Had it confirmed that there will be a 61, but no geo yet.  They're going to need to boost the stack a shitload.  Their suggested sizing chart currently suggests that people up to 198cm can ride the 59.  Maybe if their arms are longer than their legs?

 :o  Well they did the absolute opposite.  They increased the reach massively and the stack a bit for the 61 ... in contrast to practically every other big bike.  160mm HT on a 61 ST  :o

Relatively low reach for every size except the biggest, which has BIG reach.

Wild guess, but I don't think that geo is going to be a winner for them  8)

Re: Elves Falath EVO 2023 I almost suspect it's a mixup.  Someone gave the spec to factory and reversed the increase in TT vs HT for the 61 vs 59.  So now they have a clown car mold for the 61.

It's practically inexplicable otherwise, because people wanting that long a seat tube with that little stack almost don't exist, and the geo is completely different to every other size in the range.  Aside from the high reach, low stack, and obviously long ST, the Front Center is really long - similar to a lot of gravel bikes.

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc! Found a couple of interesting flex seatposts, which I don't recall being posted about before.

One appears to be an original design, and looks interesting and is very light.  It appears to be a distinct brand - VFV - Voice For Victory, which I can't find any info on.  Maybe the oracle (StiffWeenies) knows?

The other is an Ergon/Canyon like construction.

I might get one, waiting for what Cam Nicholls has to say about it (even if it's kinda sponsored).
I'm 1m98 (6"6) and that HT is really small lmao but I'm looking for a really aero agressive and stiff race bike and man it looks sick af

You sure you're going to be able to ride that at race power (or at all)?

Agreed with others, please send some pics :)

Also how does it hold speed without pedaling? I know that even high end frames have problem that they don't hold speed as good as aluminium frames.


I also found image of the complete bike on their instagram

Are you trolling or serious?

Re: Groupset News It should get cheaper once they start being mass produced.  Either way, it's sorely needed competition.

Campag should reveal some outrageous wheel and gruppo pricing by the looks of it this week.

Re: FSA ACR Spacer to normal stem adapter?
Quote from: poyo on March 13, 2023, 07:05:58 AM
You can buy a FSA headset NO.69 SRS.
So you can use any stem with round spacers.



Thanks, but I'm aware of it (and a bunch of others).  I'm specifically looking to integrate the cables directly into the spacer stack below the stem.  Neater re: cabling, and thin round spacers IMO look awful with 1.5" headtubes.

In terms of replacing the whole headset and spacer stack, Token C-Box would probably work well.  But it's still not available about 18 months after launch ...

Re: Groupset News Looks like one to try in 6-12 months once they've worked out the kinks - and probably reduced price.

Surprising to hear Cade praising the brakes.

Here the presentation video of the L-twoo elec

Call me crazy, but I think they'd have better spent their cringe inducing CGI animé short budget on further testing and prototyping, so the first iterations work better ...

Re: Groupset News Taiwan's TRP (/ Tektro) releases new EVO 7sp DH and 12sp MTB groupsets.

https://bikerumor.com/trp-evo-mountain-bike-drivetrains-hit-the-trails/

Looks really well designed.  If I wanted mechanical MTB 12sp, I'd give it a try over Shimano.

SRAM's new stuff looks batshit, frankly, and the pricing on XX SL is certainly going to be batshit crazy ... they've increased PM crankset pricing by 50%.
