Any feedback for this frame? Looks interesting, it's geometry is same as Tarmac SL7 but with more aero tube shapes and allows bigger tires. I sent an email to winow sports and told me that is not yet on the website (http://www.winowsports.com/) because is brand new.

So it is closer to Venge than Tarmac?

[KalviDj]

Oh, I forgot the Venge , yes is almost a Venge not a SL7

I sent Terry a mail too.

"I’ve sent the complete bike on Aliexpress.
You can order directly on my Aliexpress.
If okay you can confirm me what frame size do you need then I can prepare."

In the meantime, can anyone say anything about the frame? It looks really nice.

[WhityWhite]

He sent me a picture of a bikebuild with this frame   

Looks VERY nice.

What reputation does Winow have? It's a very interesting frame for what i'm after (32C road bike, essentially).

Bit the bullet and ordered this frame with extra derailleur hanger. Will see how it goes

I ordered 2, because why get 1 when you can get 2?
Yet to be shipped to me.

When did you order your frames? My frame hasn't been shipped yet either, not sure what's the usual time as it is first time I purchase a frame from AliExpress

Also.. That stack is bit scary. Tarmac already has geometry on aggressive side and this bike has even lower stack

Few weeks ago, i didnt go via AliX. I wouldnt recommend them if speed is of the essence
Yeah those frames sadly aren't for me, i got something with a more relaxed geometry, i have long legs. they look so cool though!

I see. I'm not in a rush to get the frame, so waiting isn't a problem. Tho if they don't hurry up, Aliexpress might automaticaly cancel the order

Small update: talked with seller a bit, they sent me a picture of frame, extras and invoice, so I guess it will ship soon

[BalticSea]

Frame was sent last Saturday (09-02), delivery is expected on Monday. That's fast.

I have received the frame just recently and have it assembled to a nearby shop with ceramic BB, OSWP and wheelset from elite wheels and man, it's very responsive

Did you have any issues with the front derailleur? I believe it is the same design as some Velobuild frames that can make routing the cable difficult, also it is riveted, which I may not trust personally. Haven't built my frame yet, still have to fix the mistakes of my paintjob

As of this writing, the fd hanger is still holding up.  Try to check the youtube video of trace velo if you'll come across with this issue.
