Help me choose a frame..

[iheartoregon]

A question to all of you Chinese carbon frame masters. This is what I'm looking for.. does it exist?

 HT 29er Med size (17-18) To be used as XC Race bike
 Would like matt black with a simple clean frame design.

 With geometry close to my current frame:
 Seat Tube Length, Center to Top 445mm
 Top Tube Length (Horizontal) 603mm
 Top Tube Length (Actual) 574mm
 Chainstay Length 442mm
 Bottom Bracket Drop 63.5mm
 Bottom Bracket Height 308mm
 Head Tube Length 100mm
 Head Tube Angle 71.5°
 Seat Tube Angle (Actual) 71°
 Seat Tube Angle (Effective) 73°
 Wheel Base 1085mm
 Reach 412mm
 Standover Height 796mm


 Works with:
 100mm tapered fork
 34.9mm clamp front derailleur (top pull)
 27.2 mm seat post
 Two bottle cage mounts
 135 or 142 rear axle
 And I'm open to figuring out what the best BB would be.

 Ideas?

May I ask what frame you pulled those dimensions from, that could help us understand what Chinese carbon frame is most like.

When shopping for a Chiner frame, I created a spreadsheet with a chart of all the frames I was interested in.  It will not help you since all my data is for Large size frames.  However, I would suggest you do a little homework and create something similar for what you are looking for.

That's really cool you made the sheet.  I took screenshots of 6 major brands and keep referencing back to them....but yours is the ultimate cheat-sheet!

I've compiled most of the hardtail data I could find into a blog post some time back:

I'm also looking for a frame close to the original posting in this thread.  Something in a 142 rear, with a steeper head tube angle of 71+, and a short chainstay of 440-.  The closest thing I can find to it is:

or

Orion 29er

(This one has it but only comes in a 135 rear)

Does anyone know of a frame with the geo I'm looking for??

I've seen your frame blog recently.  Thanks for creating that.  I wish I would have rolled up on it sooner.

After many emails to Carbonality, I finally got the detailed schematics for the Orion 29er if you want to add them to your blog.  Attached below...

The standover height is super tall for these frames.  Maybe Jonxmac can confirm this...
