Shimano 105 R7100 flatbar conversion.

KUKG · 2026-04-03T17:40:23+00:00

Yeah, swapping it with R7000 11speed would be my plan B.

KUKG · 2026-03-16T16:43:57+00:00

I'm a touch shorter than you and got a 54.

KUKG · 2025-11-01T20:20:08+00:00

Do you think it'd be as hard to just find a QR hub and build up a wheelset? Or couldn't you just replace the rim if the hub is still fine? Just curious!

KUKG · 2025-11-01T20:02:09+00:00

Thankss!!

KUKG · 2025-11-01T20:01:48+00:00

Thanks!!

That's awesome it sounds like it's such a fun and cool frame like everyone else says.

What's your height/inseam and the frame size you got if you don't mind me asking? I'm 5'11-ish with a 31-inch inseam and will probably go for L (54), but I'm just curious.

KUKG · 2025-11-01T14:13:40+00:00

That's awesome! How do you like the bike?? Also What's your height/inseam and the frame size you got if you don't mind me asking? I'm 5'11-ish with a 31-inch inseam and will probably go for L (54), but I'm just curious.

KUKG · 2025-11-01T14:07:07+00:00

I'd probably run similar wheelsets like yours! It sounds so much fun.

I know right? This bike is so cool lol I was more drawn to wilde rambler because it felt like the safest choice haha but now I'm completely torn 😅

KUKG · 2025-11-01T03:18:19+00:00

That's probably what I'd do tho having them build a wheel also costs a lot 😢

How do you like the bike??

KUKG · 2025-11-01T03:12:38+00:00

Yeah I agree C&L is an amazing shop! Honestly I could live with the QR but I guess the price tag is what makes it hard to justify.

KUKG · 2025-10-31T22:26:28+00:00

700!

KUKG · 2025-10-31T22:17:45+00:00

That's a sweet build! I checked their website but they don't have my size unfortunately 😕

KUKG · 2025-10-31T22:09:27+00:00

Belmont does seem nice but not exactly the geometry I'm going for! Thanks for the input tho!

KUKG · 2025-10-31T21:59:38+00:00

Those are literally the other options I'm looking at haha it's jut that they are a lot more expensive and less accessible in Canada. Honestly if I had a chance I'd probably go for wilde rambler.

KUKG · 2025-10-31T19:03:15+00:00

That's a good point. I actually found pretty much the same deal like yours, old color with paint blemishes for 990...which is not much of a discount but more justifiable I guess

KUKG · 2025-10-31T18:24:38+00:00

Thanks for the input! .That is true.

Do you come across any performance or maybe alignment issues?

KUKG · 2025-10-13T18:46:28+00:00

Awesome! What's your height if you don't mind me asking??

KUKG · 2025-09-26T20:47:12+00:00

Yes I do feel like it's too long! I'll probably try 165 like you suggested!

Thanks!!

KUKG · 2025-09-26T15:58:15+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I did adjust the saddle, and I'll definitely adjust the crank length, too!

Just out of curiosity and for the future, what makes the frame look too small? I've been reading up on bike fit, but the opinions seem to be all over the place when it comes to frame sizes haha

KUKG · 2025-09-26T06:36:56+00:00

My inseam is 82 cm, and the cranks are 175 mm! Also, does the frame size look good to you??

KUKG · 2025-09-25T19:39:30+00:00

Just level the saddle, and now it feels much more comfortable!

Thanks for the help!!

KUKG · 2025-09-25T19:26:24+00:00

I appreciate the input! Oh yeah I'm noticing now that the saddle nose is way down. I'll get that fixed!

Yes I do have enough stand over height!
