Could you give us a review on the wheels? How do you find they compare to more mainstream brands, say Campagnolo Boras or sometime similar? Are they stiff? I'm choosing between some AX/Cyberhubs myself at the moment.

Thanks!

I do not recommend choosing these only lightweight wheels if you want faster.
I recommend Bora or Mavic ultimate or MEILENSTEIN.

What's the full wheel build? Rims/hubs etc please?

So: how does it ride?

[tktgnkym]

I don't race.
I don't even have to run fast.
Stay healthy.

Assemble a lightweight roadbike.

Because that is my hobby.

Let my try to restate my question: do you like the way the bike rides?
Is there anything that would keep you from buying it again or recommending it to others?
For example:
"it is very sensitive to steering input"
"it rides like on rails and initiating a turn take some effort"
"you feel every tiny bump in the road surface"
"compared to my other bike XYZ it feels better/worse/different with respect to ..."
?


That is, I am playing with the idea of buying such a frame "just for fun" too,
but I would like to read some kind of "reviews" first
- no matter how subjective they are.

Thanks and enjoy the ride!

My road bike is a pursuit of lightness.
The narrow handle width makes it a very quick reaction.

The top speed is slow due to the fact that it is too light and the gear ratio.
However, the acceleration from zero is great.

Since the information on the road surface is also accurately transmitted, long rides are tiring.
Still, I'm riding the bike very easily.

Really nice build! Are you still happy with it? How many miles did you already take it for a ride?
Are there any other reviews or tests about the frame? The internet is really not full of articles about this rare frame.
Still thinking about using the frame for a climbing / racing bike (tt uphill only)

What are those pulleys from previous page? 7,4 grams per pair, that is super light.

Starbike has these in stock. I own two sets, both are ~8.2g, so a bit heavier than 7.4g.

[StanK]

Approx. 75 euro for pair (with postage) That will wait better days.
At least, I hope they work flawlessly.

I got a new lightweight item.
It's darimo's combo handlebar.

[claus]

If someone has the frame, could you please post how wide the top tube is in the middle (and maybe at both ends)?
Background: my knees are fairly close together while pedaling, so on many "modern" frames they actually hit the top tube.

Wow that thing is light. That cockpit is light than just my Tarmac stem. Is it flexy?

[nickf]

What a build. Looks great.
