carbonazza:
@whitecitadel, Thanks for sharing the links!
The CFR505 is not the same as Peter's frame, the geometry shows an insteresting higher stack, shorter reach, and a longer headtube.

Sitar_Ned:
thanks for filling me in tripledot and carbonazza. It's interesting to watch how the bike types segment into new categories based on rider needs. A bit confusing, but interesting.

SportingGoods:
Hey Sitar_Ned, just check this out! GCN shows Road vs. Gravel

Always fun to watch their video's :)

I would say: gravelbike with 2x11 (50/34, 11-28), that's what I'll go for.

I am in the market for the same type of frame, I have so far found there seem to be three models available.
No1
CFR505 - http://www.carbonda.com/road/gravel/cfr505.html
(same as frame XM/Peter plan to stock it looks?)
Not keen on BB86 personally, would want BSA. Is the seat post not standard as it comes with frame?

No2
Ican AC388 - http://www.icanbikes.com/html/Cross_Country/336.html#bk_desc_tab
Again BB86 - but I emailed to ask if it comes in BSA. 100x12mm front axle.

No3
Workswell WCB-C-112 - http://www.workswellbikes.com/web/view/203.html
Miraclebikes CX028 - http://www.miraclebikes.com/products/path0143/path0163/FirstLook2017cyclocrossbikeslatestflatmountcarbonC30012334/
These look identical, 100x15mm axle - not a problem but road frames seem to be going 12mm.

I have only just started looking, I have heard of all of the above except carbonda, will have to research the others for quality I guess.

Has anyone seen any other variants? I think the Chinese Carbon frames are only just waking up to these with flat mount brakes.

Why not going for one these frames?

CS-286 - http://xmcarbonspeed.com/Productinfo.asp?f=1377
- not flat mount
Pro:
- front: 100x15mm, rear: 142x12mm
- BSA (and more)

CS- 065 - http://xmcarbonspeed.com/Productinfo.asp?f=1480
- Flat mount
Pro:
- BSA
Cons (is it ?):
- front: 100x12mm (harder to find any nice front wheels, not really sure about this, I'm into mtb wheels)
