also that Cinelli saddle is one of the few wider vintage models and isn’t terrible
If this was just a wee bit bigger…

always liked TETs, always wanted him to build me a custom road frame
RIP 
Yeah, I remember his website well.
Opposite end of the spectrum… this will probably go for dentist money but imagine it with a Clyde fork!

Wow, ok someone here surely can tell us all about this.
lots of companies tried it for a long time and none of them worked very well and they were too heavy
those 27 inch rims will nicely complement the finest tires

Good choice. That’s a killer deal.
Yeah, if I had found something like this before I ordered the Ritchey I would have saved so much money.
Compared to that bike:
- GRX hydro brakes are leagues better than the Growtac cable brakes.
- Wheels are way nicer but I haven’t set my other tires up tubeless yet. After riding tubeless, I get it, and will either swap this wheelset onto the Ritchey or set the other wheels up tubeless.
- With the carbon bars, rims, fork, and seatpost and low PSI tires I’m not really feeling the downsides of aluminum frame.
- Bike fits better. Not sure why, haven’t measured anything.
- Haven’t looked at geo charts but this feels sportier despite me being more upright.
- Took it over my neighborhood cobblestone streets and could really fly over them. I imagine the Ritchey would be more comfy/stable same PSI.
- Bags are shit quality. Frame bag has a tear in it and the bento box doesn’t fit anything.
- Gonna shorten stem and maybe swap to narrower ergomax bars on the Ritchey. I think these bars are narrower.
- Seatpost is a pain in the ass to set up. Ritchey also has a two bolt seatpost (Nitto), but it’s less finicky.
