The new frame SHOULD land tomorrow according to on-one but as i haven't had a dispatch email and tracking details i am not holding my breath!
One of the great things is that it has internal cable routes BUT not one for a dropper post 🙁
First question is - do i go 1x10 (currently 2x10) and use one of the internal routings which was for the front mech for the dropper post OR
question 2 - how would the dropper post cable be best and neatest routed?
question 3 - carbon frame - does it require kid glove heli-taping or not?
none question 4 - just checking - don't grease the seatpost use carbon paste?
frame is this btw:

1 x 10 is good 11-36 with 32 ring works well for me.

Depends on what dropper post really?
[i]question 3 - carbon frame - does it require kid glove heli-taping or not?[/i]
Always worth heli taping underside of down tube, top of top tube + cable rub areas.
[i]question 4 -[/i]
No grease - use fibre grip or similar esp if you are using a Reverb.

Nice! I do like the look of them. The graphics are great. Make sure you post lots of pics when it arrives and the build in progress!

Here is a shite "in build" photo to go on with.
Waiting on grip lockrings, chain device from superstar and some carbon easton havocs
Needs a better photo for mocking stuff.
Pet bowls need a wash
That copper pipe could do with paining the same colour as the wall
Bike looking good though 🙂
is the tissue evidence of how pleased you were to see it?
😉
painted copper pipes are for chav house
cruzheckler - Memberpainted copper pipes are for chav house
That's why it needs painting 😉
I have been looking at thos Titus frames and thinking 'Maybe'
be interested to see one built up and hear what you think.

i know its a new build, but sheeesh, how many headset spacers?......
It's difficult to gauge the valve/Tyre-graphics interplay in that light. Perhaps a photo out in the garden, but for heavens sake make sure the grass is cut, fence posts have toppers and the paving slabs have no weeds between them.
they are just stuck on top to stop my little girl running off with em!! They will be off tomorrow when the steerer is cut down by about 60mm!
blue grip clams and a white single ring XCR chain device to go for now
will be cut to 205mm i reckon
very different to nomad, looks good though.
They do look nice bikes and sooooo tempting for the money. Keen to know how it goes. When's first ride?
( I won't mention the logo valve faux pax )
first ride is tuesday i reckon as its a road ride tomorrow. CBA with the valves
Tape before you do anything else!!
