Velobuild CX-002 CycloCross Frame
The Velobuild CX-002 is a carbon cyclocross frame designed for CX and light gravel use. It features a unique aero design with dropped seatstays, full internal routing, and 42mm tire clearance. Frame weight is around 1250g (size 56). It uses a BB86 bottom bracket, flat mount disc brakes, and a 27.2mm seatpost. The frame is not a homage but an original design by Velobuild. Pricing is approximately $500-600. Users praise its versatility, comfort, and build quality, but note tall standover height, lack of frame mounts, and potential headset/stem issues.
XMCS AERYS:VRT
The XMCS AERYS:VRT is a new aero road frame from XMCS, priced at $1650 USD (frame + hardware). It weighs approximately 930-994g (size M, unpainted) and offers 35mm tire clearance. The frame is made from carbon fiber using a monobloc mold and features a 2-bolt saddle clamp, zero and 15mm offset seatposts, and compatibility with mechanical shifting. It is designed for aerodynamics, with planned wind tunnel testing at Silverstone. The frame is available in sizes M and L initially, with S and XXL coming later. Paint is included (1 custom color). The fork design has been critiqued for its upward-angled ridge, but the overall quality and engineering are praised.

Ich habe mir bei Ali dieses Langarmtrikot in coral gekauft und bin von der Qualität positiv überrascht. Das ist der erste Kauf von Bekleidung bei Ali. Ich sehe keinerlei Unterschiede zu meinen anderen Trikots von Castelli, Q36.5 und Gobik. Größenangabe von Ali passt auch (EU Größe eine Nummer größer als asiatische Größe)

Xiamen Carbon Crank Cluster: Who Actually Makes Carbon Cranksets?
In the recent year(s) there seem to have been popping up a couple of Carbon Crankset brands from China. Dig a little and forum threads start pointing in the same direction: several of these brands appear to share components, factories, or both.
