Great frameset for the price I got it for ($1350). It's quite hard to find good quality gravel bike frames with plenty of tire clearance for a reasonable price. The frame looks amazing. The decals, the carbon bottom bracket shell cover, the finish are gorgeous. The brake and bottom bracket mounting surfaces are faced well and the overall quality control seems to be great. Wolftooth hardware always looks impressive and complements the frame quite well. The paint looks nice, and the finish seems to be quite durable. That said, I would get rid of the flip-chip dropouts as they complicate the frame design, are not UDH-compatible, and can cause issues for the final bike build. Fitting the rear brake caliper is tricky, and in fact the first set of calipers I ordered (Hope Rx4+ in the FM+20 configuration) couldn't be installed without swapping out one of the mounting bolts for a bolt with a different head. Another issue I ran into with the frameset was the fork, with its steerer tube having the inside and outside circles slightly misaligned. This caused issues when installing the fork into the frame, as the edge of the expander plug would stick out over the edge of the steerer tube and interfere with other headset components. In my book these are minor gripes though, as the frame rides well, looks great and I believe it will serve me well for many years to come.

I was looking for a gravel frame that had reasonably nimble geometry, would fit my body, long legs, short torso. Was 2x, would support 2.1 TB's and I could put a 180mm rotor on the front. I found exactly 2 and the Waheela C was one of them and it was on sale!!! I can say that this is the finest bike I have ever owned. In addition to lots of attention to detail (inside routing tubes, etc) it rides amazingly (at least as stiff, better handling and more comfortable than the Warbird it replaces). I could not be happier. Oh, and the copper/black paint is stunning. I get a ton of comments on the bike. And yes.... that is a 2x with 11-50 on the rear. I live in the Rockies! Love it!!!
