If I were buying a new bike, it would be THIS one (Winspace T1550 Review)

Wow. A Winspace intro video........ No one else is doing this! They must have really reached out to a lot of you guys.

3200 + 1800 for ui2 + 100 for tires+ 140 for saddle+ 300 for the build= 5540 which happens to be a few pennies more than a supersix evo with the same drivetrain and reserve wheels. I know which one I'm buying

Winspace need a new logo, preferably a new name too. To me, that font and that name are just super ugly. TO ME.

any chance you have the weight of the frame including fork and seatpost? the website claims a 880gr for the unpainted frame but cannot find a reliable info on the full painted set

Of course you would. You're being sponsored.

How tall is Jeff`?

In the Chinese domestic market, the most popular bikes are under 2800 dollars. Those are the entry level carbon race bike market and are good enough for most of the riders. I don’t think the Chinese brands give a good price. The western brands high-end bikes are just way too expensive. Definitely not worth the money. You pay most of your money for the brands not the actual bikes.

Love the chairs!

Why is it always noted that a bike is good for a Chinese bike as if the majority of all high end bike frames are manufactured in China and Taiwan . China and Taiwan can legit manufacture anything as good as or better with as high end materials one could need or want then any other country globally.

Ugly is the logo!!!

what bike computer is that?

It's not just the carbon spokes, it's the ceramic bearings that worry me a bit.

Carbon spokes are just marketing, unfortunately. People tend to be attracted towards carbon without putting a second thought and that is bad.

@NorCalCycling - Hi Jeff, the bike looks like an interesting option especially considering the price. I would like to see a longer term evaluation of the bike, say, after racing for a season (Feb/Mar thru Sept/Oct) because of the press fit BB. I've had real issues in the past with the carbon cups deforming due to strain over time. I've found threaded to offer better build quality and durability over time.

Im glad you are highlighting winspace, ive bought 3 sets of wheels and they have all been great. If you are worried about the carbon spokes, i hit another rider that drifted into me over a two way lane and our combine speed wheel on wheel was 50-60km/hr. Two spokes popped off, none broke, wheel had a small crack, and was still round. I broke my collar bone. These wheels are so strong! If you want, ask winspace to send extra spokes, they have good service and im sure wouldn't charge you much.

I agree the Winspace provides great stiffnesses resulting in good power transfer but their bikes will beat you up during an hour plus ride.

Customer service and build quality is definitely a ugly from my experience. My mechanic found that my T1500 headset had loosened and started rubbing on my steerer tube, which was visibly getting worn through and told me this needed to be warrantied. I contacted Winspace who told me not to worry about it. I sent them a photo showing of the damage, damage that would obviously result it in the steering tube breaking in half. They said it's not damaged (despite there being clear damage) and to not worry about it. This bike is sitting on my trainer, and I still have carbon shaving falling off the front from where the steerer tube is being worn through.

Ya can buy a Vitus ZX-1 EVO for the same price………

The same factories build "branded" as well Chinese frames, so... They steal technology, some of the design features, and sell it for much lower price.
Also the feel of stiffness comes also from shown carbon spokes.

The brands names and wordmarks need a shitload of help.

Did I miss the part where you mention it is super heavy?

Winspace does have local distributors in the states. I purchased mine through a shop and get full support from them.

The Ugly? The name Winspace is god awful. What the hell is that anyway?

I just ordered the same winspace frame after Christmas. Was a crazy deal. $905 shipped plus bars ($290 value) for free. I couldn’t pass it up. I’m excited.

As a taller rider (6'4"/193cm), I'm always concerned about the geometry. Is the bike going to be tall/long enough for me? For many of the Chinese frames I've seen, the answer tends to be, "Not quite". Either that or I would end up having to add a LONNG stem to balance the shortness of the top tube. I know their geometry chart says their largest size should fit, but I'm a bit leery. Can you speak to this?

Depending on where you are (geographically, shipping fees may be a bitch) a bike I would say that rivals the Winspace is the S1neo 699D, also a taiwan manufactured frame from a european company. So many good options out there right now without the horrible price tags of major bike brands. I hope this trend continues on and cycling/bike racing can become more accessible to many more riders.

Cool looking bike but the Winspace logo is hella cringe and ugly. 'Winspace' sounds like a name that a 10 yr old came out with.

that's cute

Winspace had a massive exodus of its creators and engineers. Company is not the same anymore

I went for a Yoeleo R-12 with Elite Drive 50/65 wheels ($5000 with Ultegra Di2). It is a little more laid back than a full on race bike. I don't race.

What size frame is it and how tall are you?

Perfect crit pig, no doubt!

It'd be cool to see jeff and patrick lino ride and review the same bike at the same time.

bro used the bike for a week lol

Pretty good review but of course there's a lot more to frame quality than feel and external looks of a review-ready single frame No mention of carbon layup, inspection, etc.  
That said, I don't see the lack of dealer support being bad. Most bike issues one will encounter are with setup and components, or fit.  
Any LBS is equipped to look at any bike in those regards.  
A frame issue, voids, breakage or poor BB tolerances, etc. will require return to mfgr and/or a lawyer - no matter who made the frame. 
And fwiw, judging by what I've seen of their frames and company response to issues presented to them, Cervelo's Pon Holdings certainly don't qualify for a "Good" category on that issue Lol!

Loved the insight

So sad not to see a discount code from jeff
hahaha

Since Winspace is watching, please build your frames in a 61cm seat tube equivalent size, 58 cm is just a little too small. Thanks

No uglies???? that huge WINSPACE logo is ugly AF. As for the frame, IMO the price is too high. Should be closer to $1,000... But in total, $4,500 is a pretty low price if you want SRAM Red.

If I wanted to race crits, I'd do it on the TCR I already own, which I bought new this year for $3,200. (With 105 mechanical, disc brake, and good carbon wheels). Giant is the most prevalent world-wide brand. I bought this TCR new in a country with limited availability of bikes and parts -- and then went to a DIFFERENT store in the same city and bought a new rear-der hanger. Can't do either of those with a Winspace.

Carbon spokes are good now.

3000 for rigid road bike...

will you have chance to compare T1550 with S5?
thank you

Hit up George Ciordas in the Central Valley (Fresno area) He's the local Winspace rep (as well as Lactigo and Bont shoes)

The ugly : it’s a shit bike to sprint on. The bike wobbles on its own which is very tricky to handle when you put on 1000+ power. My friend had a sprint crash last Sunday on a race and he was riding this bike.

Yes the normal wear on the wheels takes some prep, one can't get replacements parts (bearings,spokes) immediately, so maintain a reserve.

find the printed name is a typo? Winsprace? Winspace? 🌝

I appreciate you too

can you make a video on elves brand bike?
