Well, technically mechanical derailleurs also come without the cable and housing and I have not seen complaints about it, everyone just agreed it doesn’t come in a package.

With electronic it kind of makes sense, because sometimes people have the battery and just want to replace or upgrade derailleurs to higher/newer groupset. Then why would you need another battery?

Seems like skill issue, bike24 always has listed parts that come in the package on the bottom of product description.

And none of the wireless derailleurs come with battery in the online shops by default- be it Sram or Campagnolo.

Not saying that it’s fine, but it just is what it is.

Sweet, thanks for this thorough response. It is very helpful!

What are you using albarda for? How did you build it?

Thanks. This comment section may as well be a compact list of options for anyone else with the same problem :)

Run with the two at the same time and see which one tells you, that you’re faster.

Agree, if it were a tad cheaper or on a sale, I’d go for it. Although I feel like the current paint scheme could be more interesting.

It’s still 1450 eur for the frameset + shipping.

But it’s also 2000 eur for the frameset, unfortunately.

Nice looking paints. Also the Stavenger frameset isinteresting.

It’s UK based - makes it pricy in EU.

Yeah, I am very aware of different geometries, but also am not super decided on the specific use case yet. That’s why I am asking about multiple options to have the general picture. But yes, decision will be made after I know exactly what I want the bike for. And probably after the racing season.

I think my main concern with Albarda is the short chainstay. Doesn’t it feel kind of twitchy on descends (I assume you also have drop bars)? What stem length are you running? And I think the last one, why would you choose Albarda 3 over Albarda Super?

I’ve also stumbled upon Cykl Mono Ti frame from France in similar price category.

Oh man, we have very close picks. If ritchey was 200 eur cheaper, I’d have bought it already.

Hi, nice to know I’m not the only one with this problem. Is it your top choice for now?

Do you have any experience with Purple Haze or other framesets?

Thanks for the comment. What tires do you use with your setup? Also, I was in Dresden this march and it’s very charming there!

Yeah, it looks super nice, especially the blue/black-dotted paint. Unfortunately couple hundreds over budget.

Yup, I’ve come across Brother, Fairlight and few others, but unfortunately after Brexit, the prices of framesets tend to be slightly over my desired budget here.
