This bike was really easy to assemble ru-vid.comUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.
Dream build indeed, even the paint, seat and bartape color...it,s very very nice..it must ride like a dream as well, l,m thinking. Wise choice in a frame builder too. Enjoy, beautiful job and thank you.
I had that SRAM Red eTap groupset and it turned out to be shit. The battery tabs would break off so I bought extra batteries, then the rear derailleur wouldn't shift and I had to warranty it. While I was waiting for the RD to come back I bought a full Dura-Ace 9170 group and learned what I was missing. Shimano shifting is superior. I'd never buy anything from SRAM again. Those Mavic wheels made me wonder if Mavic still makes them the same as the Carbone SLR they used to sell, if so that rear hub is garbage too because the freehub body designed with a bushing that fails in a short period of time and it will scare the shit out of you when it does because you won't know until you are flying down a hill. Campagnolo Shamal Mille Aluminum is a much better wheel.
I have this bike. All Dura Ace. Deep carbon Dura Ace wheels. It's a wonderful bike. My carbon bikes hang in the garage. Expensive Madone and others. Great looking classic style frame. Carbon frames aren't as pleasing to see or ride to me. Rode it 50 mi. Today
Nice video and assembly. It's always a pleasure to put the hands on bike frames with external cable routing. I enjoyed filming my young son putting together my Road Logic Disc. Amazing experience. How does it ride?
I have this bike in Dura Ace , wheels too. It's a pleasure to ride . Did 50 today..I pick it over my carbon bikes. Ride is better and nicer to look at.
