Re: Carbonda Gravel Carbon frame CFR707
Quote from: gf on March 07, 2024, 07:12:19 AM
Thanks again.
Just to have an idea and compare different frames, around which value of reach/top tube I should stay in order to obtain neutral/comfortable position (not race or aggressive)?
I'm 174, my gravel is a gra02 size 54(medium), saddle height 72.5, 100mm stem and 2,5 cm of headset cover +spacer.
I think 390 reach on the medium 707 is too much for you, you will feel overstreched with more than 70-80 mm stem. With short stem on a dropbar i feel the steering becomes very direct and a bit twitchy.
For fast gravel roads, S sounds better for lower stack (more aero position) longer stem (more planted)  and more seatpost equal more flex and more confort.
But M can do the job too, it will behave more like MTB.

Re: New frame: Longteng RD301-D The frame in the video is clearly not the frame in the brochure. Or are they doing like LC and the LCR017-D, with final product different than pictures on website.

What's the real RD301-D looks like? ::)

Re: XC Marathon Fully with... Drops? Advice? I have briefly tested a fully mtb with a drop bar.
For me the drop bar doesn't allow to use the full potential of the bike and i always felt frustrated not to have a flat bar for more control. I lost the fun of the gravel and the ability of the MTB...
It wasn't a fun machine.

If i was to build a suspended gravel, i will go with max 50mm travel, big rolling tyres and road/gravel geometry.
