    I've got 10mm crown race spacer on mine and the blue adjuster on the fork crown still tickles the downtube.

    Yeah sure, the spacer is made by reverse components https://reverse-components.com/en/products/05%C2%B0-angle-spacer-tapered-forks Close up it makes the frame/fork look a tad 'gappy' but you'll soon forget it's even there. With that spacer installed I now only just get fork clearance of the...

    Just logged back in after several weeks and seen this. Exact same thing happened on my bike after a very slow 'over the bars' a few weeks back. Couldnt believe how easily that part broke tbh. Fortunately I had the universal stem kit ready to replace the broken part and have went down the...

    Best looking one so far 😍 I'm assuming you're fork crown clears the underside of your downtube seeing as you've fitted your own stem/removed the knokblock feature??

    Thanks for taking time to reply, I'm going to do a bit of investigation with my bike when the rain stops. I'm a medium but pretty sure the fork crown will hit my frame as I had a quick look the other day..... We'll see!

    Lovely bike! I see youve put your own stem etc on. I have the parts to do this but was concerned about the clearance of the top of the fork under the downtube with the knockblock function removed? Any issue?

    It's quite a long laborious task, especially when you're OCD won't allow for any bubbles etc. I've done about five bikes now and I'm always battling against the sunset by the close of day 😂 I also have a 3 and 1 year old so rarely get time to myself. How fast do you do a bike??

    My M10 arrived last week and I've just spent the day invisiframing it! The original frame that I received went straight back under warranty for several paint issues. This one, albeit not perfect, is a lot better! The colour in the sunshine is truly outstanding! Cannot wait to take it for a spin!!!

    Tbh, the raw carbon look on these frames doesn't appeal to me. It does look pretty bad but I guess the lighting conditions will make a significant difference highlighting the carbon fibre weave also? I'm assuming the actual final gloss coat is smooth though and not rough which is how it looks...

    Look forward to the pics... Isnt the cosmic carbon frame not meant to look raw and kinda unfinished anyway?

    I've waited around 7 weeks for my frame replacement from Orbea. What's the usual average wait time for a replacement frame? I was told custom frames take longer which I understand however my custom frame was all one colour so that doesn't wash with me

    It's like they took your first bike back, stared at it, shrugged their shoulders, boxed it up and sent it straight back to you! My frame is on the way back to the dealer from Orbea so should be built up and ready for me soon. I too have used Leisurelakesbikes but unlike you, my service so far...

    I get what you're saying however the reality is that for several new owners of the Wild in here, they/we've not yet had a chance to experience the thrill of the ride as our bikes have arrived in an unacceptable condition. I can assure you, for me anyway, that once my frame is back and I get to...

    There's no way mine was done in shipping. You can clearly see where the paint spray has faded away on the frame during the painting stage.

    Maan.... That is truly awful! Mine went back as soon as it arrived as there were several obvious defects on the paintwork reported by my dealer. I dread to think if there were anymore had I actually got hold of the bike and taken a better look. My replacement is due very soon so a wait of...

    I've emailed them probably seven or eight times regarding various things and each time I've had a reply within 24/48 hours. The quality of my bike when it arrived was not great but it's been replaced and I was compensated for the inconvenience. I cannot fault their customer service this far 👍🏻
