So I wanted to get out of my comfort zone... I was looking for a time trial frame to build up and this new in the box A-D TT frame came up at the right time at the right price.
First thing was a tour of the inside of the Made In China frame with a iPhone compatible borescope, nothing scarry was found, it's a good quality frame. A nice touch was the conduit running inside the frame and chainstay for the rear derailleur. The bottom bracket (BB86) was actually round and in spec, parallelity of the bottom bracket faces took a little work to get right with most of the work on the NDS.
The three piece threaded bottom bracket is made by Enduro Bearing (UTC-0113) for a Campagnolo Ultra Torque Super Record 11 speed crankset. Installation was painless.
Fitting the fork was next up, I used a Cane Creek 110 integrated headset, Nitto UI-27 17 degree 110mm stem and two carbon spacers (2mm + 8mm) to center the stem on the column lock. the photo below is a mock up just to make sure I'm happy with the fit-up.
So whatzit look like... Here you go!!!
