Winow TT119 Triathlon Frame and HB052 Armrest from AliExpress - Inital Review
The reviewer discusses their experience with the Winnow TT119 triathlon frame and HB052 handlebar purchased from AliExpress. They mention having raced on the Winnow TT119 and achieving personal bests, describing it as aerodynamic and fast. The bike was built with a Tram Axis wireless groupset, Oneri BR05 hybrid disc brakes, and Mene Wheels DB508s (50mm front, 58mm rear). They highlight the frame's clearance for 32mm tires and its resemblance to older Curvello P series triathlon bikes. However, they note several issues including a slipping seat post, front end stability problems due to a thick compression ring, and soft hardware screws. The HB052 handlebar is praised for its sleek look but criticized for a design flaw in the threaded angled spacer causing cross-threading issues.
