Enve's own one piece bar and stem would work on the Melee, which at the moment they only they sell to frame builders and spec on their own Custom Road frame.

It would be odd if a Melee customer wouldn't be allowed to buy it, but I'm not sure how you'd go about getting hold of one - especially if you're outside the US and not dealing with Enve directly.

Yep, they are holding their line on no 1-piece bars for anyone else...

Wonder if Moots will be able to put it on their new CRD. The one piece is interesting in that it gives 5mm increments for the stem length.

I asked if that would be possible and it's not for the Melee in Europe.
I really like the wider drops and would love to see a one piece in size 380/420 or so but hard to find.

Man that sucks. The Deda Alanera fits most things, and I'm pretty sure it's measured O-O so the 40 is really a 38 and the 42 a 40 which then gives you lots of stem length options. Not much (or possibly any, I can't remember) flare though.

Another new Melee owner with slipping seatpost. I used carbon paste and torqued to 9nm to hedge my bet, still slipped. Anybody have any suggestions other than more torque?

Has anyone built one of these frames with mechanical 2X?

Nope, mechanical Shimano drivetrains will work.

Several local shops have Melee "modules" available. Doesn't seem to be generating as much interest around here as ENVE would have liked.

I just don't have the money... This is the bike I'd get if I had it. For the people that just want 1 bike this is it. I don't have the money or space for several bikes. Besides, I don't ride outside as much to justify the investment on several bikes. But this bike seems to have the perfect combination of being agile/lightweight and flexible enough to be used with 28c tires or 36c tires. I can't have two bikes but I can more easily get two set of wheels and different pedals for different terrain.
