Regards from India, I was indeed looking for a CFR707 video since many months. I believe yours is the first I ever found online. Thanks for that! It has inspired confidence and I will surely build my gravel by January.❤❤
Thanks for the video. I have one coming in a few weeks. I was so back and forth about safety of the frame and the integrated bars and potential costs being cut at the expense of safety. It seems like you and your friends like them enough so that gives me confidence. They do make frames for obed, Ridley, bomb track and a few others
Hey question for you as I just took delivery of a 707 frame. The build is honestly not going very well. I am almost done but the seatpost clamp will not hold the post straight. Minimal effort can twist it. I have tried: tons of fiber grip, 8nm torque, beer can shim, sandpaper shim, sanding the sliding pieces of the clamp itself and greasing them, greasing the bolt itself (I only went to about 5-6nm with this as it increases the clamping force and I don't want to break the thing). Roughing up the post itself with sandpaper. I measured the diameter of the post itself and it's 27.1 so I tried a verified 27.2 carbon FSA one I have on another bike and it still slips. I tried rocking the seat back and forth and re torquing it....I have not ridden it and re torqued it after actually riding yet so that is my last resort. Did you run into a similar issue at all? I am starting to regret the entire build at this point
So for anyone interested, the solution was cleaning fiber grit off of the interface between the post and the wedge. The wedge has little teeth that are designed to hold the seatpost and I think introducing fiber grit to this area acted as more of a lubricant than a friction increasing paste. I still put fiber grit on the back of the post where it pushes up against the frame seat tube
Sorry just noticed your question. I put carbon paste on the rear section where it’s carbon to carbon and haven’t had any slipping. Hope you’re like you 707!
@@darylpace thanks for making the video. Did a few rides including a 90 mile gravel ride and it handled really nicely. It feels like a space ship although it's not actually all that much faster than my steel gravel bike.
How do you like the 3d printed bell mount, working well? I ordered the 505SL, and gonna receive it the next few weeks. excited to build it up. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for this very useful video. I have one question, on my CFR707 I'm facing difficulty to adjust the brake caliper in order to prevent the disc to rub against the pads for front and rear brakes. I would like to perform the surfacing of the brake caliper mount on the frame and the fork. In that respect, I would like to know if you also performed the surfacing of the brake caliper mount on the frame? If you did so, what tool did you use? Thanks in advance.
No I didn’t face the rear. The tool for that is pretty expensive. Most bike shops don’t have one. I’ve ran into that problem with cable actuated brakes on frames but haven’t had the problem with hydraulic.
Nice frame and bike, Daryl. Great build! Curious though where you got that (black) front derailleur hanger plate/cover from, if you run 1xspeed drivetrain. Did you just saw/cut the standaard front derailleur hanger of is it a special cover? Thanks for the feedback.
Hi, great video. I have the same frame. Do you have any tips for the internal routing with derelieurs? Mij steering is being pushed to one side. Kant figure it out quite yet.
Is there enough slack in the front cables on this build to remove the drop bars ans pack in a Evoke bike bag?? Anyone know ? I'd like to biild up this frame but fly to Asia each year for gravel events with my bike.
How much did it cost? I am in South Carolina. I am looking at LightCarbon gravel frame and this one and I can't decide which one to get. LightCarbon wants $510 for their LCG071 frame + shipping. Any thoughts?

Nice looking build. I built up the Carbonda 696 a few years ago and it's still going strong. 🚴♀️✨✨
How much are they?

lovely custom paint!
great build
18:18 if your wife doesn't like helping you with holding stuff, i hope at least she's helping you with that ;). Informative video, thanks!

The bell mount is sweet.. got it from shapeways. I hope you like the 505! Thanks

Thanks man!

Thanks! Yeah I just sawed it off, filed it downed and painted it.

Sounds like you have the cable and hose twisted.
Amazing looking bike!!!! What wheels are these? I would love to be able to run a road bike/gravel bike duo with the frame….well that’s the plan!
They’re Reynolds ATR 650B
Is there enough slack in the front cables on this build to remove the drop bars ans pack in a Evoke bike bag?? Anyone know ? I'd like to biild up this frame but fly to Asia each year for gravel events with my bike.
I would say you could have 2 or 3 inches of hose and cable in the frame to allow that.
Can you tell me what color it is from the RAL Classic colors ?
How much did it cost? I am in South Carolina. I am looking at LightCarbon gravel frame and this one and I can't decide which one to get. LightCarbon wants $510 for their LCG071 frame + shipping. Any thoughts?
Two frames, with forks, bars/stems, headsets, seatposts, and axles for about 1800. Of that like 250 was shipping. 70 extra for paint.
Are you using the standard headset that Carbonda offers with the CGB02 bars?
Yes. I think they charge 15 for them.
What is the color code for this paint job. I kinda like it the matte finish!
Thanks! It’s RAL 1005 - Honey yellow
Also, was size frame? Finally was is the frame & fork weight and weight of the final build?
This one is size XS. I didn’t weigh anything but I have a size S that I will be building at some point next week and I’ll weigh everything.
How tall ate you in size xs?
@Daryl pace how the rider in size XS?
5’7”
Do you have link with the custom decals?
Search Etsy for MohrDesignsDecals
What frame number is that OBED bike??
It’s the Boundary
@Daryl pace hoa tall are you on size xs?

Correct. The Obed Boundary
Hi. 650b?? Size M ?
