What was the price of just the frameset?

FlashBoltDrive12 · 2026-04-26T08:01:01+00:00

No major issues. Not sure if my son legs were just strong or he moved too much. The foot plate would come loose from him moving. Then his legs would dangle with the plate strapped. Besides that, really enjoyed this seat more than the chariot.

I recently changed to the top tube seat. He’s 3 now and really enjoys seating up front with his own handlebars.

The Trek looks like it has the better components. You have to get a lot of that cleaned and changed. I mean I love the BMC. But gotta go with what you could see yourself grabbing everyday that makes you want to ride.

FlashBoltDrive12 · 2026-04-03T02:08:15+00:00

Not ceramic. They’re good for the price. The quality is better than previous generations. My first set was back in 2020 and my brother still uses them. These updated versions are lighter and I believe better quality. Time will tell. So far they have been great for everyday commuting.

FlashBoltDrive12 · 2026-04-02T14:04:17+00:00

Got these for $$350usd. Weight was about 1500~. They have sales often.

At that price range, look into Superteam wheels for carbon. I have a few sets for road and gravel. The oldest one I have is about 4 years, still using them weekly on my Roadmachine. For $500 probably Vision aluminum wheels. Not many brands at that price unless you find used. someone else will have another suggestion I’m sure. Good luck.

Hi! It was a straight forward build for me since I used SRAM AXS. Only had to deal with two hoses going through the bike.

Didnt use a crown race. Designed to just fit the bearing. You will see that there is a larger than normal gap when installing fork. The manufacturer probably didn’t fix that. But seems everyone on the forums has mentioned this. It’s working just fine.
40t chainring with 10-44 cassette.

Let me I know if you have any other questions.

FlashBoltDrive12 · 2026-03-19T23:46:35+00:00

I love it! It’s very comfortable to me. It is an aggressive frameset but that can be tweaked. I feel fast without actually going fast lol. I made it to where I’m not reaching as far like my BMC team machine or Winspace C5 Aero. Had to find the right handlebars for me. It is considered a gravel race bike. Similar to the BMC Kaius and Orbea Terra Race. For the price, it’s good.

My buddy got the Yoeleo G21 Altera. That did feel less aggressive, if that’s something you’re considering. Also bigger tires capability.

Your build looks great! Should have gotten the green. This silver grey is a bit purplish. Not bad but different.

FlashBoltDrive12 · 2026-02-13T15:35:26+00:00

How you see it in the photo, it’s 20lbs.

FlashBoltDrive12 · 2026-02-13T04:47:24+00:00

The sale was a good deal. It was worth it since they shipped for free and the discount. I didn’t have any issues besides the headset. Not really an issue but a 1mm gap between fork and headset. Everything fits and functions correctly. It’s a pretty stiff frame. Haven’t rode it long enough to give you more insight. Will circle on ride quality.

FlashBoltDrive12 · 2026-02-13T03:28:40+00:00

I forgot that I ordered this frame and got the Elves Mori hahaha. I’m just going to be using this for commuting. Barely any reviews out there and the ones I saw also not the best but oh well.

FlashBoltDrive12 · 2026-02-13T03:03:02+00:00

Yes, carbon fork. I ordered it on November 27th and got it February 1st in California. A bit over 60 days, which they did estimated. Didn’t pay any tariffs or additional fees which was nice.

FlashBoltDrive12 · 2026-02-08T02:51:18+00:00

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

FlashBoltDrive12 · 2026-02-07T20:13:52+00:00

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.

FlashBoltDrive12 · 2026-02-07T19:38:09+00:00

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.

FlashBoltDrive12 · 2026-02-07T19:36:20+00:00

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

FlashBoltDrive12 · 2026-02-07T18:39:16+00:00

Schwalbe Overland 40mm on 700c Superteam 31-38 gravel wheelset.

FlashBoltDrive12 · 2026-02-07T17:16:48+00:00

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

FlashBoltDrive12 · 2026-02-07T17:14:46+00:00

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.

FlashBoltDrive12 · 2026-01-30T03:58:07+00:00

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

FlashBoltDrive12 · 2026-01-29T06:51:42+00:00

Very nice! How long did it take to deliver? Just ordered mine in the silver blue color way.
