I have logged about 300 miles and 21K feet of climbing on my build and I am very happy with my decision to buy and build the Workswell. My Baixiang wheels are also great so far. I also just added a chinese spider style saddle

Why did you choose Baixiang wheels ??? are those the best among the Chinese brands?

Very VERY nice job rms13!

They seemed to have a good reputation amd they were $450 for 1400g 38mm 25mm wide wheels. Yoeleo and Farsports seem to have more reputation but cost a lot more and I'm cheap

Where to start? You didn't remove the factory BB, RD hanger, and seat post clamp and you think 1040g is heavy? It's not. My 831g Workswell was stripped to get to that weight.

Sure. It wasn't really a complaint, just an observation. At first I was quite shocked that those parts could add up to that much but I was warned about the BB.

Not too bothered at the moment. The BB can be swapped out later if I really get picky.

I just got my Workswell frame and I'm confused with BB? What I need to be able to use my campagnolo Chorus Ultra Torque? I got my frame BB not installed.

Hello...First time user on here. Just received my very first open mold carbon frame today and I'm a little disappointed.

It's a hong fu FM066 58cm, and as soon as I unboxed it, I noticed a scratch on the top tube. Around the scratch you can see that there is no UD Coverage over the weave.

What do ya'll think?
Will Hong Fu consider this a defect and send me a new frame?

I'm new to the forum and it's not letting me attach an image url.

If you send it back cos of this you'll looking at a whole load of complications, at the very least it's a waste of money effort and time... I'll say live with it...
