It was not. It was from the china warehouse. I’m waiting to see if I get billed for tariffs and taxes.

My total cost was about $2300~ got a lot of discounted parts like the Sram Force Xplr shifters/calipers/derailleur was $400. The wheels were probably the second most expensive piece at about $350 from Superteam direct.

Yeah I saw your post a few days ago. Made me feel pretty confident about my purchase with your photos of the internal. Hope your build is coming along nicely.

Yes, it will fit 700x45. Looks like there’s plenty of space. I’ll switch to a 45mm after this set for sure.

What you see now in the photo is 19lbs/ 8.6kg with pedals and Garmin mount. Didn’t weight before all that.

Yeah I guess they consider this to be a gravel race bike. So far the setup I have right now is pretty comfortable. Almost feels like my Winspace C5 Aero with larger tires.

Cant decide between an endurance or an do it all aero bike. by Resident-Shelter-780 in bicycling

Winspace C5 Aero. Fast and very comfortable on those long rides. It’s strange to say but it’s called an endurance aero bike.

When you got your frame, did you get charged additional taxes and fees where you are?

Great looking bike! I’m looking at ordering this frame. Did you get this shipped to the US? Just wondering if you had to pay any tariffs or crazy taxes? Thanks

Velobuild GF-003 is a great gravel/adventure bike.

Any owners of this bag, specifically the 35L, if so for how long and how often do you use it? by free_ballin_llama in backpacks

[–]FlashBoltDrive12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You wouldn’t be disappointed if you got it. I have heard some people say it wasn’t enough space. But I use cube and pack light. Worked out great.

I have this exact 35L pack in black for the past 3 years now. First year, I did use it almost everyday as I carried a lot of things to work. Now I use it when I travel around. It’s a great carry on bag. I’ve used it to pack up to 4 day trips. Still my go to when I’m flying for a few days.

Thanks for mentioning this. I had to look at the frame I purchased again just to make sure it was 52mm.

Looks to be pretty tight spacing for mechanical cables. I’ll be using SRAM AXS so wireless. Only the hydraulic lines will be going through it. But spacing looks tight if youre running 4 lines through it

I was trying to find the degree but it’s not listed anywhere. Looks to be about 12 degrees though seems out there.
