Just finished this build and what a pig of a build it was to do as well, very very fiddly

A comparative ride review between this and your C60 is welcomed.
Not excited by the looks btw... :/

What size is this bike? looks even smaller with the really short stem/bar combo. The bottle cage is an odd choice too.

All that matters is that you like it and you enjoy it.

I hat e to be negative.. your rear derailleur cable housing is wayyyy long for it to work correctly. Otherwise nice

yes i know it has now been cut to size,and a black cable has been fitted.

That's a 9100 rear derailleur, correct? How do you find rear wheel removal on that frame? Also, the cable to the rear derailleur, did you use the alternative cable that comes with the 9100 derailleur... it's completely different than the derailleur cable that comes in the set, designed to be super flexible due to the extremely short run that is required on a lot of frames. Makes pulling back the rear derailleur for rear wheel removal a lot easier as well.

I did not get a special cable with the rear derailleur ,removing the wheel not to bad but have to pull hard on the derailleur to remove.
I now am looking for the correct cable,thanks again calnago for your great in put

On my first install of the 9100 stuff I didn't even realize there was a special cable. I was all set to use the one that comes in the cable package. But the cable was actually in the box with the derailleur, maybe underneath the cardboard packing.
