Description

This is an in-depth review of my build of the Trifox X16 QR Rim Brake in Chameleon Blue. Overall it's an awesome frame, and if you can get over the hurdles of the assembly then it can be a fast road bike for you.

Some issues I've encountered:
0:00 - Intro
0:49 - Saddle rail clamp needed sanding based on poor post-processing of burrs
1:21 - Seatpost slipping
2:18 - Seatpost might need to be cut down if you're shorter
3:07 - Rear dropout needed sanding
3:27 - Bottom bracket threads needed chasing
3:53 - Seatpost screw doesn't sit flush
4:12 - Nick in the paint upon arrival
4:27 - Extra pieces included with the frame that aren't needed for the build which might be confusing
6:08 - Should you buy this bike frame?
7:22 - Show me the bike!!

No showstoppers from building the bike up, however you'd need to be fairly handy/patient as it might not be a perfect frame out of the box. Some big brands have similar issues so you can interpret it how you'd like. Hopefully Trifox can learn from feedback from their customers to build great bikes so that they can continue growing.
