Pedal Force UD frame UPDATE

[bobswire]

I got into a group buy at the beginning of the month with Pedal Force wanting to get their CG1 ISP frame.
I was informed the group buy was accepted but the frame I wanted will be on order and might take awhile for stock but they just received the latest QS3 UD ISP frame that I can have in place of the CG1.
I accepted and they sent me a pic of the frame, looking forward to building it up. :banana:

Woot. New ride. Let us know how it rides. Is this a toe in carbon land?

Well Geof if I happen to run into any old dudes I'll let you know. ;)

Initial build will be Centaur drive and Velocity/IRD Cadence wheels.

Haven't decided to take the plunge for CF wheels yet .

I've had the same frame for 3 years now. Has all the "modern features" BB30, 1 1/2" -1 1/4" headset, weighs 890g in a 54cm, UD finish is very understated, carbon dropouts with aluminum face.

My only niggle is that the chainstay and seatstay (drive side) are too close to the axle location in the dropout. It depends on the skewer but most will get the drive side end trapped between the stays and the RD (Campy 10 in my case). It's can be annoying in the way that lawyer tabs are on a fork. If you choose one of the weight weenie skewers, the thread end should be smaller than "normal" skewers (Campy, Rolf and Reynolds in my case).

You look pretty damn fit to me!

Let us know what you think of the frame.

What fork are you going to put on there?

Nice Bosberg :P

Thanks for heads up. I've found that problem on other frames as well, I just leave the skewer off until I have the wheel in place.
As long as Vittoria Paves fit,I'll be a happy camper.

I'm going to use their fork that matches the frame, was thinking of getting
the ENVE but I've good reviews on the forks that are made for their frames.

So I've been told, always liked the Bosberg color scheme.

+1 ..love bosberg n ritte stuff.

[ultraman6970]

would be cool to use that paint scheme.

[bobswire]

Yeah but I kinda like the UD carbon, gives it a Parlee'esque affect. :^)

[AngryScientist]

looks great Bob. I'm thoroughly enjoying my budget carbon frame, and i'm sure you'll like this one as well. looking forward to your ride report.

Note to self: stay off of Bobswire's lawn.

OK, old dead thread, but they still sell CG1s which still look like nice rides.

how much tire clearance in there? able to run 25s? 27s & 28s?
