So the WiFi omnium is quoted at an extra £200 over the QR version which is a bit hard to swallow for me. On the one hand, TA and tyre clearance is “better” but on the other hand, it doesn’t really cost very much if anything extra from a frame building perspective to spec TA dropouts over QR unless they’re Paragon vs simple cast dropouts or something.
Anyway, I’m back to thinking I might just build my own.
Omnium aren’t shipping direct to the UK, only to dealers I think. Would a dealer likely be willing to order me some parts from Omnium when not purchasing a bike or frame?
I’m thinking the fork and rack may be easier to use from omnium rather than make my own. (The rack being aluminium if I’m not mistaken, and therefore lighter than steel I’d be able to make)
