Re: Frame advice - hardtail with a 40T (or more) chainring
I was looking at the same thing, and eventually put an order in for the Airwolf YFM026. The frame will hopefully arrive by the end of January. I'm building a beach racing bike/gravel bike based on a MTB frame. So my needs were:
It looks like a company from the Netherlands, which specializes in beach racing bikes, resells the Airwolf YFM026 as their race bikes. They have loads of pictures of this frame on their Instagram. All these bikes have 40+ chainrings. https://www.instagram.com/stormbikesnl/ I think they chose this frame specifically because of the dropped chainstays, which allows for this bigger chainring while still having a semi-normal chainline. I'm not 100% certain it's the exact same frame, but the geometry looks spot on, aswell as the general look of the frame. December 12, 2023, 03:28:59 AM |

Re: Frame advice - hardtail with a 40T (or more) chainring
Hi Aradell and Andrerav, So I’m not the only one that found out these frames were super similar Keep us posted when your frame arrives! I might also do a build thread of my bike when most of the components are in. It’s also my first build! Since you are mainly running smaller width tires, another option would be a gravel bike with tire clearance for 50C tires, and running flat bars on it. These gravel frames usually have sleeker lines, and can surely accommodate a big chainring up front. As an example, the LCG073-D is offered with both a gravel bar and flat bar option (see thread). I’m sure there are other frames like this. https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,4413.0.html December 13, 2023, 03:01:48 AM |
