For the selection of accessories for this bicycle, choose Chinese products as much as possible (including Taiwan)This should be my last rim brake bik.
This bike is what I will use for riding, so some accessories are used. I kept the practicality in the choice of accessories, because I want to ride Taiwan kom.
This bike will be displayed at the China Bicycle Show starting on May 5, 2021.

We produced 12s modifications and gears for the sram red22 rim brake kit ourselves.This is a bicycle full of various attempts

The merida scultura 9000 is a bicycle I have used for several years. Officially, 680g does not contain paint, which was lighter than trek emonda slr at the time (emonda slr's seatpost is heavier)

The crank and chain rings are skypivot from China
I think the power meter is very important for climb cycling, so I chose the sigeyi power meter.
If you do not use a power meter and use extralite chain rings, it will be lighter.
Crank length 170mm,chainrings 50-34T

The handlebar is an EXS RX-01 stealth version, 150 grams, against the standard schmolke tlo 110kg version.
EXS VAM wheels, using extralite hubs with carbon fiber spokes and T1000 carbon fiber, with a weight limit of 110kg.

The seatpost is matched with gelu k3 saddle. The seatpost alone weighs about 85 grams(270mm)

For some small accessories, we also try our best to develop independently

Very cool! When are you guys going to have more stuff for sale?

Also, will your handlebar be ok with a small surface area face plate on your stem?

Cheers, and good luck in your race!

Video is pleasant to watch, always nice to see attention to details during a build and some interesting hand tools :)
Got curious into few components, a listing would be interesting to see, what in the bar tape is this, what pedals will it be equipped with?

For the QR, from experience, those are not able to avoid rear wheel movement as soon as we step out of the saddle.

The outer cog seems really close to the frame.
Any issues?

So is that a fixed, revised SkyPivot?

What is the handlebar adjustment tool you use? I've never seen anything like it.

It's shown 3:44 into the video.

Nice work on that build and video! Please give us some insights about parts and availability (expander, top cap, bar tape, jockey wheels to name just a few).
