Hey good to know. Would love to see your recent works- im a fan.

I wonder if Orlowski is still building? Not much update on his instagram and fb page.

I would suggest to hold up until one of those shops release their Ti bikes with sram apex axs. Should be within your budget i think.

Spexcel- no issues at all. A mate have one and I’ve seen it and found it punches above it price class.

Just wondering if my search skills have yielded the maximum results, or not.

Any go to cargo bibs anyone here can recommend?

Ive been using Switofo bib and i rate it for the price i paid.

Swiftofo’s cargo bib is only pockets at rear but no pockets on side. Looking for recommendations other than spexcel.

Thanks!

I was thinking a 44mm downtube would look better but im worried the ride would be too stiff.

Thanks!

OG evkin stem- for road riding it does the job well. For gravel- not so much; i notice the bar is slightly rotated down when i go over big holes/rocks. Anyway i would still use it on gravel as the rotated down was an isolated occurrence.

Stem bolts- i didnt even bother to change the bolt so its the rainbow bolts on there.

Gravel frame from Titan Cycles out of Xian, China

250 quids for JT GTF? Wow got mine around 160 quids but that was a year a go tho.

Yes not working in the wet is disappointing. Not sure if i didnt set it up correctly or lousy cable setting but it has happened twice on 100km wet rides.

Im going full hydro soon as i managed to score sram force hydro mech 2x to replace my sram force x JT GTF.

I dont think its a faulty ones. It’s an OK brake for what it is. I just think it would require more regular maintenance, use good compressionless cables than full hydro.

If you know how to work on your bike, i guess this shouldn’t be a problem.

Ive been using JuinTech GTF for a year. Works well in dry condition. Once condition gets wet, for some reason the cable pull is easily messed up almost to having no bite at all.

How do you like them so far? Strong enough for gravel bike?

Yea theres quite a few in aliexpress but would like a real world reviews if anyone on this board have tried em.

Anyone knows if theres a reputable chinese stem similar to enve/zipp carbon stem? By reputable i mean I wouldn’t explode mid ride. This will be rattle can-painted and use for gravel ride so must stand some level of fatigue.

The rounded edges at the fork clamp area is what im looking for.

Hey what happen to this frame/project? Would love to see a built ones

@blacklisted Do you know the diameter of your downtube? Is it 35mm or 38mm? If you're not sure, would you be so kind to measure it? It looks pretty proportionate with the OS 44mm HT.

Nice frame. What tubing are those? Hows the waiting period like for Jacek's works?

These bikes are all hideous and you lot consider these are porn? I feel sorry for you guys. I really do. Just stay in your cave and dont ever go out. And go fuck yourself. Yes all of you.

Yup Max is a little bit overkill for you IMHO. And the reason Max is still popular is mainly due to nostalgia - images of racing in ParisRoubaix come to mind. I think steel have developed far beyond Max technology.

I'm also quite curious that if you see American framebuilders, they mostly will recommend you a mixture of Zona and Life, very rarely Spirit or multishaped HSS and I don't know why.

hey amey! plz keep posting in this thread! fuck all these assholes, they have no taste and substance at all. especially saarf. and dan.

basically almost everyone on this board!

@amey the one with SRAM Red and Easton wheels: what frame is that?

Edit: Van Dessel ok got it. The logo on the headtube looks like a T.

doesn't really matter if you have 10million posts and it's all shit.

fucken asshole.

Glad to hear Jacek is doing the correction effort for you without any charge. But did he say how is he going to repair this?

A lugged BB should strengthen this considerably for its purpose - taking a beating!

wow so much hate towards me. you guys really hurt my feelings mann....

LOL.

The stem really takes the cake!

ahh now you wanna criticize my spelling? oh my god, you bore me.
