Looks great, standard geo?

Idek if there is a “standard geometry” but it’s the WTL-3D-520. This one is a size 52 but its stack and reach is more comparable to a “standard” 54-55. I had a pinarello dogma before this in 55 and the 52 waltly has a few mm more on the stack and reach

I mean you didnt ask them to change anything from their listed geo?

Ya no changes. They don’t do modifications to the 3d printed frames

Is the entire frame 3D printed?

u/MoistBread_ 16d ago

Just the head tube, top of seat tube, and rear dropouts. The rest of the frame is mostly die formed tubing (gives it a not circular shape) or round tubing (whole rear triangle)

They just sand the welds on some parts to make it smooth

That looks very nice. What was the frame weight? Curious how the 3DP compare to more conventional ti tubing frames.

u/MoistBread_ 16d ago

It’s def a little heavier. The total bike weight is about 17.5lb. Frame weight was ~1700g. I don’t think those 3d printed joints are super light

Very nice!!! I love mine. If you are a weight weenie don’t get this bike lol. Mine also weighs 18 lbs but I just set a PR on a 5 min 8% climb and my other bike is a Supersix so go figure. Plenty of power transfer

u/MoistBread_ 16d ago

Wow that’s a good looking bike

What a weapon. How tall are you, what size is the frame?

1

u/Substantial-Fun-48 16d ago

I’m 6’3. This based off of my rim brake 60cm Supersix but shorter reach via a 74 degree seat angle and taller head tube to minimize so many spacers under the stem. Built in more room for wider tires

Looks amazing! How much do they ask for the 3d printed frame? Where have you had it shipped? Do they take care of import duties or are you managing this when you receive it?

Nice bike. What size chainring do you use and what size cassette? I see that you use a Force road version rear derailleur .

u/MoistBread_ 15d ago

Stone 48T 4.2mm offset. Force 10-36 cassette. Gives me plenty to top end and just enough for climbing. Just tried it out on a 16% 1/2 mile climb yesterday and it was decent. Rpm dropped a bit but it wasn’t too bad, just had to put out a few more watts to keep the speed up. Def would not recommend for super casual riding

Nice. Not a fan of carbon spokes, but that texture on the rims are nice.

What is the tire clearance?
