I have this frameset and let me tell you it is superb, i have been building and riding bikes for over 50 years and lucky enough to have ridden all the high end stuff as well. The owner/creator of this brand Carlos is one of the most affable fellas i have ever dealt with and knows his stuff as well. The welds are a stack of dimes,the bosses are neat and tidy ,bottom bracket area is very good. My build is good old fashioned mechanical with a set of carbon wheels ,the ride quality and geometery really shine and the whole package is more than enough for us everyday cyclists.The best comparison i can make is i own 3 Ritchey bikes and this is as good as them and let me tell you that is no faint praise.
One hundred percent. It’s a fine machine, for sure. You can’t go wrong with a decent mechanical set up, so I totally get that choice. It’s great to see a smaller niche brand like this succeed and produce bikes that compare so well to the bigger brands.
Didn’t have my scales with me unfortunately but Gloria website has frame as ~1.8kg and frameset at ~2.2kg. I think ~1.7kg to ~1.9kg seems to be the range for these sorts of frames. I would guesstimate total weight ex pedals, cages and sealant to be just over 9kg but will get it on scales next time I get a chance.
