Couldnt really figure out if you are set on a frame yet:

Really road oriented though. But it fits long and low (553/393) category and is kind of cheap.

nice!

This. I found the geometry pretty lively and chainstay length was on point. PF adapter issue was a bummer though. Passed mine on as well.

Hi there,

planning on doing some fairly light touring from Würzburg Germany down the Via Claudia Augusta into Austria and Italy, ride up the Stelvio and then cross Switzerland. Planning on taking the train back to Germany from Interlaken or Basel. Duration will be around 10 days. I will try to camp mostly (if my setup works) and ride around 100-150km a day. The route up until the Stelvio is pretty straightforward. Following the old Roman trade route "Via Claudia" over the Fernpass and the Reschenpass and then take a right and go over the Stelvio into Switzerland. That is where it will get tricky (apart from getting up the Stelvio first, of course). Looking for some routes through Switzerland (from east to west).

I'd be glad to take some route suggestions or if anyone wants to tag a long for a while, let me know. Will be post some photos of the bike setup (and the trip eventually) as the planning is moving along. Will probably set off second week of august or so.

cheers

Pm'ed with price for fork + head set

Yup... maybe you have more luck with Shimano hollowtech 2, at least if my theory holds. Also still interested in that carbon fork?

Sorry to hear that...
basically the same issue I faced. Will pass mine on. Splashing some cash and getting a sequoia now...

Looks lush - which bb did you use now? Sram adapter and normal hollowtech or KCNC?
cheers

It shouldnt be of concern as the BSA adapter should work with any threaded bb made for that type really but I feel like it could be a SRAM gxp only problem. As the new gxp brackets have a kind of limiter inside the nds cup. Meaning that the cup limits the spindle from getting through completely to ensure that the crank does not rub against the drive side bb cup (I hope any one gets where I am going). As you screw the nds crankarm on to the spindle you apply force that may eventually lead the whole adapter/cups/spindle bricolage to shift in place. Through the limiter, the spindle pushes out the whole bb cup and adapter on the nds and the driveside crankarm all of a sudden sits closer to the driveside cup causing (in my case) chainring bolts to rub. Should not be of concern with shimano I recon as you only preload spindle on nds side with the little plastic screw thingy and then clamp the nds crankarm. Also, hollowtech 2 bb does not have some sort of stupid limiter built in..... dont know - PF30 sucks! This frame with 27,2mm seatpost inner and threaded bb would be a dream! cheers

Sorry, I forgot about the pic until I did a ride on friday. noticed some rubbing coming from the crank/bb area. chainring bolts were rubbing on the driveside chainstay because the limiter of the gxp bb could not hold the spindle back and in its place (hope that makes sense). It turned out the nds of the sram adapter was pushed out a little. pushed it back in (with tools) and everything is in its place again but cant tell if it stays there as I havent been able to test it afterwards. Just wanted to confirm your issue with loose cup!

Will do later today!

Using the same PF30 Sram adapter for my CNC frame. Put a standard threaded 68mm GXP bottom bracket in and fitted a sram rival crankset. Works fine. No spacers or washers needed!

187cm with longish legs. I was kind of inbetween sizes so went for the smaller frame. Stem on this photo is 120mm. Might change to a shorter one as handlebar reach + sram hydro shifters makes this quite long. Bike is kind of heavy when picking it up but it does feel fairly fast while riding. Will be touring the Alps on it this summer and may get some 650b wheels for some off road action if funds allow later this year.

Build it up! Looking forward to it.

This is the large frame built up - apologies for shite photo

Build up the same frame using these. I am running 1x10.

Psee, which direct mount chainring are you using?

also, if you dont mind centerlock

Just looked at that project. Paint looks awesome. Funny, as I ordered the same frame yesterday after discovering it a while ago on CNC. Too cheap not to try it out. Probably as some gravelly 700c or 650b randonneur. Considering Carbon fork and hydro sram 1x. Can you make any guesses on bb drop ?
Cheers

Probably going to ride it with a friend as well from the set date on. What kind of bike are you going to use?

Nice to hear. Thanks. I am considering one for a while now, weirded out a bit by their two geometry choices though. Faran is a more expensive CdF really?

Any thoughts on the Strael? What was the outcome of your visit?
Cheers

aw yis

pm'ed

Cheers,

Any thoughts on the mason definition framesets? I am really intrigued by the blue one.

Hallo Ed,

Would you deem the equilibrium capable of gravel road riding and touring/bikepacking?

Hi @mdcc_tester, two things - do you ship to Germany? If so, may I buy one of these nice headset covers for my Caad10?

Thanks
