Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201

[gloscherrybomb]

Pictures in the first post here show measurements of the clearance.  Smallest is 66mm.  With reasonable clearance (6mm a side?) something like 2.1" should fit comfortably.  2.2" may be stretching it a bit.  It would be good to see what you get in your measurements, though.

BTW, those wheels are awesome.  Oh, and where did you get those bungs?

Thanks. A great service from Peter being able to spec everything as you wish. If there is one thing, I would have liked a wider internal rim width (maybe a 27/28) but they are still tremendous value.

Evidently Tideace really likes your bike - https://tideacebike.com/blogs/news/why-tideacebike-carbon-fiber-bicycle-frame-is-the-best-choice

BTW, if you get a chance to measure that non drive side clearance I'd appreciate it!

Eddy kindly sent me this measurement from CAD for the non drive side clearance.  It's tighter than my CFR696, but it at least *looks* like a crank based PM fits.  Gloss or Osh, if you get a chance to confirm this with a real measurement it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the feedback from Jonny.

INCREDIBLE gravel frame!
If you're reading this, you're probably mid-way through the same process I went through - trying to work out whether or not buying a direct-from-China bike frame, is something you're going to regret - can it really be as good as a "big bike manufacturer?".
Well I've had my NOAH for a month now and so far, so fantastic. I am about 180cm / 74kg and I went for the 54. I am finding the fit as good as any bike I've ever owned. The aero handlebars that Tideace make are brilliant too. I love the flat section on the tops and the drops are the comfiest - and I've tried quite the selection.
Craziest bit - I entered a UK gravel event on 3rd August 2024 and out of 165 riders, the NOAH was the fastest bike by about 15 mins. THE FASTEST. Read that again.
I obviously can't recommend it enough - if you've read this far, you should buy it, it's BRILLIANT.

Nice. I'm racing mine at the British Gravel Champs in 2 weeks time. I'll let you know if it's the bike or the rider

I'm currently seeing this frame and advice from Tideace is 49cm size (1m71). Is that correct ?

How's clearance?  Especially at the rear.  Will a 2.1" fit?  Will a 2.1" fit with an FD?  Thundero 48 and FD?  2.2 race king fit on the front?

I'm considering this in the 54 for a rider I'm sponsoring.  Other option is Liv Devote ... which has better geo and should have better build quality - but I'd have to swap out 80% of the kit to get the right setup for her.

It will depend what they blow up to. These thundero measure 48mm exactly. There is clearance front and rear.
