Hambar fake 3T's

My real 3T's:

Fake vs Real
In this case, the real ones have the white lines down - although there are real versions without the lines.
You will notice that the fake ones have a thicker steerer tube.

You will notice that the angle on the fork legs is different:

Real ones have a serial number on the steerer tube and also under the bridge:

Although the same font is used for 3T, the 3T on the fake ones is noticeably bigger.

Real ones steerer cut to 18cm:

Fakes ones full 230mm steerer so effectively the same weight:

And now the answer everyone would like to know....

*Is there any difference in riding quality between real ones and fake ones?
*

NO

fake ones look nicer too aha

Took a bit longer than expected but it's finally here! Working from home today so updates to follow...

Nice! looks good, I think our frames went to the paintshop together.
Will build mine up tomorrow. The paint is awesome makes me feel trendy.

Nice paint choice!

This has probably been one of the most productive Friday afternoons I've had in a while! Turned out surprising well I think considering it's a super-budget build to be left at the station...

both are awesome! even the fat cat loves it!

feelings are hurt

Gonna place an order this weekend if anyone wants in.

I don't quite remember but does anyone remember aprox weight on some 58ish seattube frames? If not i ll just go over the thread again

Find out the rake of the seat stay, get a straight fork at equivalent rake, powdercoat to match and you'd have a good novelty bike IMVHO of course.
Rear end just looks wrong IMVHO.

Sorry, I don't really follow - what do you mean the rake of the seat stay? I did want straight forks but the purpose of the build was to be cheap & these forks were the cheapest at the correct rake, I'm also not overly keen on trying to powder coat carbon - would it not just disintegrate?

Powdercoat involves heat AFAIK. So it's not something for carbon.

Just get an Alpina

but he's fucking perfectly fine with his bike...?! :D

in that case scrap that!
I thought he wanted a straight fork...

I'm fine with it thanks - if we went down the wants route it would be completely different and cost 4x as much. For the price & purpose I like it how it is.

Just get an Alpina

Someone knows what is the outside diameter of integrated head tube on mielec? 45 or 46?

Here's my Mielec!

Shiney.

Looks like the front end has melted that Ergostem is doing that no favours...

I really don't like them.

Without the ergostem that'd be a serious contender for nicest Mielec!
