qwerziou: I got told end of May a month ago but got my frame within two weeks 
Can really recommend it. Used my LS for over 1000k now in less than a month

I don't see another frame that would suit me as well, it's just a matter of $$$. Cash going in some other directions as well - home repairs, musical instruments... Maybe one or two more paychecks in and I'll be ready to go.

Posted a couple pics here of my build: Factor LS custom painted by them (metallic blue, silver, red) at Prisma Studio (this added 80g of weight); Enve m525G wheels; Rotor Aldhu 46/30 wide; SRAM 10-42 (it works just fine) cassette; GRX 2x Di2; Time XC12 titanium pedals; Black inc 44/90 bar (went shorter stem and wider); Blackinc seatpost for now but might pop a Darimo on there. Steerer tube a little longer than normal to allow for varying the stack from mostly road to singletrack. She's a missle so far. Just need a little bar tape (ran out)!

Thank you! I was quite nervous picking the colors out but they do bring a patriotic smile to my face for both my home nations (UK and US)

Looks great! Red Bull like. Did it take that long for you to get the Prisma Studio paint? And I thought they weren’t doing custom for LS.sigma wrote:Posted a couple pics here of my build: Factor LS custom painted by them (metallic blue, silver, red) at Prisma Studio (this added 80g of weight); Enve m525G wheels; Rotor Aldhu 46/30 wide; SRAM 10-42 (it works just fine) cassette; GRX 2x Di2; Time XC12 titanium pedals; Black inc 44/90 bar (went shorter stem and wider); Blackinc seatpost for now but might pop a Darimo on there.

It does look so much different than a stock painted frame and very unique.

Very nice indeed. I thought it was French though; Liberté, égalité, fraternité !

It added about 4-5 weeks for the Prisma studio. They offered it when the LS first came out with a small upcharge (few hundred dollars) and it's stellar work tbh.kode54 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 30, 2021 11:31 amLooks great! Red Bull like.

How is the shifting with the Garbaruk Cage with such a large cassette?
Do LS framesets come with anything to keep hoses/cables rattling around inside the frame? What is the rear derailleur cable routing like through the BB area for those w mechanical systems? Would a BBinfinite BB play well with this frame and/or interfere w cable routing?

Mine came with nothing to prevent rattling. I have no rattles.gwerziou wrote: ↑Sat May 15, 2021 10:10 pmDo LS framesets come with anything to keep hoses/cables rattling around inside the frame?

Plastic cable stop for dérailleur cables on down tube is junk compared to metal bolt-in one on my wilier zero7. It snaps in. Maybe I didn’t size my housing length properly.
No interference with BB. I’m running BBinfinite.
Cables route underneath bb shell with separate bolt-in guide.
