IMO this could be an excellent high tire clearance gravel frame with the addition of an FD mount and either a 100mm suspension fork or rigid alternative.  Reach isn't crazy long, head tube is relatively slack but not too far gone for rolling hardpack or tarmac, and nice steep STA (little steeper than most gravel frames) for the lung bursters.  Seat tube is just long enough.  It's also very light and generally speaking OG Evkin stuff is good quality and customer service also decent.

Oh and the custom paint jobs (which they usually don't show on AliExpress) look good.

They currently don't do one with an FD mount, but I asked them about one with compatibility for GRX 46/30 or similar, and they said they're considering it.  Potentially it would be better if they switched to PF30 or BSA73 though, as BB92 might cause crankset compatibility issues (too wide) as it does on the Salsa Cutthroat which is nominally GRX 2x compatible but can run a sum total of one RaceFace crankset for the purpose, which is heavy as balls, not very good and has poor quality proprietary BBs.

Hoping it happens.  It was a real disappointment when the Carbonda / Fly Bike 1306 lost its FD mount.  There are a bunch of Ti and steel monster-gravel bikes, but they tend to be very heavy if steel, and heavy and very expensive if Ti.

Surely someone must make one. 

I'll be getting a gravel bike that comes with an ACR headset and SMR stem stock.   I'll be changing the stem to a Redshift one.   Whilst I could file the 2 locator pins off the ACR to SMR adapter that will be on the bike, it will leave a gaping hole at the front of the spacer stack.

Surely someone has made an ACR spacer to normal stem semi-integrated spacer?  I just can't find it.

Dream is an Aeroghaiai .... but they're €350 and unobtainium currently.

The only Chinese aero gravel bar that I've seen is one with an integrated stem.  The new LightCarbon HBR08, which just came on the market. Minimum is 90mm stem and I've also just bought an 80mm stem. Reach and drop of the bar are relatively high by modern standards (82 /125).  Still, better than anything else I'm aware of.

Loads of other 3T style bars on the market, but nothing like the Aeroghaiai or even the Superghaiai.

Why aero on gravel? Because deep, flat parts at 3 and 6 o'clock are way more comfortable if you have big hands.  After fitting the aero bullhorns on my track / city bike, I now hate skinny circular drop bars .... they feel uncomfortable and strange   

P.S. I gave up on the aerowave style bars due to being unsure about quality, and also some flare may be wise if I'm to travel with the bike - potentially to somewhere more gnarly and rolling than the Amsterdam area 

I'd like to get a pair of the Aerowave style riser drop bars.

However from what I see on AliExpress, the quality of the popular 'EC90' branded ones is appalling. Material, at least at bar ends, is of very unneven thickness, and there's pitting and micro perforations all over them. Other brands have less feedback though.

Various people on WW and RG have posted that they're happy with ones they bought, so I can only assume they're not all like this.

Anybody have experience?

Ali not turning up much. XACD will probably make one, but at 144BCD it'll likely be considered custom and cost ~$300.  At which point I might as well just order Royce.

Anybody know of some nice 7xxx, 2xxx aluminium, or titanium cranks that are pret a porter?  CN or TW.

There are a few 130 options, but bugger all at the track size.  And of course we have Fovno / Dexas for MTB.

Anyone tried the Zero copies with titanium spindle and cleats for around €70/$80?

Can't find any reviews.

Always thought Bebops were way better, but only got 2 pairs of cleats left.

Doing a bar upgrade from track drops to bullhorns on my single speed.

There's lots of brand choice on AliExpress, though it looks like 90% might be using identical moulds, and maybe the same OEMs.

Anyone know of a reputable firm offering then direct?  I thought Light might, but they said they don't yet.

If not, what about the Ali brands?  No Name, RXL, TOSEEK, OG-Evkin, and a bunch of others.
