Carbonda Cfr 1056

Will check when I get back home on sunday.

The derailleur 6 vs 7 o clock positioning is the shape of the derailleur itself so not something I can change.

I'm suggesting that this part is at 7:00 and might need to be at 6:00. I've never seen one that didn't point straight down.

@Aesch - I've had it with an Ultegra RX dérailleur that the positioning relative to the cassette was off. It was how it was sitting on the hanger. Unlike some of the road dérailleurs, it's quite easy for something to be misaligned when installing.

I understood, thanks. If I look at other bikes for example the red one in this topic the derailleur is the same.

Thanks all, can't wait to check!

August 11.

Crazy I ordered the same day. Fingers crossed! I have to order some wheels now.

[Aesch]

Cool, look forward to all the builds!

Carbonda will send me a replacement bottom cover/guide.

Ah. I understand.

Sure, but as the frame is shipped (already 4 weeks ago) I have to pay anyway. As written: if only I would have foun this thread earlier...

DPD dropped a parcel today :-) in fact there was a bag with some hardware, including what I ordered, cable guides for the frame holes but no extra seat clamp or whatever. So I'll approach Wing to order some more spare parts.
In general the frame looks really good. I quickly installed the headset (not finally, just dry) and the fork sits with minimal gap in the frame still turning freely, the crown race went smoothly onto the steerer, seat post matches tightly... nothing to complain so far!

PICTURES?

Congratulations! Did you order paint? When did you place your order?

[Michi]

Yes there is, the bottom.guide has a slot where the cable stops and where you can fit one of those long-rip stops before it routes upwards To the derailleur.

Frame arrived today! Like Chrismas and Easter at the same day :-)
I quickly had a look: from a 1st glance I could not identify something like a cable stop in the bottom guide. Rather it looks/feels like I can run the outer cable around the BB upwards to the point where the cable exits the frame. @ Aesch, or did you mean that? Btw. what is meant by "those long-rip stops"?
I'll try to make a picture; says usually more than 1000 words.

Nice! Care to share what components you will be putting on the bike? BB, saddle, etc.?

I emailed to cancel today since I found a Santa Cruz stigmata locally. But I was just was told my frame is painted. Not sure if they painted it right away because I asked to cancel or if it was just the timing but since it's painted I guess I'm keeping it haha.

Katie just sent me the photo. I went matte RAL 2012 it looks rad. I'm stoked.

That looks gorgeous! I have a feeling it looks better in real life, with outdoor lighting.

[Parkerross]

I'm hoping it's like the new Santa Cruz blur color.

I'm planning to but decals of these designs I made. I was originally going to buy the 707 but decided endurance road bike was a better fit. I thought about gettingthe graphics painted but it was more than I wanted to spend.
