Chro Mo Posted June 24, 2016 Share V12 you have been very quiet... what was in the box good sir? In the interim, I was finally able to build this and bring it home... I am blown away by how good the frame, wheels and brakes are. The cable-hydro brakes work brilliantly (TRP HY-RD). I went with the AC Race MTB wheels for longevity. They are light and roll amazingly well. I had no issues sitting in a road group this morning. A massive thanks to Eddy and Chainworx. On the flipside of this new shiny coin, it is sad to see the Orange Cotic in a box in the cupboard. I will clean it up and post it for sale soon.I saw this bike in the flesh yesterday - Jono showed me... Awesome, beautiful, stunning - all these words spring to mind. Wow! Congrats!!!!

LOOK695 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Right, box has been opened and goods expected. Must say that I am very impressed with the frameset????. Headset and spare hangers were included as promised. Read so many reports of frames being shipped and the seller does not include all specified items and purchases???? Frameset is finished well. Quite like the carbon weave as well Frame weight with all screws and seatpost collar: 1224g and fork including caliper screws and cable guides: 540g. Frame was shipped on the 16th, so about 2 weeks with EMS post and our local post office. Just a few more items to get and considering a Bogus touch as well.......
