Right well, the one that was supposed to be easy obviously went tits up. The previous owner of the frame must have ran it 1x di2, as the cable guides for my 2x mechanical set up don't work. The brake bolts from the old frameset don't fit the new frameset, and when I was putting the bottle cage on righty tighty turned into righty loosey. So need to get that sorted!
But! I really like it, it's got more clearance than the old frame which is great at 28s used to run. I think if I go to wider carbon rims I might struggle with 28s, and have to go down to 25s. The cheapo alloy wheels currently on it don't look as gash as I thought they might. So happy to run them till I've got the funds together for something better. And I think it's just going to be much more suited to the kind of riding I enjoy.
