Winspace T1600 – First Look and Mechanical Teardown

The Winspace T1600 is a carbon aero frameset that offers serious engineering quality at a price that makes most Western brands look absurd. This review takes a detailed look at the frame from an actual engineering standpoint, not the usual vague ā€œride feelā€ commentary from influencers and shop mechanics. With clean internal routing, tight manufacturing tolerances, and consistent carbon layup, the T1600 delivers performance without the marketing fluff. I have been riding the frame extensively with no issues to report so far. Everything fits, everything works, and nothing creaks. It is designed by people who understand structural mechanics, not branding. Wind tunnel test results will be covered in the next video. If you are tired of being sold Ā£4,000 frames based on Tour de France photos and buzzwords, the T1600 might be the reality check you need. Especially if you’re still taking advice from someone trying to crowdfund a bike shop refit.

The debate over Chinese-made bicycles is complex, with divided opinions on quality and reliability. During my visit to Hall 9 at a recent bike expo, I gained valuable insights into the manufacturing process, particularly through a conversation with Lightcarbon. Their transparency about quality control and manufacturing standards highlighted the value that Chinese frames can offer when paired with rigorous oversight. This experience reinforced the importance of understanding the manufacturing process, emphasizing that informed choices lead to better cycling investments.

An almost brand new and unused steel frame made by the British bike brand Cotic arrived for a frame inspection and new bottom bracket. The frame was found to be geometrically accurate but there was an alarming amount of corrosion in a frame that the manufacturer claims is coated to prevent it happening.

$7K Legend by Bertoletti: Appalling Bespoke Handmade bike frame

This bike frame was personally delivered to Hambini HQ by the purchaser who lived in Boston, MA, USA. He had flown to Italy to pick up his dream bike frame and then onto Manchester to get a Hambini bottom bracket custom fitted to his bike frame.

What followed was quite possibly one of the worst pieces of manufacturing the bike industry has seen and an attitude towards public relations that Bertoletti probably regrets.
