  1. This bike is almost perfect. It was very easy to assemble. https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkx2YFGCCEkXKgqCOH-7vlvgb4L4hg4IrXI The fit was great as well. I am 5'11" and 160 lbs with a longer torso and rather shorter legs, and 55cm is a perfect fit. Every component seems to be pretty decent and durable except the rear wheel. It was a bit lob-sided and also the freewheel component is either missing a ball bearing or under lubricated, which prevents the wheel from rotating freely. Because of that, it requires more pedaling and also climbing hills a lot harder than expected. Other than the back wheel, I like everything else about it. Affordable and well-built.** UPDATE **It turns out the sound was caused by the tight chain tension. Once I loosen it up by moving the backwheel a tad bit closer to the crankset, the sound went away.

  2. What chain has been fitted please? Looks like a KMC X9SL? I'm building an Alcatraz frame (1st DJ bike build for me) and was wondering what chain I would require with a NW chainring similiar to Matt's in the vid. Thanks.
