steer away from ADR carbon
bought the frame and put the parts in - set of Campagnolo Record (carbon BB+cranks + titanium pedals).
cranks are clear of the chain stays but heel is not.
cannot pedal at all
asked them to get the frame back and refund the money and they said NO because I have cut the seat post.
told them in response that I wasnt able to test it otherwise and that the frame is not 'fit for purpose' as you cannot ride it at all - more or less told me to foff.
went to the best mechanic I know and he tried different BB's add a washer to the pedals and moved cleats - nothing no clearance and cannot pedal
I am left with £700 unusable frame and Trading standards + small claims court to deal with.
nice customer service.
someone suggested special pedals with longer spindle but this isnt right as you dont but 'special BB / spacial pedals' for one freaking frame when all the same good quality parts are fine on any other frame.
very disappointing
