I really don't know exactly why I decided to start this project. Truth is I don't actually need this frame as it makes my 5th road bike in a raw.

During the long wait of this journey from China to its new home, I had second and third thoughts of selling it the next day it was supposed to be delivered. But now its built up and I am really happy on how it looks and more importantly on how it rides: smooth and fast!

And finally, after all, I do own an original, authentic Chinese bike ;o) So here the build list and some shots!

What did the wheels weigh once they were built? I'd love that setup for my CAAD, and I'm sure it would be much lighter than what I've got on there now.

Came down to just 1113gr.

excellent!

Thanks guys. I did my second ride today, 63km, 1200m gain. I feel a significant difference in vertical compliance compared to my Orca but no loss of power transfer. I dont know if this feasible but at least the bike in-total provide a pleasant feeling.

Here are some more shots:

nice build! im building up my fm066sl now ! Although I'm pretty sure your rear hub didn't weigh 106 grams, unless its some one off prototype. The seatpost that came with it I couldnt use ( i need no setback) so it'll go on cl .

You are right, the correct weight is 206gr, at least someone went through the text! Dont forget to post your build
