And so it begins, again!

New job, new bike. That's my motto.

I recently swapped jobs to work for the guys who built most of my bikes over the last decade, DeAnima. As both of my DeAnima frames are off the road, with one being resprayed and the other repaired, I felt an itch to get another. I have a road bike with rim brakes and a gravel bike, so disc road seemed the only option.

DeAnima AMG+ bare uncut tubeset weighing in at 1028g. Once it's cut I'll update you. Tube designs are unique to us, with construction being tube to tube.

Frame spec is as follows

• 73° STA
  530mm seat tube
  540mm top tube
  145mm head tube
  410mm chainstays
  27.2mm seatpost
  Clearance for 30C tyres

Build will be as follows

• Dura Ace 9270 groupset
  Mavic Cosmic SLR 32
  Veloflex Corsa EVO TLR Gum Sidewall 28C
  Cinelli Dinamo Stem
  Cinelli Neos Carbon Bars
  Cambium C13 Saddle

Paint will be a long conversation as options are endless! Stay tuned

Very nice! I was considering a DeAnima recently, although I opted not to go custom carbon in the end (this time). Looking forward to seeing how this build unfolds :)

Take off 5mm from headtube and we have almost similar frame geometry!
Looking forward to it!

Never heard of DeAnima before, looks interesting

Sorry Micky, cant do that. I'd have too many spacers!!

Sorry, forgot to add the lol emoji in my last reply. Is that a zero rise stem?

No, it's a Cinelli Dinamo 120/6º with a single 5mm spacer below.

Stage 1 complete.

Main frame tubes have been mitred & tacked.

Next step is to align & tack seat stays & then wrap the joints.

Alignment & tyre clearance checked

Into the oven she goes

This is very very cool! I have been thinking about building a carbon frame a home with premade tubes and just copying my current bike frame. I wonder if there are oval tubes available to buy

Joints wrapped

[ultimobici]

Joints all resined and rubbed down. Next stop, ports for hoses & cables.
