Many thanks for your kind words everyone. I will take some proper photos should there be a point in time in the near future where my kids do not carry any viruses or whatnot home from daycare.
I am considering douple straps and nylon cages plus the nitto S92 seatpost but thats another €200 which I am not willing to spend right now.
Regarding the riding position and riding in general:
The saddle to bar drop looks insane on the photo but it feels very comfortable to me. No stretching at all.
As this frame only exists in 53, 56, 59 I went for the 53 size so I could use a 110mm stem. As said previously, there was only this particular frameset available so I did not have a choice anyway.
Eventually it turned out that it fits perfectly with the stem length.
Riding is a complete dream compared to the LOOK. With the LOOK toe overlap was suicidal and you could barely turn the bars 1-2 degrees before you got stuck in the cages. Here, I can do reasonable 90 degree turns without touching anything. I know that the front wheel/DT gap on this frame does not look toooooo sexed out but taking into account the flexibility it gives me while riding (brakeless), makes it an awesome ride so far.
Wheels are also super smooth; gearing could be a little bit more relaxed so if anyone is selling a 47/49 chainring, HMU
Oh and here’s a picture of the frame when I first saw it. Also much black but still a different level of detail lets say
