i can't believe they didnt sand the crown on such a high end bike, if thats there quality controll im glad i didnt wast me cash on a Pino

[octapotamus]

looks like massive brake reach, was this the case? (might've been an optical illusion)

[akosivlad]

@octapotamus

Just optical illusion since there are no tires on the rims. No problem with brake reach.

[akosivlad]

I did not have to do any modification, the nut slid inside the hole no problem for me. How about switching front and rear? Front usually has longer bolt&nut.

I also got my frame from maniac-bicycle, maybe my frame has some problems, even with the headset.

Those frames are very good, I got it last year, already 7500km and I'm super happy. I'm 195-205lb I got videos going almost 70km on this bike, my GoPro bracket broke from vibrations going downhill frame solid like a rock.

@sebo2001 Hi I've just seen your post about these frames. I've just bought one from China and am very please with it. I'm in the process of building it up with some Dura Ace parts etc. I've seen a lot of bad press on forums about them ~ build quality and frames breaking. Not sure whether to take the remarks with a pinch of salt and ignore them. Was please to see that you gave some pos feedback on your frame. Is it still ok for you and giving you many good miles?

I sanded the bottom of crown race to fit the contour of the fork to get rid of gap. it sits flush

[henrypvasquez]

did you have some problem installing the brake calipers, specially the rear brake. the holes doesnt match?

[akosivlad]

@henrypvasquez

I did not have a problem installing the rear/front brake calipers. I have BR-7800 braksets and the bolts snug into the holes.

[henrypvasquez]

Hi Mate,

Im using ultegra 6700 brakes , the bolts are just too short and it wont even touch the nuts, specially on the rear. maybe you can help me.

[henrypvasquez]

hi mate,

is your crown race lies flat on your fork? or there is a gap between your fork and crown race?

[akosivlad]

Bought on eBay maniac bike. No problem with headset, I sanded it also to clean some resin, typical of carbon frame/fork. I needed to modify the cable guide under the bottom bracket with candle to heat it up and a little bending of the plastic.

[henrypvasquez]

...have you had any problem with the headset crown? on my case i required a spacer between the crown and the fork...also i did sanded some of the crown race...

[Kuiper1966]

Hi, this frame look beautiful! Do you know from whom you bought it?

[akosivlad]

The frame came with the headset. It is neco brand, but I believe campy headset works

[henrypvasquez]

hi there, we got the same frame, handlebar etc from ebay, what brand of headset did you use? what headset model?
