I bought this frame earlier this year. I built it up myself and have now completed 2000 miles on it with no problems. The BB was accurate and square, same with caliper mounts which were faced direct from the factory. Headset bearings lands were also Bob on, so whole thing built without drama. Only one component needed a little work. The headset wedge has a gap for the cables, but no tightening gap, so I had to cut one. All good after that. I have it fitted with 32s for road use. Set up with these the handling is quick, a bit like a TCR, and tracking is wonderfully stable. Can't recommend this frame highly enough, but bear in mind they size up a little, so if you normally ride a medium, you will probably need a size small here. BTW, paint finish is second to none. I bought a white one.
Val, that is good news and what a relieve as I thought i would just give it a bash. Then again i heard good stories about these frames. I am also done with the build, had help with the hydraulic brakes ect. I will make a video of it soon. I have 44mm tyres on for gravel, just rode it on the road so all seems well. This might be the future I guess. Also love the paint job and attention to detail if you look at the frame design. Great message. Thank you. PS: I bought a 52 and usually ride a 54. I actually measured my old bike frame and compared it to the measurements they gave. So happy about that. Will mention it in my video. Thank you.
@@thecyclingchiropractor the website states 47 but watching your video I was concerned that the frame would actually fit that size. You are running 44’s? Plenty of space left with those on? Thanks.
That looks awesome, can't wait to see the finished product!!!
You and me both mate. It's going to be super 😎

@@thecyclingchiropractordoes it seem like the 47mm max tyre size is accurate?
@@andrew9579 That is correct Andrew. 47mm max.

What a great color. Good luck with the build.👍
Thanx mate...👍
Any idea what the max chainring size is for 1 x?
No sorry Andrew, I have a 50/34......very good question though.
Very interested to see what wheels etc you had to this.
I also dont do hydraulic brakes. Everything else is fine!
@@PatParvum Hi Pat. A bit of a combo of old and new parts. The wheels are Mavic all road with 44m Ere Research tyres. That is adutch brand.
@@thecyclingchiropractor top. Thanks.
Btw. Love the classic YT thumbnail 😂
What is the standover height of bike with this frame?
Where would you like me to measure. Seat post side or headset side? Or center of top tube?
Center would be the safe bet
@@luktrn Will do it ASAP....not home at the moment.
77.5 cm...sorry I don't have it in inches!
@@thecyclingchiropractor Thank you, I’m all metric ;)
