What do you mean by the chain stay's being massive?
My Boardman CX is being upgraded to a Chinese Carbon CX frame

Your delivery situation mirrors mine, 4 days to the UK, 7 days in customs and 3 day to the door. Customs seem pants.

I now think they replace the internal cable stops if you want to run full length sleeving

Basic build is complete and a 200metre test run, everything feels good. Its all there but without all the commuting gear yet to be fitted, so the basic bike comes in at 8.4kg.
That's with Shimano 105, Sora chainset, Avis BB7 rear, TRP Hy/Rd front, Kinesis CXDisc wheelset, Pro4 Endurance tyres and latex tubes. Charge spoon saddle with Flyxii supplied carbon seatpost. Ritchey comp stem and handlebars, M520 pedals

Any chance of getting some pictures? Overall and some close ups?
It would be nice to see the quality.

Thanks for sharing. It does look really good. There's some thought in the desig there instead of taking a steel frame and replacing the parts with Carbon.

Only one problem. There are no knobbles on those tyres. Go get it muddy !!

DI2 ports those. You change the cable stoppers for them if using DI2.

Lovely frame though!!! Looks great another thing I would have is an all black seatpost instead of the Chinese one too
