no issues yet until now...

I'm still on the fence if I want the full internal or semi-internal cabling Aethos clone. Full internal looks nicer, but it's a hassle when flying with a bike box. How was the buying experience from that seller? How long did it take to prep and ship your bike?
for the frame, placed last 31st March and he showed me photos by 29th April then start to get logistics update by 5th May and reached to collection center by 15th May... 45days total and its reasonable...
i didnt pressure the shipment since i want at least the paint works to be at best possible result and so far, its fine ;)

last night ride...

Nice build! Did you have a good experience buying from the Ride Love store? I might be interested in buying an Aethos clone frameset from them.

my first experience of carbon item from aliexpress was the rim brake wheelset (dura-ace) from Zhou Shi Jun (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004941919441.html) and he has frames of dogmaF and even painted Aeroad before in his Store... when I decided to get the frame, it's not listed anymore so he said he has another store that lists the aeroad and dogmaF.... thats "ride love"...

aethos clone also one of my option but doesnt include the handlebars then i opt for dogmaF
take the black one, cause the white one is exact copy of aethos with cable entry in the downtube (topheadset is not 52mm)... black one is full internal (topheadset is 52mm) and needs a good headset(kocevlo full handlebar with headset is i think fits on this aethos https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006561735597.html)...

aethos black full internal cable headset 52mm

hello, great build. looks amazing. one question, i do not see calipers on the list, which one did you mount it? thanks!!
calipers are included in the groupset... 105 hydraulic brake sets...

13
logged around 103kms already... the bike is stiff compared to my old bike, feels like a solid wall...
i dont know if its just in my head but once you roll, you want to full gas all the time, it feels light or whatsoever cant explain but i am gasping  ;D
need to get use with the handlebar height, it was 2cm lower than my old bike, riding/sprinting on the drop needs more training...
my favorite part is the brake... very far from the rim brake, bite right away and no worries of wear on the rims...
as we said, maybe we are just enjoying our build... i just hope not to see any cracks soon... ;D

14
for the groupsets, anracee, yiwu, and chaser are my go-to picks in aliexpress...

15
i dont know if this will help but get the SPCycle R065 or any model that has beefer bottom bracket... the difference on the stiffness will be immense...
