Not so much a Chinerello but a Chinese carbon just the same.
Nearly built but I realised I did not have a long enough front brake bolt and that the painted seatpost meant that the tolerance was out so I could not install it properly. Looks like I will be removing some of the paint so that I can insert it.
No major issues in the build other than those and certainly no more issues than I had with my Moots, Blacksheep or Santa Cruz. And yes, that is grease on the post which will be cleaned off so that I can clean up the paint.
Also the bars and levers need some work.

Hey!!
You cant have everything.
Look at how much seatpost extension I have.
Some people want everything. :biggrin:

I had the same issue with the front brake sleeve bolt. There is a 40mm sleeve bolt available to fix the issue. I got it from Clarence St Cyclery in Sydney, as they have them around seeing many carbon forks need the super long sleeve bolt. Surely you can get it elsewhere as well.
Build looks good.

OK, I fitted some new bars - what do you guys think?
And even from having just ridden them around my block a few times upon setting everything up, they are SOLID. I feel a lot better riding with these bars than what I have used before. I very much like them. Sizing is this: 420mm c-c, 90mm stem. They mean my brake/gear levers are about 10-15mm lower than before, but I'll live with that.
Just awaiting my white hoods to arrive.

Hi scblack, the build looks terrific, old or new bars ... :02.47-tranquillity:
