You did read the title of the thread, yeah?
No I did not!  ;D
I must proclaim my dumbness, I had two tabs open and I thought I was reading the other thread. That explains everything!

Hey ! I am quite interested in the carbon speed frame, however I am unsure of which size to pick between the 56 and 58.  Would it be possible for someone to help me ? I have my bike fit report . Thanks !

My advice for sizing: 
- Try to approximate the stack/ reach of your current bike. If you compare it with your road bike, a cm higher stack is still fine.
-  For tall persons, or people with long leg length: Check if the seatpost is not extended to much with your riding height.
- If still in between 2 sizes, I prefer the smaller size.

I am pulling the trigger on a frame 56 with a 100mm stem/360mm wide handlebar

Excellent advice.
I have a hope until someone can prove otherwise.

I've received my 56 (without paint) the other day...
Neatly packed, everything looks really good as far as I could tell so far, but I haven't been able to take an in depth look since I'm injured right now...

Anything you'd like to know or see about it?

Hi mate, im also in contact with Peter, great so far, but between the 56 and 58 (which should be produced in a few months).

What height are you and usual bike size etc

Hope you get better soon, at least you have something to build now while you wait for your return.

Yes, please :) some fotos would be great, as well as weights for frame, fork, seatpost and handlebars. Super interesting!!!

afaik, that makes you the 1st owner of a gran turismo frame on this forum, congrats! Do keep us posted, and consider creating a thread. i expect the frame to be popular, although the price may be a bit steep. I'm definitely considering buying one later in the year.

But I'm afraid it won't be a quick build...

What kind of custom paint is available for those carbon speed frames? I scoured the net but there's not much info available

They made me the wilier Astana paint for their gravel bike.

Is the frame on their website yet / Does the frame have a model number ?

Is there any current existing design for reference? I would be interested to make a new frameset.
Please Pinorello X!! :)

Hi everybody

Looking for frame recommendations. I've searched but maybe missed frames.
Love the looks of an aero frame with dropped seat stays, deep down tube and integrated routing with one-piece handlebar/stem. I don't mind the hassle of building/servicing.
However i'm not so flexibel so looking for above attributes in combination with short reach/high stack. Body stats: 186cm, 88cm inseam.
I've been trying on a borrowed bike with 590mm top tube, 401mm reach, 590mm stack, 15mm stemspacer and 80mm stem. Not perfect fit but doable, a bit shorter reach would be ideal if possible.

Any other options?
