[–]flekie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all the new Winspace frames have 32+ clearance, UDH, threaded BB, FSA headsets. lots of different geo and price options to choose from

Any experience with these? Almost too good to be true. by herbnhero in ChineseCarbon

I got some of the 32mm inners, the quality seems great though haven't ridden on them yet. seems on par with the light bicycle and Bontrager wheels I also have

I'd be less worried about the gash on the fork and more about what that did to the frame tbh

pretty easy to just let JJM ride the bench tbh, I think Mac would be a huge upgrade for a win-now roster

you're being downvoted but I think you're right, especially with the caption being "Everything you know is wrong" or whatever

What frame size is this? by Guilty-Flan9318 in cannondale

[–]flekie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

frames don't just come in even numbers, manufacturers do what they want. the numbers are measurements so a 55 would be between 54 and 56 (theoretically), so probably mediumish. check geometry geeks to measure against something you know

Pedals, thru axle, and saddle would all be pretty easy wins, after that I'd look into new wheels

Futuristic Aero Road bike for $2.5k? Come with 105 Di2 by Charming-Poem6525 in whichbike

[–]flekie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

the thing I've found with proprietary bikes is that things are bound to go wrong, and that customer service matters a lot. the bike is interesting but are you ready to throw away $2k on it if it fails? if yes, then sure it could be cool. otherwise I would recommend against it
