I think the problem with the handlebars is that the lip or tongue of that special spacer is contacting the handlebars. I have seen some markings where it contacts the handlebar and marked them in green. I guess the simple solution is trying to file this spacer down until it sits flush.

QuoteYep, the "garmin" mount could be better in terms of adjustability and I went with mine all the way to the top of that top spacer. If I needed to slide it more backward I would cut the part of it since it's cheap carbon copy. And I'm pretty shure that my handlebars came with silver mounting bolts for the garmin mount (but I'll check and report). And I thing my mount comes with two slits for the bolts, not one long cutout.

Yeah, I had to use the silver bolts since the black bolts that came pre-installed were too short when you used the plastic spacers.

QuoteCongrats on a new frame! I'm looking forward to see how your bike goes when built.

Yeah, thanks. However, I'm not going to fully build the bike all that soon. I have to pick up my PM crank (Magene P505) from my parents' place the next time I visit them since they wouldn't ship to where I live (I bought it from the official Magene website, not Aliexpress). I just put the frame together to check if everything is okay.

I was curious and installed the thing and with the spacers you can minimally move it back so the open space with a wahoo bolt is only 45mm. Still I'm probably going to get another computer mount.

Oh, and what is another small problem is that I received a 30mm expander plug instead of a 50mm. This is not good since the stem clamp is 40mm wide and would clamp below the expander plug...

I received my frameset and noticed 2 things about the handlebars.

First, the special spacer that connects the regular spacers with the handlebars doesn't sit very flush with the handlebars. I am a little worried that this could put concentrate stress on one spot and eventually lead to failure. Do you think this worry is warranted?

Second, this is more about the computer mount, but I ordered the 90mm stem length version of the handlebars and if I wanted to install the computer mount it would probably just barely fit before it would interfere with the special spacer I mentioned before. If anyone is thinking about ordering the 80mm version of the handlebars I am not certain that you could mount this computer mount. Another thing is that adjusting the length of the mount will be a funny thing since if mounted in the very forward position that you are forced into due to the stem tongue sticking out it has about 50mm of space between the handlebars and a smaller form factor computer like a wahoo bolt (I guess only 20mm if you have the 120mm stem). I have no idea if the computer mount bolts are in the same position for all handlebar lengths but something to be aware of.

Nice colors, the red brake calipers compliment the white frame and black wheels.

A question on your full mechanical shifting, do you notice any friction? What housing and cables did you use? I'm planning on going mechanical too and would love to hear your choices

My order has been shipped but DPD tracking didn't show up yet.

Hi all,

I have been reading this topic for the last couple of months and decided to buy a frame beginning of September. Nothing has been shipped yet and the seller doesn't give me more information. How long did it take for you guys until the frame was shipped?

I ordered from their website a few days ago but haven't heard anything yet either. But I don't expect to hear anything before the national day holidays are over. Have you had any contact with the seller?
