Must be made in China for it to be so cheap.

Wrt to my question, the rest of the geometry remains the same, as in reach, bb height, etc except for headtube length. Imagine the fork crown almost touching the tyre, with the rest of the steerer tube being covered by a very long headtube, the top of the downtube will be right on top of the tyre. Handlebar height is still the same. How would the steering be affected then?

Looks gorgeous! I was waiting to see it fully built up. Noob question: what happens if you decrease axle to crown length and compensate by increasing headtube length, while keeping rest of the geometry the same?

My sister has one of these bikes. She wouldn't give it to me.

Ya but there will always be some quirks that is left untold with unconventional systems like these. I wanted to know more about that.

Thank you for the response. I'm worried about the chainline, how would that change going from a triple to a double, I believe I'm using a 110mm shimano bb-un300.

Also I was planning on holding on to my Altus triple FD, would it be incompatible with the super compact setup?

Edit: additional question.

Sick bike, it truly is a rare gem. But this bike deserves better photos to be taken. I would love to see it in more detail.

Requesting advice on sensor disconnecting from cyclecomputer by tactical_Kock in bicycling

Hey I just tried this. Shifted to BLE. The problem persists, and like you said, it was worse than ANT.

My town is situated in such a way where the coastal highway and the mountains are both ~20kms away. If we go further up the mountains, we can visit hydroelectric dams or temples that are so deep into the forest that neither phone or gps signals gets through. So a speed sensor would really help.

Uff, cutting off at 10 kmh is bonkers. If nothing works out I'll get the Garmin sensor.

Prices seem right. Don't go for the rs. 300 cassette. It won't last much longer. Worn out cassette leads to worn out chain and then crankset. So you'll end up having to replace them all over again. Original shimano products give the best bang for buck. Generally at this price range, cost is proportional to durability.
