Anyone know of a more XC oriented frame like this? It doesn’t look like they make one or at least on the Ali store you got yours from

Has anyone bite the bullet and got a CY5/6? Looking at them pretty seriously. Open to any input

I am 178 cms you think 54 is too big? It looks like I’m on the border

Pardon the mess. I'm currently still building my GR201, while simultaneously stripping down old bike to be sold off. The build is almost finished. Just have bleed the brakes and mount my gravel wheels/tires.

For anyone thinking about getting this frame, please be extremely cautious with your sizing consideration. I mounted road wheels to the frame to offer a visual comparison against my road bikes.

Left: GR201 (172.5 cranks, size 54, 110mm stem)
Middle: Polygon Helios (172.5 cranks, size 56, front end set up more for endurance, 140mm stem)
Right: Tarmac SL8 (170 cranks, size 56, 140mm stem, raised saddle and handlebars to compensate shorter cranks.)

As you can see even with 15mm of spacers the GR201 is only barely even at the front end. The shallower drops will compensate. Also too the bottom bracket drop on this frame is much deeper/than a standard road bike by at least 10mm. Is in reality the saddle to bar drop isn't as extreme.

What bar and stem are you running ?

Do you have the contact info? Did you order one?

I do belive this was a thing with a guy from ,,gravel championships in Belgium,, . He specyficly mentioned Alibaba not Aliexpress. Did some reserch about this frame and found out about Mondince. At first I wanted to order from Tideace but over 900 Euro for a frame with just white paint was bit too much since my goal was 2000 Euro max. Few e-mails and I knew full price with custom paint job and without one. (Here I deleted most of my reply since I realised that I have no clue if they want to sell this frame this way and just did one time thing. I do really hope they ain't gonna be mad at me for posting this :-X )

In addition this is who buys/produces frames in their factory ,,We have prodived OEM service for DUCATI, KHS, RIBBLE, ARGON18, CUBE and other bike brands all over the world. ,,

I am looking at picking one of these up for my wife on the 11/11 sale. Is the eps moulded frame worth the extra money? Has someone had both versions ?

What wheels are you going to run with it?

What is everyone using for their Varia mount on this frame. The Garmin mount is too small for the seat tube.

The seat post fell down but it’s a good height with it all the way down. Will this go through the frame if I leave like this? I had it cut before assembling
