    And in total fairness to the original fitter, the kit didn’t fit the head tube or around the cable ports properly and had to be trimmed on the fitting we just did, but with experience and knowledge I just trimmed it accordingly – the odd kit has to get a wee tweak here and there.

    I’m sorry but this is just not my experience of Invisiframe kits. I’ve fitted 4, to 4 different models of bikes and in that time the fit has improved a lot. There used to be gaps between the sheets but now they butt up to each other perfectly.
    The shop should have held its hands up prior to handing back the absolutely crap job they did on the frame, not once but twice.

    As a %age I wonder how many 4 is of all the kits invisframe make and more so as the number of different kits the guy who posted it has fitted.

    My guess it’s so small that there would be no luck involved in getting 4 that didn’t need fettled

    Generally – the kits are absolutely bang on, but I fit 4-5 kits a week to various different bikes and there is the odd occasion where a tweak is needed.

    This week I’ve done a Mach 6, Nomad V4, that occam and a gravel bike thing – only the occam kit needed tweaked.

    I agree – and this is what i mean by attention to detail.

    Nothing about it was acceptable (but the head tube parts didn’t fit – a small part of the overall ‘bad job’)

    I’m at about 20 installs now. I’ve had one piece of one kit that needed trimming and that was because invisframe hadn’t factored in that the chainstay protector was factory fitted. I’ve also had one kit where the instructions had part 1 mislabeled and as I’ll sometimes cut each piece off the sheet prior to peeling off the backing I caught it before it was an issue. Had it been my first install it woulve really put me off. I emailed Invisi and I assume they corrected it.
    I’ll also say that my experience of invisframe is much better than ridewrap. Ridewrap seem to try too hard to use big pieces which makes installation trickier as you have to form as you go with complex curves and they elect to use overlap layers aroung chainstay bridges etc. Their Matt film also isn’t as good as invisframe.
