Enve Melee

[hansotto089]

Does the Melee have enough space on the NDS crank to accomodate a 4iiii Powermeter?

[reodl]

I have the latest 4iiii on my NDS 172.5 dura ace crank.

Just got an Aegean blue Melee and its it looks even better in person.

Size: 56
Groupset: Ultegra Di2 (170mm cranks, 52/36T, 11/34)
Saddle: Specialized power comp (probably 200-250g)
Handlebars: Enve 42cm SES AR (with Enve computer mount)
Stem: 110mm aero inroute
Seatpost: biggest one?

Weighed in at 7.3kg without cages or pedals

Has anyone discovered any other routed bar/stem combos (and/or 3d printed top cap adapters) to run non-enve bar/stems? Ended up with a sweet deal on a Fray but dying at the cost of the cockpit.. Just curious if any other decent routes out there?

The fray is non-proprietary. Don't know about the top cap adapters but you can even run cables outside the bar/stem.

Was that deal with a bikeshop/enve seller?

That exposes the top bearing and headtube to water/dirt ingress though, doesn't it? I've been hunting around for a low-stack 3D printed dust cover that would allow the usage of a Tarmac stem with In-Route headsets to avoid that and come up wanting. It's wild that Enve doesn't offer anything other than the -6º stem to the public -- none of their bikes have aggressive S:R

I think I saw photo of it somewhere. Couldn't find it now. But in my head it had two holes for the brake cables. It is provided by enve. It's a specific spacer to allow the cables to run outside.

One can even try to use some rubber around it to close even further ay gap.

But the outside cables has that negative aspect, for sure.

The Enve "bypass" spacer is included with the stem / stem-handlebar-combo

It is -7°

Oooh that's helpful, thank you!

Light Bicycle AR36 disc which are around ~1350g I think. Though I'm likely going to buy their new 50mm deep Turbo ones.

does anyone know of any rumors of changes to the Melee? It's coming to it's 3rd year, wondering if it's still worth buying or if Enve might have something coming out soon now that they also have the Fray and have world tour team.

Outside of the Custom, Enve's first round of bikes are SL7 on different geos (IMO - Nothing wrong with that). Geometry is a good selection, if you are in that range, probably not for the wannabe pro racers!

Wonder how they will progress and evolve from an aesthetic perspective cause there's great confidence that the color of that next bike will be monochromatic with some Enve logos (Joking, maybe).
