Workswell Gravel WCB-R-208 & WCB-R-209

[RDY]

Anyone have any experience with these?  They appear to be the same front triangle and chainstays, but with conventional seatstays on the 208 and dropped seatstays on the 209.

Do we know if this is open mould - in which case who else does them - or is it exclusive to them?

Geometry is a little bit more relaxed than the Carbonda 696.  Though they don't appear to have listed geo for the 58 yet.

istn't that basically the CFR696 from Carbonda?

The geometry is clearly based on it, but it's marginally slacker, and layup is clearly significantly different. Especially on the version with dropped seatstays.  It's definitely not the same frame.

Oh yeah the 209. I mean the 208 which is like 696. But the 209 seems to be based on it too
