Is this your frame? if so, how's the finish on the headset holes and bb? looks really good although somewhat far from the 1100g quoted by VB (for size M clear coat without metal parts)

Top headset bearing was a very tight fit and I had to use some sandpaper on the rear dropout to fit the wheel in there. I don't have a bottom bracket yet but I have uploaded a picture.

Yes! It's a lot heavier than expected but I really like how it looks.

That's heavy. Even my Tideace CR068 Aeroframe is only at 1300g at size L.

very beautiful, the front is really spectacular!

The weight is a shame.. my ttx38 which is a frame that has been on the market for a few years weighed 1150g painted

the BB doesn't look faced, that's not gonna be great, are the brake mounts faced?

No.

oof, that's not reassuring

It is heavy but not so much. For example Ribble Ultra Aero is 1200g for the M size frame

DANG! That looks so aero, I could not care less if it's heavy. Or how awful it will be in the crosswinds.

Imagine pulling up to the coffee shop on that thing. Along with your nuts dragging on the floor.

Lolz, nearly made me spit my warm beer out

Ridley Noah Fast 3.0
Frame (XS) 1132g
Fork 505g

I feel better about the weight :-)

ETA... When you look at her, there's about twice as much carbon as you'd find on an SL8, shrug.

I really like it. Only this seat post head is a no-go.
Any chance of finding another suitable seatpost that has less gap between the saddle and the seat post?
It looks as if the saddle is just sitting on top and doesn't belong to the bike.

One 5mm spacer is required otherwise it's not possible to tighten one of the screws.
