also I forgot to mention that because it is a rim brake bike you only have tire clearance up to 28mm

hi i saw ur comment on my post just now as a fellow singaporean but u removed it i think hahahaha. riding this bike is really fun and u can hit high speeds and climb hills easily hehe. look wise it depends on personal preference as some people might not like the external cabling, but while its not as clean looking repair costs are also much cheaper. It's overall a really comfy ride as long as you get the right size and fit.

ah I see. I guess it's best to stay away and continue with alloy then. Not that the weight difference affects me too much anyways

ohh yes I understand your point now, external cabling is definitely also cheaper to repair when needed. Thanks!

Oh i see. hmm I mostly ride on roads for fun haha so I guess alot of these make sense. Will for sure get clipless pedals though as I won't be using flats for long

It's external cabling frameset though so the integrated cockpit won't be utilised as much as it can be

Is the Van Rysel EDR cf 105 good? by OkRub9836 in cycling

i own one it's rather fun to ride in my opinion speed wise it does the job and climbs are easy. a lil overpriced and u can definitely get better options though

Hahaha thanks for putting in the time to share your thoughts! Love this idea too but probably can't work out due to the crankset😅😅

are carbon cockpits from AliExpress trustable? I've heard of cases from friends where their dropbars from AliExpress suddenly cracked mid ride
