I would change stem, seatpost, pedals and the crankset (Clavicula SE) - but hey, this is a question of personal preferences and aesthetics... :noidea:


THM Scapula CT 3k, black decals

Well and all went to s*#t...

Acording to R2bike there where a problem with one of the rims or both i don't know, and i cancel the deal. To me and R2bike they are still in prototype stage.

Don't know what i'm going to buy, but i'm inclined to the MAVIC Cosmic ultimate 2017

Thats a clean and nice looking bike. I like the colour of that frame with the black parts.
Just do not like the big chainring, i think a thinner one would be better.

Gorgeous bike! I'd second what Fuchspk said about the chainring though.

So nice. It has a great prototype kinda vibe. The chainring only adds to that vibe as well.

I am on a wait list for a very nice custom steel slated for my wife (not Victoire) and can't decide if the stainless upgrade is worth it or not. It would be great to have a ride report from you once you have some decent kms on that bike.

Really exceptionally executed. Congrats.

I've about 1500km on the bike now...

And I can say it rides equal to my Moots Vamoots RSL.

It's about 900g heavier... but it's stiffer on the front triangle... mostly because of the 44mm headtube.

About the normal steel vs stainless...

Stainless is stiffer... rust free... and lighter...

Hello
I've found a lot of informations bout your frame on victoire website
but can you tell us what diameter and thickness tubing did you choose for the TT ?
The seat tube is the 33 mm from what I can read
The downtube is 38 mm I guess
But I can't tell for the top tube it looks smaller than the seat tube or the shape is different I don't know ... 31,8 or 35 mm ?

thanks
