Decided to do a 1X11 build with SRAM Rival components throughout. It’s got Chinese Superteam decal-less wheels with a Fizi:k Arione saddle. The yellow bar tape matches my old speed plays and yellow carbon brake pads
edit: oh and the gearing is a 44t chainring with a 11-42 cassette (my neighborhood is very hilly).

Anyone remember this old thread and when there was a bit of a halabaloo about Flyte frames going really cheap? I never did build one and found my unbuilt frame in storage still looking brand new!

I ended up giving it to a friend and local guy (Para cyclist on the US team for years) when he wrecked his and needed a frame ASAP. even he hated it and ditched it within a coupe of months.
I hope you enjoy yours. Could be fun to go back and ride that time machine.

If you want to improve the ride on that thing, you could trim 2" off that seat tube for a start, and maybe throw in a shim and run a skinny carbon post.

Carbon wheels and a carbon fork help with the harshness. I feel some bumps but I usually ride the bumps standing.
