dcrf26 frame - Scott Foil?

[abdbeg]

My ideas for the upcoming bild:

1) 3D print special extender for the fork, i don't know why, but i like thick forks so much, so i want to extend it a little bit, like this:


2) Print storage box (like BMC), aero bottle and saddle cover underneath:


I don't know if i will be able to make it look good, but we will see.

Very cool ideas. Just ordered the frame. A storage box would be the perfect excuse to finally get a 3D printer.

Can someone identify what color code this might be?

The more I look at this frame, the uglier it looks to me. It's as if someone asked AI to design a bike to look like a bodybuilder juiced on 'roids with boxy a** muscles.

Reminds me of a paint color on Lexus cars, i call it olive green but dont know the exact paint code.

You're not alone

Pat, I noticed you had this ring and are running AXS with it: https://pq-bike.com/collections/130bcd

even though the site says: "Standard 9/10/11/12 speed is available, sram axs cannot"

I guess it works though? I need a 46t ring...

EDIT: Woops see you have the direct mount and it doesn't have that spec, my bad!

So, here's my experience with the frame, btw i bought it from Sequel Aliexpress, so they sell it with different handlebar, they also include ceramic BB:

Positives:
1) The frame is super high quality, fork steerer is round, bearing seat stay is also perfect fit without wobble, inside is clean and not bad.
2) It's stiff, responsive as my aluminium frame, but much more comfortable (i'm living in Uzbekistan and our roads are not that good), i'm using 28c tyre btw. But some folks including my LBS master and friend who saw how i ride and tried bike by themselves, said that it wobbles a little bit and they said that it's not a bad thing, but i didn't noticed, coming from Aluminium frame and and i wanted the same stiffness.
3) Handlebar is also stiff, and really good
4) I thought that i need to replace ceramic bearings in BB, but by a spin test, it spins extremely good.
5) TanTan made a really good thing with their seatpost, that have rails like TT bikes, allowing you for wider range of movement.

Negatives:
1) Handlebar, seatpost clamp have such a tight fit, that they need to be polished or you just couldn't insert them.
2) LBS master said that he tried everything, by couldn't route cables internally, they are visible under stem, he said that holes in handlebar are small.


Sorry for my bad english and low amount of photos, i didn't have time to make them

*update*
Components and everything else for the bike including prices you can find here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NXJkVPyU0gNzbjs-0Z0nKeOFNHTmwJx_35oN1GhVfI0/edit?usp=sharing
The overall weight is 8.3kg

Still looking forward to a community inspired bike frame, i.e. "ChinerTown" (...to agree on a suitable name) official frame with UCI certification, on which all our needs are met 

Have Fusion 360 and a 3d printer will travel....

Anyone would know the length required for the bottom bracket?

[St0mpB0x]

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking here. Pat's experience was that the width between faces of the bottom bracket shell was 86.5mm if that helps.

Thanks for the review! I'm curious what you meant by it not being refined. Just kinda loose? Doesn't go where you expect?
