Not the best photo but quite pleased with how it came out. Couple of annoying creaking noises to sort out but so far no shattered carbon ๐Ÿ˜‰

Very pretty ๐Ÿ™‚

Just dropped 1.4K on a Colnago about half an hour ago and am already twitching waiting for it!

Bike looks alright but the scenery looks very nice. Where is that?

Is it the Deng Foo R5 replica? What do you think?

It's the FM066 SL (AKA Chinvelo R5) but from Honor Bike rather than Deng Fu (they were easier to deal with for the custom paint job). So far it rides pretty well but I've only done 20km on it to sort out the last issues. I've got a Cannondale Synapse of a similar weight and as you'd expect it feels like a harsher ride than that but not so much that it's unpleasant to ride. I'll know a bit more after tonight's ride but overall it feels quick and stable. I'll go find a steep hill to ride down this evening to see how it handles corners at a decent velocity.

Have been so impressed with the carbon frames I've got direct from China. Easy people to deal with too.
