Just got THE email with tracking #!!!
Troydon says he’s a bit ahead of schedule and my frame has left the building! Scheduled delivery tomorrow!!!

 

[AlumiPro]

What an absolutely stunning frame!!
Troydon hooked me up, lucky 77 and a Vivid coil!
I didn’t think there was even a chance of me getting a coil shock being that I ordered two days after the frame released. Because of this I also have a new custom tuned Telum waiting to be installed. I may be selling the Vivid coil, as I’m already very familiar with the Telum on my Anakin V2, and love it!
So far I am extremely happy I pulled the trigger on this frame! Perfect color and I’m seeing great improvements over my last 2023 Crestline.
My evening = staring at this frame

Gearbox bikes haven't won't a world cup yet. I they were that much better they would be dominating. ....

Maybe better suspension worse pedalling efficiency evens out total speed?

Not yet, but they really don’t have any top 10 riders in the mens elite or top 5 riders in women’s elite on a gearbox. If Bruni or Goldstone were on a gearbox, they would have won on them by now. I think it will happen, but it’s just a matter of having a top rider on a gearbox. I definitely don’t think gearboxes or belt drives are holding any of the riders on them back. I also think the benefits far outweigh any perceived negatives.

The bash guard is a huge improvement over my previous 2023 Crestline.

Did yours come with the chain ring removal tool?

 

[AlumiPro]

Yes it did!
It’s a 1/2” drive. So be sure you have a reducer to 3/8”, if that’s what your torque wrench is.

I got my frame Tuesday but haven't had a chance to check it out. As expected Troydon was able to accommodate all my requests. RH2, Vivid coil and 445 drop outs.
Insertion looks to be better than the bosch gen5 crestline. 175mm axs reverb

Those are some pretty hands you have. I purposely leave my hands out of pics because they are so beat up.

And its just short clips if you stroking ya Crestline...... all those poor dudes that can't afford a Crestline will sign up just to watch it.... ironically spending the money they could have saved to buy a Crestline in tge first place....

 

[AlumiPro]

Office worker hands.

I was thinking; most people that can afford Crestlines and S-Works are probably Doctors.

 

[Svarun]

I guess frame number 69 will be the one for "collectors"

 

[SenditOTB]

Hey, are there any weight figures for a fully built frame so far?

 

[Posvar1]

About a pound lighter than the Bosch Gen 5

What size dropper are you running? Not sure what’s the max seatpost insertion depth on rh3

Or in my case have a head on with a car and get an insurance payout......

It’s a 175 pnw loam, I’m 5’10” and can’t run anything more than a 180 usually. It’s not bottomed out, I didn’t try to push it all the way in with the cable. But it did go all the way to the collar when I was testing the fit

 

[AlumiPro]

So I just noticed my frame came with a Euro plug and no nut for the chainring spider. I’m guessing those of you in the US got the right plug? Or do we need to buy an adapter?
Did you all get the spider nut? Tool is here but no nut.
Interesting there is no parts list or any form of paperwork with this frame only kit.

I received the correct US plug and spider ring.

 

[AlumiPro]

I received the correct US plug and spider ring.

This is what I received.
Curious, was the spider ring on the motor or in a bag?
The four small screws, two for the mini mud guard and the other two for……..water bottle?

Bummer. The spider ring was inside one of the bags.

Lucky!

 

[Plummet]

Lucky!

I wouldn't call hitting a car at 30kph lucky. Even though it financially worked out. If i had the chance to go back in time and not be hit by a car, i'd take that option.

The new RS 181s is too nice, I’d take the hit!

 

[BikingBad]

So Troydon said the XO cranks will work?
This was my order

I noticed you ordered cranks with GapCap Type: “Bosch BDU38” instead of “Bosch”. Did it fit properly? I need to purchase GapCap separately (going with XO cranks), trying to buy the correct GapCap. Thx.
