Takeaways
Price at publication0:13The frame cost £880 and the whole build about US$4,000, of which US$1,200 was the Winspace wheels.
Build note1:33Routing four lines on each side through the integrated carbon bar is a challenge.
Ride impression3:15It feels fast, light and responsive but a little more forgiving and less twitchy than a full race frame; it climbs well and feels planted on descents.
Finish and faults9:41The seatpost cover flaps and keeps coming loose, and the seatpost slipped once until he fitted the supplied adhesive grip strip inside the seat tube; otherwise it has been reliable.

Takeaways
Support1:40A UK after-sales office handles custom builds and warranty for the UK and Europe, and the frameset carries a five-year warranty.
Repeats a maker claim2:04Elves describes the second generation as a lightweight climbing bike with some aero: a claimed 40 s saving over 40 km at 40 km/h and more head-tube stiffness than the first generation.
Price at publication2:43The claimed frame weight is 950 g for size 56; the UK frameset price was £858, or £4,000 for the Ultegra Di2 complete build shown, with 8–10 week delivery from China.
Fit check4:46It is spaced for up to 30 mm tires front and rear and comes with 28 mm, uses a BB386 press-fit bottom bracket with ceramic bearings, and has a short head tube for a low position.
Measured6:28The size-56 Ultegra Di2 showcase build weighed 7.6 kg without pedals.

Takeaways
Build note5:35The seatpost stopped short on an internal safety ridge; Elves said sizes 47–53 get a 350 mm post and 56–59 a 400 mm post, so his 400 mm post had to be cut. Only a hint of overspray was found on the fork crown race.
Measured6:43The PF386 shell bores measured on the 46 mm target and headset seats 52.1–52.3 mm with snug, play-free bearing fits; the chainstay is marked with a 100 kg maximum rider weight.
Fit check8:15Elves rates 30 mm tires; a 32 mm tire on a carbon rim spun but left minimal room under the rear, while a 28 mm GP5000 had comfortable clearance, so he recommends 28 mm.
Measured11:11Early UK sample, size 50: frame 1,000 g against an 870 g unpainted size-47 claim; fork 417 g (430 g claimed), seatpost 236 g (215 g claimed), PF386 bottom bracket 117 g, thru-axles 77 g.
Price at publication11:55Expected price about £800 (about US$1,018) in August 2023 for the frameset with a five-year warranty card.
