Anyone got an opinion on shimano wh r561 wheels? NOS for 100£ish
To low spoke count?

in 700c?

yes

One is half the price of the other, if that helps in the decision making process...

Unfortunately both of them cost roughly the same here.

Mavic open sport or h son tb14 for commute/occasional bad terrain riding?

Hope so! :)

i've got a freebie Deore XT RD m750 and crank m751 to build around,
but still considering 105 groupset, either 5700 or 5800 if the price difference is not too high.

for the wheels, considering shimano r501.

hoping from some input as this is my first :)

You would most likely be having to deal with import duties and such from asia though.

Luckily I'm already in asia
Still waiting for the complete quote from the seller.

Yep, €475 should be around $600 on my local currency.
The shipping would be cheaper from Hong Kong though.

Loved the picture set said!
So the collar is brazed then?
What size are yours? What about the maximu clearance on tyre?

Cheers,

Dave

Loved that picture set on pedalroom said!
Oh so the seatpost collar is brazed on?
What size is yours? And the maximum clearance on tyre?

Thanks,
Dave

Any opinion on the frame set?
Been quoted around $600 for the frame, headset, seatpost collar.

What would the price of a mielec realisticly be? Say, frame only + £99 generic carbon fork?

you'd be looking at ~200-250 i imagine mielec nowadays with brazeons etc

mielec emailed me with 220 EUR, that plus the fork and shipping + tax making it around the same price with the others. although i've been looking at some cheap alloy forks.

I think the nature boy, pompino and cross check have rather boring front end geometry. Very safe and slow. Also, no carbon fork.

If you go on the orient express you have mutible frames and geometries available. However you are looking at a price of around $500 (frame, fork, headset, shipping) + $160 eccentric BB before any import taxes. But you'll most likely end up with a build 1-2 kg lighter and stiffer. Warrenty is shit though.

slow would not be much problem. i wont race this (no cx race as far as i know here) but i do imagine the ride will be more fun than my current bianchi pista that make me stick to the road.

what Chinese frame that you use zdrenka? any links on the build process post? i'm looking at the FM058 and FR601 (prefer cantis than disk)
although i may end up building an 1x9/10 if this route is chosen.

rough calculation show not much difference with the SS/fixed on final build cost if i stick with sora/tiagra group and chinese components

thanks.

Thanks, tenderloin
Would definitely consider the pompino if it is available here (Jakarta)

Yeah building the Chinese carbon fixed would add the cost, but a tensioner would be enough if I run it SS right?

Actually the nature boy (from the spec it's not the current model) is only available complete bike here, while the cross check I can get the 2013 frame set a bit cheaper than the current.
But building the crosscheck with similar spec will be roughly cost the same as the nature boy.

Truth be told, from purely aesthetic I would go for the nature boy :) while the mielec is considered because I think I can ask for the geo of nature boy with adding a wishbone stays which I like.

Thinking of getting a budget sscx frame,

Been narrowing down the choices to ordering from mielec, getting a nature boy, or crosscheck. Actually one other choice is getting one of those Chinese carbon frames.

All of them will cost me roughly the same as frame sets

Any input would be great!

Thanks before

Hello, I've been following this thread for a while and have finally made the decision to go through with the purchase of a mielec, but I have a slight problem- I really dislike the mash style down tube (it seems to be just to fat) .Thus, I turn to you , all knowing LFGS community. Please suggest some geometry that would solve my conundrum (the fact that I know nothing about bike geometries does not help)!

Hi,
Have you contacted them yet?
I emailed them about a week a go, haven't got any reply

The look like the SKS Raceblades in Aluminium.

white or black raceblades depends on which bike

Thanks mates!

Tomaspuika Mielec finally getting ridden.

What mudguards are those?

The cannondale site says there's rear rack and mudguard mount and front muguard mount.
