Great WW bike :thumbup:

A couple of notes/questions:
1) is that RD cage/pulley combo available anywhere also for Shimano Di2 RDs? :twisted:
2) are the brakes the Lekki8 clones? I'd be scared to ride them, given the discussions around here viewtopic.php?f=3&t=152269&p=1742810

P.S. Probably belongs to Introduce Yourself subforum.
Minimum bike categories required in the stable:
Aero bike | GC bike | GC rim bike | Climbing bike | Climbing rim bike | Classics bike | Gravel bike | TT bike | Indoors bike

re.
1. sorry I cannot fully understand 'RD cage/pulley' but if you are talking about frame, this frame is Mechanical only. Oh, if you're talking about the core hanger, it cannot contain wire to adapt di2

2. yes It's LEKKi 8.Copy. only for 800rmb(100eu maybe).However, the manufacturer said that they has Used the some Aluminum material to replace some components to make it safe enough. But the bearing was replaced to a plastic one to make it light enough. As for me, I thought the brakes, it's kind of soft. You can feel the transformation of the brake while you brake powerfully. And it's quite hard for me to
adjust to keep it in the middle. However, two thousand kilometers using Proved it to be Durable than I think. But if there is any dirt in it it will make horrible noise. I'd prefer THM instead. (if I have enough money hhhhha)

Probably it's need you to install an application named xianyu or in Chinese 闲鱼.
Price is about 399yuan. I don't know whether he wants to sell abroad or not. However, the Di2 picture are posting below.

Much regretful, ins is unusable in my country,people use weibo(微博)and other traditional apps instead. :(
(although we actually can use it personally, but with no friend use it altogether, few of us would use it)

while…strava is available haha. My strava user name is 史浩畋 or maybe in English system 浩畋史.

If web translate is available, here's my passages for my university's bike club (in Chinese), it is a Chinese based web that just like quora. https://www.zhihu.com/column/c_1183382545620803584
