My UPS tracking number was sent two days ago but it has not updated past "label created". If this were EMS, I would not think twice about it but UPS tracking is typically pretty reliable. I noticed that UPS has a notice…
That is good to know about the tracking. Thank you. I had my bike damaged legitimately. A Tahoe rear ended me on my way to a ride. That Carbonda paint is tough. It only cracked where the tubes were sheared. My car was…
I am 5'9". I have long legs but the 54 always felt slightly long with a 100mm stem. The slack 73 degree seat angle made the reach even longer. At your height, a 52 is probably a bit too small. In my opinion, of course.
I have a CFR696 on order too. I had one a few years ago in a 54cm that got squashed by a car while it was on my bike rack. It was a great bike but a tad too big. I am back in the Carbonda game but with a 52cm and the…

That looks really good! Great choice that you don't see often. I went with RAL 5115 and I can't wait! clasher wrote: Here's my 505, should be on its way over the ocean sometime soon. Supposed to be RAL 4006 and I'm…
I don't know where you are located but if you are in the US, Sticker Mule is decent. www.stickermule.com If you have your own artwork, it is easy to submit it and get decals made for not a lot of money. You will have to…
That beige looks really nice! The orange accent adds the perfect amount of color. When you saw the painted product, is it what you had in mind? I had a CFR 696 painted a few years ago and I found the actual paint on the…
I have a 2021 Trek Domane with the T47 BB. I currently have 700x40 Maxxis Ramblers fitted and I have no clearance issues at all. It's a good bike but it only has 2 bottle mounts. The frame is kind of heavy but it really…

And by 11-34, I mean 11-32.

I have a Force GXP crank and I happened to have a brand new Shimano BB at the time of my build and no Sram BB. In the end, I chose to sell the Shimano and buy a Sram BB for ~$21. I am curious to hear how the adapter…
I ran full housing after seeing the cable guides and the sharp bends. I also see a trend with mountain bikes and OPEN bikes advertising full housing as a selling point. In the end, I am glad that I did. The build went…
Another view in gravel mode. With some various bike part bags on the floor. There is helicopter tape on the chainstays to protect the paint from chainslap. Unfortunately, the mechanical Sram rear derailleurs do not have…
That is an odd perspective from my camera! You get the point. I will trim another half inch off the steerer after another ride or two. Ride twice, cut once.
