I can also put what I have finally use.

I bought the Lexon integrated gravel handlebar and ended up using the aluminum compresion ring that comes from the frameset supplier and a sealing from Acros to properly seal in vertical direction against the frame. The seal that comes by default was leaving the handlebar touching the frameset (not a good idea)

LEXON UNOX 28,6 mm T1000 Gravel Bar + Acros fork cone IS52 + Aluminium compression ring from Mondince

Still the result is not super optimal but was the way to make it work without having to sacrifice the handlebra

Chinese just want to sell. They will admit failures if you can show to them. Do not expect he is going to tell you all the issues. Also he blamed on his former coworkers, he said not reliable enough but this is an issue in whole china, so I dont blame him back for it.

For me it is very important that before the shipping you guys get a video and a final check of everything before packaging preparation. If not push for it, he wil not have any problem in share it. Also ask for him to check all the screws, he did not check mine and I have a defective one in top tube, I asked back for money and he supported me.

sorry my bad, wrong thread

Thanks, did not know there was a thread already

My build is finally done. 

Assembly went quite smooth. Brake mounts wasn't finished well and paint on the furry in this place was a bit chipped. I gave up with XG4 calipers as they barely worked on the front and didn't work at all in the rear no matter how long I bled them.

Only issue I have now that the storage cover feel of two times during a ride with a bottle and copied paint 🫤. I don't know what going on with it. I tapped it for a now. Does anybody have same issue?

Spec:
FM 336 size L
CSC wheels 29int/34ext 45 mm deep
Panaracer Gravelking ZX 50 mm front / 45 mm rear
Shimano 105 shifters and brake calipers
Shimano GRX RX822
Shimano SLX 7100 cassette 10-51
Kocevlo bar and stem combo
Mixed saddle
Total weight 9kg

(Flat pedals are temporary. I took for a ride with my son as he was racing today)

The other day I did almost and enduro route with the bike, storage cover rocket solid. No issue at all. I onle have had an issue with one of the two top screws made for the top tube bags because it is loose.  I will have to apply loctite or something similar to fix it.

Upgrades are always nice, but are you having any problems with your headset? My stock headset from Mondince has been working flawlessly with zero issues so far.

I do not like the cover they provided for the cable routing, also the compression ring is not the best. Bearing so far no issue, but I would like to change for the Acros one that is well sealed against dust and humidity.

Hey guys, just finished two builds on this frame, both are size M, weight is just below 9 kg with pedals, really happy with it.

I just have a small issue with the magnetic downtube storage cover, as it comes off really easily, it came off with 0,5 l bottle when hitting a small bump at moderate speed. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem?

No issue with the magnet, today I rode with 0.75L bottle and made its job. Way was a bumpy one, actually some water went oout due to vibration but it worked.

I wanted to ask you which handlebar and stem have you mounted. I am thinking in building a second one for my wife and it seems to be a good choice. Thanks

by the way, can someone recommend a top tube bag to fit into this frame? any recommendation?
