Hi Hendie, thanks for pics and build details

I'm goind to pull the trigger for this frameset.
The only thing makes me hesitating is tire clearance.
My go-to wheelset at this moment is reserve 52/63 which has 35mm front, 34mm rear.
32c tires on them, expect almost identical to external rim width.

Can you give me a favor to measure how tight space between seatstays and chainstays in you 28c tires?

I just ordered a SC-R55D frame. It should arrive in January.

What size did you get? They have zero stock? If you order something that hasn't been built, you run the risk of being taken for a ride for weeks if not months, although speeder is a trustworthy seller, unlike airwolf or window, for eg.

I ordered a 560. I ordered it knowing it will take weeks or months before getting it. It's winter around here and I can ride my other bikes in the meantime.

Got my frame size 51

Took about a month for it to be shipped and 20 days for shipping, eu tax prepaid

On first look everything seems good, mounts are faced, no rough bearing seats, bb is faced and inside seems smooth
Only the headtube to downtube juction has something yellow? on the inside of the frame not sure what that is, everything else is smooth.

Was expecting the frame to be a bit lighter but its not too bad.

Weights:
Frame with rear and front derailleur hanger and bottlecage bolts: 930g
Fork uncut: 397g
Seatpost(0mm offset) with saddle clamp: 178g

Thru axles: 73g
UDH: 28g

Will post after i build the bike, still waiting for farsports hypers to be shipped.

A bit of an oversight on my part, deda super box stem only allows 2 brake cables and 1 di2 cable, i had in mind to run 2 cables to the junction in downtube and then to battery, will probably file the stem a bit to make space for 2 di2 cables, should be fine i guess?

Finish quality looks amazing. At this price point, it's truly worth noting. We should show that to the people who keep buying airwolf frames

Wow, that does look good, and given the rep Speeder has built, mainly from their forks, it sure looks like it holds up. Honestly, the exterior also looks really clean too. Really curious to hear how cleanly it builds up.

Got mine as well. Size 56 (which is more like XL)
The finish looks excellent. One small issue is a bit of clear coat overspray in the lower bearing seat.
Weights:
frame 56cm  910g (with both derailleur hangers and 5 bottle cage bolts)
fork 401g (uncut)
cockpit 402g (115x410, with guides and computer mount bolts)
seatpost 173g (400mm 15mm offset)

Does the clearcoat without painting is sufficient to protect the frame against the UV rays ?

[kanuto]

Speeder 55 is close to which big brand bikes?
I still cannot decide whether this or ican fl1

[Bowen1911]

Dammit.  Those pictures look to nice.  I guess I'll get one ordered

Apparently UV resistance isn't a problem. I asked the question a while back, the answer was that the pre preg resin they use these days is already uv resistant, so the matrix that creates the frame is impervious to UV, so what you put on top doesn't matter. This came from a boutique shop that sells raw carbon fiber parts. So even raw carbon is fine they say.

Order submitted to Justin. Should be a fun build this winter!

Anyone here can measure tire clearance of the frame and fork?
I'm about to pulling the trigger but not sure if I can put 34-35mm actual width tires front and back.

I have schwalbe pro one 30mm on 26mm internal rims. They measure 33mm. Fork is super wide can probably take 40mm, same as seatstays. Chainstays are the narrowest point but there's still a bit of room. I think 35 should fit.
