Is there somebody who have carbon bike from winspace bike?

[Jakkyspace]

There are very beautiful !!!!

Fully internal cable routing on thewinspace carbon bike T1500. Aerodynamic AND... it just looks cool ！！！！

Hmmm, this is your first post...I smell an advertisement here.

I'm sure you're correct. Looking it up I find: " Our headquarters in Xiamen, China means we're right at the heart of the world's capital of carbon fiber production." China doesn't make bad carbon fiber bikes but it depends highly on the specific company there. And one problem is that on the weekends employees will sneak back into the plant and layup frames that have less material in them and are not safe to ride. So you have to be extremely careful what you are getting. This is why I tend to buy either Taiwanese or American made bikes. Trek is very well made - probably the highest quality construction in the world. I like my Colnago CLX3.0 from Taiwan but I don't know if Colnago makes any of them there anymore and I do not like the Construction methods of the C60 line. Using lugs instead of spreading the load of the fork area over a large space as the top line Treks do or as this Winspace appears to do is not a very good idea.

The attached picture is of a C40 Colnago and the C60 line appears to use a different sort of lug but I would just as soon not make a second try.

Hey there,

I couldn't agree more! The internal cable routing on the Winspace carbon bike T150

While the Winspace T1500 does boast internal cable routing for enhanced aerodynamics, I can't help but notice the lack of mention of its groupset. The components of a bike significantly impact its overall performance, and without that information, it's challenging to make a fair assessment. Let's ensure we consider all relevant factors when discussing high-performance bikes.

 

[SallyJ]

Fair point, but we can't overlook the bike's aesthetics either. The T1500's sleek design, thanks to internal cable routing, adds to its appeal. However, let's not forget the groupset's role in performance. What's your take on this?

 

[KMC]

Indeed, aesthetics matter, but they're merely the icing on the cake. When discussing performance bikes, we can't lose sight of the main ingredients: the groupset and its components. Let's not judge a book by its cover; the T1500's performance is more than skin deep. Let's delve into the nitty-gritty details of its groupset, which truly make it a high-performance machine.

 

[SallyJ]

Intriguing perspective! While groupsets indeed shape performance, let's not underestimate the psychological boost riders get from a sleek bike like the T1500. Studies show aesthetics can impact rider confidence, potentially influencing performance. Thoughts on this angle?

 

[SallyJ]

I see your point, but aesthetics aren't everything. Riders may enjoy the T1500's looks, but a high-quality groupset can make or break a ride experience. Let's not forget that. ‍

 

[KMC]

Absolutely, the allure of a bike's aesthetics can be enticing, but the true measure of a high-performance machine lies within its groupset. Like a well-orchestrated symphony, each component plays a vital role, from the seamless shifts of the derailleur to the tactile response of the brakes. It's the groupset that truly defines the ride experience, transcending the realms of the visual and into the realm of the tactile and visceral.

 

[SallyJ]

I see where you're coming from, but let's not completely dismiss the importance of aesthetics. While it's true that the groupset defines the ride experience, a bike that looks good can also boost a rider's confidence and motivation. It's much like how a well-coordinated cycling kit can make you feel faster and more efficient. However, I do agree that performance should never be compromised for looks. How about striking a balance between the two? + = :speedometer:

I hear you emphasizing aesthetics, and while they do have their appeal, we can't overlook the fact that a bike's performance is largely dictated by its groupset, not its appearance. Sure, a good-looking bike can boost one's confidence, but at the end of the day, it's the components working harmoniously that deliver an unmatched riding experience.

Now, I'm not suggesting we completely disregard aesthetics; instead, I propose that we view them as the cherry on top of a high-performance sundae. The real substance lies beneath the surface – the cranks, derailleurs, brakes, and shifters. These are the elements that truly set superior bikes apart from their competitors.

So, when building or purchasing a high-performance machine, focus on assembling a reliable groupset, and then worry about the colors and design. After all, what good is a beautiful bike if it doesn't deliver the performance you desire? Striking a balance between aesthetics and performance is essential, but remember: performance should always take precedence.
