“I got it to upgrade my commute bike, and perhaps as bikepacking if I ever get to try it. It checked all boxes I wanted: excellent value; wide tires, bunch of mount points, and it looks awesone in that blue color. Weight as expected with the alloy frame: 20.5 lbs with pedals. Ride is very compliant with a carbon seatpost and 30mm tyres.
Some room for improvement: there no cable routing manual. Or assembly video on youtube. I built it with the mechanical groupset, and I would really preper not to guess which ferrule and seal designers were intended to use. Its not very straightforward.
Overall, very happy with the purchase.”
“For the price you cant beat this frame. Expecially for one that comes with fork, headset, and seatpost clamp. I built the bike up with a Force groupset and a 42-9 11 speed mullet drivetrain. Also a note, I didnt want to have to ditch my favorite Schwalbe Thunder Burt tires in 29x2.1 (700x53 equivalent), they do fit with a little room to spare event though the stated max tire clearence is 50mm. Assembly went great, the downtube internally routed cables are easy to run and didnt require any special voodoo. Overall bike rides great, light snappy, but complient enought for the longer rides. And that color is just amazing”
