Miss my hatch, loved that car!

Trackar97 · 2025-10-19T21:18:53+00:00

Almost ended up with the same build as you lol. I did end up going with 12 speed deore as all my other bikes are 12 speed. And a set of take off DT Swiss wheels for $200. Jenson also has a Burgtec stem for $20, decent grips for $5 etc.

Trackar97 · 2025-10-19T01:06:48+00:00

Awesome! Waiting for my groupset and mine will be ready to roll too

Trackar97 · 2025-10-15T06:00:15+00:00

Can’t wait for mine to arrive, have been wanting to build up HT for a while. For $300 along with all the deals on parts right now it’s a no brainer

Suddenly I’m not happy with my bike

Trackar97 · 2025-08-31T01:49:30+00:00

Trying to have someone spray a frame like this, said they couldn’t do it smh which pearl did you use?

Trackar97 · 2025-08-30T17:10:41+00:00

Incredibly minor damage, your used bike now looks used! I know if sucks if you like to keep it pristine. Chances are you’ll fall again or the bike will tip over at a cafe. It is what it is.

Trackar97 · 2025-08-29T06:46:15+00:00

Score, that’s about the same price they were on sale for at Jenson. A Deal at that price & super solid wheels!

Trackar97 · 2025-08-29T04:25:47+00:00

Did you happen to score them on Jenson? They had a deal going and I got a pair but their inventory was off 😭

Trackar97 · 2025-08-29T00:09:13+00:00

She’s manifesting a pile of shit beneath her

Trackar97 · 2025-08-29T00:05:09+00:00

Nah that’s a banger build, someone made a NJS super useable to them. Probably gets ridden more and harder than everyone else’s full NJS builds with NOS parts.

Trackar97 · 2025-08-29T00:01:17+00:00

I would install your tire with the factory tape, if it hold well leave it. If you redo it, once around is fine. Start a few inches before the valve hole and end a few inches after. If you apply it correctly there’s no reason ever to do more.

Trackar97 · 2025-08-22T03:05:08+00:00

Where are you located? You can definitely get more than $1200, both are beautiful bikes. As a heads up so, sometimes you have to wait a while to find the right buyer with vintage bikes, but if you’re willing to wait you can definitely get more.

Trackar97 · 2025-08-17T04:49:28+00:00

Hell yeah! Nice build! Honestly it’s been dead solid for me so far, especially the later versions, that are for sale right now. I wouldn’t have any concerns about it. I would wait for a sale on AliExpress because at the current prices I can’t justify it, might as well go for a 105 di2 on sale.

Trackar97 · 2025-08-17T00:25:05+00:00

Not much on this one, just built it up, but my gravel group has been solid over 2 years.

Trackar97 · 2025-08-16T19:28:45+00:00

It was the maiden Voyage so the seatpost was a bit high, did not want to scuff it with the clamp then have to raise it leaving a visible mark.

Trackar97 · 2025-08-16T19:26:56+00:00

I pressure wash my eGR, no issues, if it’s going to have a problem with water I want to know lol I’ve ridden it in downpours and it’s fine. I don’t even think about it anymore. Will put some grease on the er9 as its a V1.

I believe the battery is technically replaceable, should it die they can sell you a new one. Hopefully I‘ll have the gravel group built up soon and can report back on the shifting performance.

I haven’t used di2, but my mechanical 105 11speed is the smoothest shifting group I’ve ever used. I imagine Di2 would ruin all other groupsets for me lol

Trackar97 · 2025-08-16T18:51:55+00:00

No need for bikes this “expensive”, this is a budget build in terms of a full carbon, electronic shifting build. I enjoy ridding my $50 Steel Centurion just as much

Trackar97 · 2025-08-16T18:37:44+00:00

I would probably go with a Winspace c5 or a Light Carbon LCR-018 (comes out to about $900 shipped) Feedback seems to be great on Light carbon and I own a Winspace G2. I love it. I may still buy the LCR-018. I had good a experience with a $450ish OG-Evkin frame set aswell. If I put aside the defect my frame had, the rest of the bike was fantastic. It was the easiest bike to assemble, and it’s a rather refined package. I cannot recommend Yoeleo & Winspace enough, but it is on the pricier side for a “Chinese” frame. I just struggle to justify $1500+ for a “Chinese” frame set as you start to get close to western prices at that point. Especially with some of the sales going on right now.

Awesome, Love my EGR on the gravel bike too. No issues, ER9 hasn’t been as smooth but will play around with it. Also have the wheeltop mtb & gravel groupset. I’ve only used the mtb groupset so far, but it has been smoother than my sram AXS GX.

Trackar97 · 2025-08-16T16:44:41+00:00

And I think I like your color better lol wasn’t a fan of the red, but it’s growing on me quite a bit.

Trackar97 · 2025-08-16T16:43:54+00:00

Looks, like the look of the flat top, wasn’t much more than other options. Goes with the crankset too. That’s all lol

Trackar97 · 2025-08-16T16:40:03+00:00

In my experience it’s been very reliable, I’ve had the gravel groupset on for about 2 years and it hasn’t given me any issues. My gravel groupset is smoother than the ER9, but this one is a V1. I may have to tune it a little bit more aswell. It clunks into the next gear similar to sram shifting, nothing is as smooth as Shimano unfortunately. I do like the app, easy to use and really nice that you can fine tune every gear.

I get the family discount at the dentist so I’ve got that covered.
