the clearance issue solved...

my fault, when tightening the steering cap, I didn't realize that it was already hitting the fork bar, I added another spacer and problem solved


one question, the suspension system of this model, is it with flex in the stays right? because in a vacuum without a shock absorber if I tried to move the rod forward it was very very hard almost impossible to push with my hand.

Thanks guys for the help

hello. first of all congratulations on the bike, very nice.
as for the flex of the seatstays I don't know what you mean by very hard.
another question, is the handlebar the one supplied by seraph? if so could you tell me what length the stem is?
do you have some other photos of the handlebar area I'm interested in understanding how you passed inside the handlebar with the tubes. thanks.

Yes that frame has flex stays. I don't have that exact frame but have had many with them and there can be some resistance in getting the suspension to cycle through its travel.  It should not be rough but should take some effort. I would not call it very hard but if you flip the frame upside down the rear triangle should not cycle through on its own. I would be suspicious if you could barely move the suspension. That does not seem normal to me.
