I have built Bxt 145 recently. Bought it on Ali. Size 58. Pretty heavy, but I really like the looks. Frame, bottom bracket, rear through axle, UDH, front derailleur mount bracket weighs 1,500 grams.

Looks great Adrian - would you mind letting me know your own dimesions(!) - height, etc - looking at a 58 and wondering how it sizes up in practice.

8,9kg - Sora groupset, Tanke semi-hydraulic brakes (heavy, but have strong stopping power), one bottle cage

188cm, 89cm inseam. Was riding Triban RC500 XL size before. Both bikes are on bikeinsights.com so it was easy to compare geometry of those bikes.

Hi there, from my side I did not recommend this frame. I had problems with slack on headset (too short bearrings). You are not able to proper mount front derailleur mechanic ultegra r8000 because it's rubbing against own cable armor and can not change for little gear  :'( . cracking carbon around saddle post. There is no EPS moulding and from I read on forum there are better frames in that price.

Can you post some pictures of your issues? How bad is that seatpost crack?
