Any chinese Aero Gravel frame with bolts for bikepacking?
« on: August 09, 2022, 10:31:22 AM »
I m looking for a bike made not for Gravel but for road and compatible with trips but as I Can see only Gravel frames have bolts for bikepacking. As it will be used 90% for road I d love to have Aero shape.

Build two bikes, or find bags that do not need bolts  ;)

As a fellow bikepacker, I'd strongly recommend going for a gravel bike. Not for the bolts (I only bolt on water bottle cages), but:

- Aero frames make 0 sense for bikepacking. As soon as you strap on bags, you lose whatever small advantage you could have gotten from an aero frame.
- Aero road bikes have a fit that's made for pro riders, not regular people. For long slow rides, you'll appreciate the comfortable fit of a gravel bike.
- When carrying bags, you'll want to fit some bigger tyres anyway, so you have more comfort and better puncture protection. For road bikepacking, I usually go for around 35mm.

Those are Light Carbon frames. Good frames, but there's nothing "Made in Denmark" about them.
I used one for bikepacking last year:

Since I think almost all Guerciottis are catalogue frames these days, if you can find a Chinese seller of the Escape G, it might suit you ... but apparently only 42mm clearance which is a shame.

Anyone know who makes / designs it?
