The 696 has more clearance than the 505. I own the 505 and the workswell equivalent of the 696

I've got an RX805 RD with the following problem. Whenever I shift into 1x1 (small chainring, biggest cog), after a couple seconds it will automatically shift itself into 1x2 (small chainring, second biggest cog). Has…
Thank you! The 505 has less clearance for 47mm, almost as if it were an afterthought. On the other hand I love the paint job on my 505 (black to purple fade). The 146 (not 145 sorry for the error) definitely has some QA…
My 51 CFR505 with 650b 47mm WTB Byways. Earlier this year I built a WCB-R-145 and loved it. I rode most of this year on that bike while abandoning my Cervelo C3. The comfort of 47mm tires made it a joy to ride over the…

Great looking frame! Hope to spot you on the road some time in Vancouver. CyclingClyde wrote: I received my BSA 696 yesterday! Initial impressions are good. My frame is a 58cm and weighs in at 1350 with paint, cable…

I've noticed that some frames in this thread have down tube third bottle mounts by the bottom bracket and some don't. Is this a feature you have to specify in the order?

Forgot to mention, fenders are 63mm wide Velo Orange 700c. The wheels are 650b with 47mm wide tires.

Love it! You gotta try 650b with 47-50mm tires!
Nice bike! I love my bike but for the 11-34 gearing and the 650b 47mm wheels. I think I could go with any chinese carbon frame with the same configuration and be just as happy. I bought some 63mm velo orange fenders and…
I finally got around to totaling up my build cost.
My bike has been built up and I love it for the ride. 650b 47mm Byway tires at 40 PSI provide a very soft, stable ride. I've set them up with tubeless and my rear wheel is still not sealing properly but I'll squirt some…
I run tubeless because I can't tell that they're heavier and they also save me the hassle of changing a tire on a ride.
