Quote from: DrRoB on <strong>Today</strong> at 01:55:57 AMCould someone please tell me the current delivery time for this frame, from the moment of ordering until it arrives in Europe? I was actually interested in the Lightcarbon, but with a 3-month lead time, it's no longer an attractive option for me.

Ordered October 3rd, received in Belgium October 30th.

Finished mine today, it's an XL in glossy clear coat over raw carbon. I'm coming from an Ican Graro and wanted more tire clearance, most of the parts were reused.

The frame weight was 1486gr, the fork (uncut) 528gr.

- Wheels: Zipp XPLR 303 S
- Tires: Pathfinder 2.2 (596gr and 598gr not the lightest from what i have seen)
- Crankset: Force wide
- Chainring: Stone 44t
- Bar: FSA A Wing Pro
- Stem: FSA SMR II
- Headset: FSA NO.55R (used the mondince supplied lower bearing and put shim under FSA top cap so that it wouldn't rub on the frame)
- Shifters: Sram Apex
- RD: Rival 13 speed XPLR
- Cassette: Rival 13 speed
- Calipers: Rival
- Rotors: Sram Centerline X 160mm
- Chain: YBN MK13e
- BB: BikeOne T47
- Pedals: Shimano spd xtr m9200
- Bottle cages: Ahyka aero (had to flip the storage door upside down to remain acces)
- Seatpost: Merida S-Flex carbon seatpost
- Saddle: Prologo Scratch M5 AGX
- Computer mount: CloseTheGap raceday4 evo dm (direct stem mount)

Total weight as seen in the pictures: 9.6kg

My order got delayed for the 3rd time. Now it's looking it will be almost 2 months after ordering they can send it. But as someone said XL frames are usually the last ones made and I ordered the dark green color with decals. Looks like I can't properly test it before next spring.

Ordered a FM376 today, it's an XL ...
Pretty excited, wanted to try a frame with bigger tire clearance

Where did you get the chainstay protector from, the design looks cool?

Got it from R2 bike https://r2-bike.com/DYEDBRO-Gravel-Frame-Protection-Set-Stay-Free-matte-black

About 8mm clearance in the fork

Stone 44t chainring arrived, no extra spacers necessary.

Very nice,have you been out for a ride on it, if so what were your first impressions?

Did a short 1h ride on the road and I have no complaints so far. I felt comfortable in every position on the handlebar. I did a cobbled section and I survived 
The Graro is about 600gr heavier dan my previous roadbike, not that I really noticed, and will be a bit lighter dan my previous gravelbike.

It might be worth playing around with the spacers and adding another 2-3mm to the drive side and seeing if it works ok. I've .

Small update, 42t chainring on backorder, installed 44t again with 2mm spacer.
I am thinking of ordering a 44t Pass Quest chainring, it has 3mm offset. I believe Sram has 6mm offset, so Pass Quest should work without spacer ?

And some pics as road set up, those are 28mm Michelin PowerCup tyres but measure 30mm

Some bike info:
ICAN HBG01 handlebar 420x110
ICAN Aero 52 WD wheelset
Sram Apex shifters, brake, chain, crankset
Sram Force Rear derailleur
Sram Paceline 160mm rotors
Sram XG 1250 10-36 cassette
Elite Leggero Carbon bottlecages
Selle Italia Flite Boost Gravel TI 316 saddle
Look Kéo Blade carbon pedals
OG-EVKIN CM-005 Carbon Computer Mount (the wahoo insert was really tight and a part broke off, replaced it with another insert I had lying around, I hope the mount itself is of beter quality)
ZTTO chain guide (never had a dropped chain on my previous gravel bike except my last race  where it happened twice, that bike had Apex mechanical groupset)
Weight: 8.45kg (with Wahoo Bolt v2 installed)

It's the "celeste" colorway.
No issue's, one of the easiest builds I have ever done. Only had to route brake cables as I'm running sram axs.
One thing I also need to do is tighten the bottom bracket a little more. Didn't have the right tool for this.
Cover plate is from aliexpress, but isn't the right size. I had to cut it to fit, it will do for now. I also put a plug in the rear derailleur hole.

were you not tempted to set up your bike 2x .

Not really, my mind was set on 1x for this build.
I'm stuck for now, waiting on chainring so I can finish the bike. Only need to install chainring, chain and bar tape.

Do you really need a 44T? I have a 36T chainring on my gravel bike.

The "Graro" will replace my old road and gravelbike
On the road bike I had 50/34 with 11-28 cassette, On the gravelbike a 38t with 11-36 cassette.
I now have a wheelset with 10-36 for road and 11-44 for gravel (gravel wheelset had shimano body)
When looking at gearcharts the 44t seemed to give me the same gears I had on my previous bikes.
Will try the 42t first, don't really want to be messing around with spacers.

I only used the spacers that were provided, 2.5mm non drive, 5.5mm drive side.
Tyres are 44mm Tufo Thundero, they measure 45mm and I have about 6mm space left between tyre and chainstay

Received my frame
I have sram wide crankset, 44t chainring doesn't fit. For the moment I have the 40t chainring on but will order a 42t.
Picture is with the 40t chainring

Looking at this frame in a 58cm and would build it up with a sram groupset. For a 1x, would a 46t chainring fit ? Sram does have their dub road wide crankset but don't know if that will be necessary.

UPDATE:
Ordered a 58 in celeste colorway
Asked some questions, got some answers from person named Perry:
-asked for fork with no holes, was no problem
-Max 1x chainring is 42t 
-BB is the t47 85.5
-for 1x is there a fully closed cover for front derrailleur cable hole -> no
