Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / All-road / Aero-Gravel frame / Size 49-51
« on: August 29, 2023, 01:26:05 PM »
Hi - help me find my next bike frame!
I'm looking to upgrade my existing do-everything all-road bike - right now it's setup for TT/Triathlon as I have Ironman race coming up, but I've also have had this setup with 27.5x2.1" XC MTB tires! It would most often be used on all-road/smooth gravel running 700x40c gravel semi-slicks. My current frame really has great geometry to meet all these needs decently well. So I'm looking for a carbon mold frame that will have similar geometry and tire clearance. Here are the main numbers/attributes I'm seeking and here is the full geo chart https://bikeinsights.com/compare?geometries=5cf66199c0d1b6001756e2e6,, of my current bike:
- 700x40c and 650x2.1" tire clearance (limited mud clearance is OK)
- 70-71 HTA
- 74-75 STA
- 420-425 RC/CS
- 385 Reach
- 530-540 ETT
I do like the design of the 3T Exploro quite a lot, but the slack 72.5STA is a deal breaker. What other all-road / aero-gravel frames do people recommend?
