Title: Advice on aero frame for tall rider 6’4 / 193cm
Post by: Guffa88 on July 18, 2022, 05:18:56 PM
Hi all,

I’m new to this forum but very happy to be part of it! As the title suggests I’m looking for advice on an aero road frame but I have issues finding a good frame that works for my length 6’4 / 193cm (inseam 93cm). The prerequisites and wishes are as follow:

-I have a full Shimano 105 r7020 group set, hydraulic disc brakes, 11 speed 50-34 11-32
-unpainted frame, budget max 600USD excl. shipping
-preferably internal routing
-28mm wheel clearance (aim to go for 28mm tubeless)

Really appreciate if you have any suggestions!

From personal experience, TT-X21 / vb099 size 56 or 58 with or without the zero offset seat post depending on your current bike size / setup.
This is assuming these dealers will take quality control seriously.

ICAN triaero A9 has a long user thread on this forum and the frame looks good and stable in the large size range.

Other notable mentions i.e. frames I don't mind to try but no user reviews yet on this forum:
- ICAN A22
- SEKA Exceed
- Tantan TT-X34
- Lexon  Mission aero frame (the white and black aero frame).

Happy hunting!

ICAN A40 (https://www.icanbikes.com/product/carbon-road-disc-brake-racing-bike-a40/)? it's the same frame as the Cinelli Pressure (https://road.cc/content/feature/bike-bedtime-baroncinis-rainbow-cinelli-pressure-288279), Engine11 Mach1, Atom 6 Strada, Rollingstone Hider & Raceline Hider

A major con is that it appears to be a true ACR frame where the front fork hose (https://bikerumor.com/fsa-cockpit-integration-expands-on-off-road-plus-more-kfx-for-mountain-bikes/) is routed up and out of the steerer rather than at the headset. This means that you'll be very limited in cockpit choices.
