Nice work! Beautiful bike… How would you say the build quality of the bike and how it compares with the other mainstream ones like Giant and Specialized? I love the look of this bike but it’s so hard to find reviews online
Thanks for the comment. Build quality seemed good. Although I didn’t fully build the bike, so can’t say with a lot of confidence. Most high end bikes will be pretty good quality, it mainly will come down to your personal preferences. And, I think it’s important to find out what the after purchase customer service is like in your country - some distributors are better then others - should you have a warranty issue.
To me, this is a beautiful frame. These frames are very expensive from domesic sources here in the States but somewhat more reasonably priced from European sources. I wouldn't buy one here as I'd be concerned about dealing with any problems or needing replacement parts. Also, that seat wedge looks like generic, low-quality Chinese stuff which gives me pause.
Yep, they are very expensive. I wouldn’t think it would be too hard to source any replacement parts, I’m assuming there is a distributor wherever you are, or like you say, you could always get from Europe. As far as the seat wedge, yeh it’s pretty generic. Works ok, once in there, but I would have expected a more integrated solution for this frameset. Cheers for the comment
Lovely build, great workmanship and care, keep it up
Thanks Dave, appreciate the support.

What a nice machine. Do you know which frame size it is?
It’s a big one - 58.
Thank you! Do you also know the dimensions of the bar/ stem, especially the declared stem length for reference?
@@daydreaming_aristocrat I think the stem length is 110mm, but I’m not 100% sure on that one.
