Everything is perfect now. All I need is a crankset upgrade. And maybe get a 15t cog for some easy riding. On a side note, I won my first alleycat recently with my riser bar set up.

Hi bro, I am using a SRAM S300 crankset, so as with yours it comes with a 3/32 chainring, do you have noise issues with yours, from the chain I mean what chain do you use? thx

Hey man. I'm using a HKK vertex chain, the cheapest one I can find. I do get some noise from my drivetrain, but I'm guessing it's due to my cog and chainring not bing in line.

thanks man, mine problem is exactly the same, as the chainring is so close to the frame that is absolutely impossible for me to get it alligned with the cog. I got in touch with some custom bike constructors and they said they gave up using the Sram S300 for the same reason, what a shame - this crankset is so beautiful

Well, actually I managed to silenced it with a little extra lube on the chain. It does still make some noise occasionally at Low speed and gather much more dirt and grime, but yea, lube does help abit.

well man thanks for the advice, your frame is great by the way, I bet it is even better quality than the "recognized" brands where you spend your money on a name. 7005 T6 is one of the finest aluminum compounds and the paintjob is also great. Enjoy! :)

Nice build! I'm thinking of getting the same frameset myself. Does it feel comfortable? Does it feel too low

Thanks man. Well, it's pretty decent and feel quite comfortable with my current set up tho it is a little heavy due to me using Budget parts. The frame itself is designed as a compact pursuit geometry so it sure does feel quite Low, which I got used to quite fast actually. But some thing to take note for this frame is the chainring clearance and the toe overlap which is kinda annoying at times. But all in all, it's a great frame to ride on. Hope you have fun if you ever get one of this.
