Hi everybody, i'm French and new over here. After seeing a lot of beautiful bikes here, i'm presenting mine.
This is my bike, bought from Deng-Fu ( Taiwan ). Model is FM-028, size 50, with personnal painting.

Shifters : Sram Red 2011
Saddle : unknown without foam and covered with vinyle ( around 170 gr )
Seatpost : Chinese
Brakes : CNC alu brakes ( same as Titans etc... )
Bottom Bracket : Hope Steel
Crank : Most compact ( same as FSA pro team issue )
Chainring : Most on the pictures, now Stronglight CT² Bio-Concept 50/34
Pedals : Speedplay Cr-Mo
Front Derailleur : Sram Force

I am pleased you have adjusted the angle of your saddle. Horizontal is a good starting point, but a very slight angle either + or - suit some riders better.

I also have a 50cm FM028, but with the ISP. They are actually made by a company on the Chinese mainland called Greatkeen - Deng-Fu is, I believe, a re-seller.

I like your build, but how does the Campag cassette work with a SRAM rear mech? I guess you know that the spacing of Campag is different from Far East Shim-RAM?

I knew Campy and Sram/Shim had not the same spacing, but I tried first and there is no real problem. That's not perfect, but it's ok.

I've heard about Greatkeen, but I do not really know who's the producer and who's the seller...

I'll try some other angle for the saddle to find the one which fits me perfectly

Your custom paint really makes it look very much like a Trek Madone.

Nice job. Looks good: give us a review after a few rides!

I like it - especially the interesting paint job.

May I ask why the interesting combination of components - SRAM/Campagnolo/Most?

Tell us more on how it rides and how the components work together!

Nice ride. How much extra was the paint job? Is it your own design or a stock option?

Hi everyone

The paintjob is a personnal design, inspired by Scott ( CR1 and R1 ). It cost to me 75 USD.

My first aim was to have a bike enough light for my humble level.
The first build was with Campa Record 2008 and Centaur. That's why I've got a Record 11-25 casette. For the crank, it's all about the price.

Then, I turned to Sram Red/Force. I will send this summer my rear wheel to someone who will check the pressure in the rays and change the body to a Sram one.


My sensations :
After riding this bike with Mavic Ksyrium Elite ( Conti GP 4000S and Michelin Latex inner-tube ), my feelings were good, confortable, reactive... Then I had the carbon wheels, and I've learnt what reactive really meant The bike became less confortable, but every time I pushed on the pedals, I had the feeling that it was for advance, and not to make the wheels turn ...
To conclude, this bike has no bad sides to me. It have the behavior that I wanted it to have

The saddle orientation is now better

Nice build!

I like the color and the finish. How are the wheels holding up?

Nothing special about the wheels, everything is still ok after ~1500 km. ( My weight : 61 kg )

Bienvenue!

Nice ride.
