Here we go... 95% ready.Not gonna lie. Looks good
I have my bike for over a year now and about 8000km. The bike is excellent with a couple of caveats. I've built a lot of chinese frames at this point (2 velobuilds, lightcarbon, spcycle) a this one is above all of them by a huge margin in terms of quality but it's a bit more expensive as well. Ive never owned any of the premium chinese frames so don't really know how it would compare.
some minor problems I've had are clear coat overspray in the headset that i had to clean up and a creaky seatpost. I haven't solved the seatpost problem completely and it keeps coming back. My saddle is set up almost as high as it can go so there's quite a bit of leverage that is contributing to creaking.
Not a huge fan of the handlebar too. Finish quality is fantastic but it's a little heavy in my opinion and a shape does not work for me: drops are too round and I can't find a comfy hand position, also not a fan of a short reach.
I switched from a super comfy endurance bike so the frameset felt quite harsh initially and I could not find a saddle that would work with this geo but this problem was solved since.
TL;DR
Frame is great. would buy again but without a cockpit
