Is it standard size on the steerer tube?
If so i don't see any downsides...

Is it standard size on the steerer tube?
Using 1" 1/2 - 1" 1/2 headset and route cables through headset (all four cables in fact), so it's compatible with Vision ACR, Deda DCR and some other one-piece bars.wheelsONfire wrote: ↑Sun Aug 14, 2022 12:37 pm^
yeah that is true, but how's any other modern frameset (bike) are different?
This i don't get!man1ac wrote: ↑Sun Aug 14, 2022 6:02 pmSo I got one of the Leichtbau frames even though I didnt try hard
But probably will give it to a friend. As mentioned before the SSE is due for an Update (rumors say it won't be just colors and significant) and don't wanna spent 5k for a frame that's old in 5-9 months ...
Not a big fan of integrated. It's easy to change fit with a stem and handlebar, you can also angle the bar to your liking or find a bar that suits you better. I have a very physical work and for sure i can say, it affects my back and fit to a degree. I haven't fully grasped how much until i became obsessive with fit on my bike.TLN wrote: ↑Sun Aug 14, 2022 9:30 pmUsing 1" 1/2 - 1" 1/2 headset and route cables through headset (all four cables in fact), so it's compatible with Vision ACR, Deda DCR and some other one-piece bars.wheelsONfire wrote: ↑Sun Aug 14, 2022 12:37 pm^

I'm sure, we'll see more handlebars if that standart becomes more popular
This is pretty typical logic. Most of us already have bikes that we're mostly happy with. Why spend top dollar on a frame that's going to be obsolete very soon? If you get the next updated design right at the beginning of its design cycle, it'll be "relevant" for yearswheelsONfire wrote: ↑Mon Aug 15, 2022 12:08 pmThis i don't get!man1ac wrote: ↑Sun Aug 14, 2022 6:02 pmSo I got one of the Leichtbau frames even though I didnt try hard

If you get a frameset or complete bike you actually like, you say you don't want it because their may be something new around the corner!?
It will happen all the time with everything. I would be very happy if i had the leichtbau and what may turn up later i wouldn't care about.
Possibly if there were things i wasn't pleased with to begin with.
There is a lot to be said for not getting the latest design. Canyon have had recalls because of handle bars and seatposts, Cannondale have changed the frame to stop damage when the steerer is turned too far, Specialized have changed the headset plug on the Sl7. And these are just of the top of my head. There is a saying never buy the mark 1 version of anything.justkeepedaling wrote: ↑Tue Aug 16, 2022 2:44 amThis is pretty typical logic.

I don't see it as obsolte at all. I doubt the forthcoming, not even existing, is better, just different.justkeepedaling wrote: ↑Tue Aug 16, 2022 2:44 amThis is pretty typical logic.

Is it possible that even WeightWeenies(TM) are tired of being price gouged for minimal improvements?tarmackev wrote: ↑Thu Aug 11, 2022 6:43 pmThis thread shows how much times have changed.
A super light limited edition frame is released and the thread gets no love at all!
Looking at the other threads that are above it shows a HUGE change in cycling, perhaps the demographic of this site as well.

Nah, I think it's because this SKU isn't expensive enough. If they'd priced it at £6.5k instead of £4250 (only pricing I've seen is UK) people would have been prepared to commit violence to get one. 4250 is just too 'budget'. Plus the finish / paint job looks shit.rothwem wrote: ↑Tue Aug 16, 2022 2:05 pmIs it possible that even WeightWeenies(TM) are tired of being price gouged for minimal improvements?tarmackev wrote: ↑Thu Aug 11, 2022 6:43 pmThis thread shows how much times have changed.

Ahh. Not Veblen enough. Maybe make it a round $/£10,000 for the frame?RDY wrote: ↑Tue Aug 16, 2022 2:12 pmNah, I think it's because this SKU isn't expensive enough.

I own the Cannondale supersix HM version and the frame without fork is anbout 760g without the Fork, I assume fork is 360g = 1120g vs 750g of Limited leichtbau frameset? The saving is 370g!!! I've also the S works Aethos at 560g frame + 350g fork = 910g!!!! So Cannondale leichtbau is lighter than S-Works Aethos? If this even possible?
