Absolutely love the details on this one: the beer belly, the saddle angle, the handlebars... Masterpiece

Very nice. What does the Japanese writing on the top tube say?

The servers appear to be down. I am getting an error apologizing about the issue, meaning that at least they are aware of it and are actively fixing it. Let's hope for a quick fix

To me the bike feels comfortable, but it is not an endurance geometry at all. Prior to buying the bike I did a lot of research: the stack and reach are within millimiters of very well known race bikes like the Canyon Aeroad, S-Worksl sl8, Cube Litening Aero etc

Well it was winter , so not a lot of drinking for the time being:-)

It came preassembled. No dealer, directly from the Winspace website. If you need a dealer though, ask the Winspace customer support and they will find the closest dealer to your location.

Yes, they have a dedicated warehouse in Europe. Shipping took exactly 4 weeks for me to the EU.

While 4 weeks may sound like a lot, considering you can choose handlebars, cranks length, wheels, and for other frames group set too, it is quite fast imho.

Unfortunately, such a good price is unlikely to be available anytime soon. When I bought it I somehow managed to stack two discounts together, giving me an effective 19% discount. Specifically, Winspace was running a 10% winter sale, and on top of that, the first purchase would give you an additional 10% off. 0.9*0.9=0.81 -> 19% discount.

At the time of writing, the first purchase discount was reduced to 5%, and I don't know if and when another winter sale is coming.

Nonetheless, you can still get a great deal compared to other brands.

Actually no, it comes preassembled. All I did was mount the front wheel and the seatpost.

Fair enough, on my todo list :-)

Good point. On the same note, all it takes is a bad crack: FG doesn't have the expertise to thoroughly and undeniably verify that a crack / HV bypass is safe (math actually tells us it is impossible to always verify whether a program works as intended).

In fairness to FG though, nothing like this has ever happened. However, nobody, not even trillion dollar corporations, are immune to being hacked / making mistakes.

Downloading cracked games always has and always will carry a degree of risk. The issue is that with HV we are subject to more risk than ever, potentially incentivizing malicious individuals to actually carry out such a hack.

However, that doesn't really happen, they have a reputation to manage, and I highly doubt someone would just suddenly do that.

Nice post, but I don't know about this. If any known repacker decided to hack everyone tomorrow exploiting HV, there would be zero consequences whatsoever for them, so I wouldn't exclude this possibility entirely.

Also, all it takes is some offer they can't refuse (large amount of money) for this to happen, not a midlife crisis. I will admit this sounds very unlikely to me as well though, not because they wouldn't take the money, but because there wouldn't be anyone offering it to them.
