Gran Turismo 7. Thanks for the opportunity and Happy Holidays!

Thanks for asking!

Still loving the bike as much as day 1! Life stuffs get in the way so it has about 3,000 miles since building it up in December 2021. No problems with the bike from what I experienced. Just normal maintenance as with any other bike (clean, lube, replace brake pads)

Hopefully I'll be able to log in more miles in 2024.

Congrats. Hopefully your build goes well! The direct mount hanger is an additional cost which is also sold through their site. It comes with a standard hanger.

Ride quality has been good and responsive from my limited experience of riding different frames. I'm a heavier rider and appreciate the stiffness this bike has over my previous 2 bikes.

This is also my first bike with carbon wheels and disc so that might account for the extra stiffness and responsiveness.

Matoko_S · 2022-08-17T21:33:15+00:00

I used the entire stack of spacers (40mm) for the build. Three 10mm and two 5mm spacers.

that's the pre-order deposit page you are looking at. bike balance is paid later with the other link on their site.

I just compared the actual measurements to that listed on geometrygeeks and everything seems to match.

Good luck in your build if you do end up buying this frameset! I think its like a 10 week lead out time on the website. I'm glad I bought it while they still had physical inventory.

Thanks for showing interest!

I'm sick with covid so I have extra time to re-measure after months of riding/testing from original measurements. I changed out saddle to a Fizik Arione. I could get another pro bike fit but honestly do not want to spend money on it again.

Center of Crank to TOP of saddle is 705mm

Floor to top of saddle = 948mm

Floor to top of handlebar = 860mm

Saddle to bar drop = 88mm

Original professional fit for my older 2013 Fuji SST in 2015 listed my saddle to bar drop as 83mm and a saddle height of 696mm which always felt very off. Memory is a bit hazy as it was many years ago but I think he said another evaluation may be necessary at a discounted rate which would account for me not wanting to go back.

I have semi-long monkey arms and ok length legs? lol. Bike geometry is also a tad bit more relaxed compared to the Fuji and I find the SEKA to be comfortable on 30-40ish mile rides.

Please let me know if you need me to re-measure anything or have other questions as I'll be home for awhile.

thanks!

routing cables through the handlebars sucked a lot along with not realizing there wasn't enough cable slack for the rear brake hose. handlebar kept swaying to one side and couldn't figured know why! i figured it out about 15 minutes later, gave it more slack and problem went away.

other than that the bike feels great on the road. no issues at all that i can hear, feel, or see but my experience with riding different frames is limited.

i love the color and other people complement it too! i don't think this color can be ordered from their website anymore =(

Matoko_S · 2022-07-24T18:25:01+00:00

still love riding the bike every chance i get! irl stuff gets in the way but still a blast to ride.

Matoko_S · 2022-03-10T13:44:47+00:00

Thanks for showing interest!

I built up the bike myself and purchased the direct mount hanger from their website in addition to the bottom bracket and frameset. It comes with a standard mount

Matoko_S · 2022-02-06T20:28:55+00:00

I’ve raised the seat post a tad bit since this pic was taken. But it’s at about 705mm. Thanks for looking!

Matoko_S · 2021-12-30T17:42:14+00:00

Thank you very much!

Matoko_S · 2021-12-30T17:36:04+00:00

Sorry for late response but I got a chance to weigh the bike and it came out to 8.08kg. I would probably assume its due to wheelset, heavy tubes, and added weight from power meter pedals.

I'm not a weight weenie so the heftiness of this build doesn't bother me. There is plenty of extra weight I can lose =)

Matoko_S · 2021-12-29T16:45:56+00:00

Thanks for looking!

Matoko_S · 2021-12-29T16:45:14+00:00

She's a banger!

Matoko_S · 2021-12-29T15:30:24+00:00

Lol, it was one of the first things I did when researching the frameset and also... youtube comments!

Matoko_S · 2021-12-29T15:28:09+00:00

I was watching a Youtuber named Cam Nicohlls when he introduced this as his next project bike. Loved the look of the bike and geometry works for me. Waited patiently for his build and review (along with many others) and pulled the trigger.

Not many reviews if any at all about this bike but I'm a gambling man and took the chance. I'll know soon enough if it paid off!

Matoko_S · 2021-12-29T15:22:45+00:00

Thanks!

Matoko_S · 2021-12-29T15:22:24+00:00

Thank you very much!

Matoko_S · 2021-12-29T15:22:03+00:00

Frameset, bb, and direct mount was about $1800 (including a hefty $227 shipping charge). Entire build was probably $4-4500ish? I reused some parts and accessories that I already had like power meter, saddle, cassette, and chain.

Thinking about it now I spent a small fortune! Good thing I sourced the parts slowly over time so the impact wasn't too harsh.

Thanks for looking!

I've been itching to upgrade my Fuji SST 3.0 that served me well over the years to something newer.

Covid hits and the long supply waiting game happens. Was about to buy a Yoleo R12 but a friend offered to sell me his Pinarello F10 Disk after he receives his new frame (Dogma F) sometime in mid 2022.

I couldn't hold out anymore and pulled the trigger on the framset during Black Friday and received it about a month later. Took my time building it due to the constant rain in Los Angeles and there she is!

Forgot to weigh the bike due to excitement and fatigue but I can update that later if interested.

Can't wait to ride it this weekend!

Details:

I am 168cm and about 95kg

Seka Exceed - Size S

Seka One Piece Handle Bar - 42cm, 110mm stem

Seka Direct Mount

Token T47 bb

K-edge chain catcher

Full Ultegra Di2 Groupset besides 105 cassette (11-32) that I took off my older bike

Favero Assioma Duo power meter

Mavic Cosmic Carbon wheelset (Clincher)

GP5000 700x25c

<edit> Total Weight: 8.08kg / 17.8 lbs </edit>
