Frame req? (Aero, dropped SS, high stack, short reach)

[TravellerTravis]

Any opinion on choosing between the Lightcarbon LCR018-D and XM carbon speed frameset from this thread?

Former is cheaper and I like the look of the handlebars but I'd prefer the slightly higher stack of the latter. Anything else I should keep in mind?

Good question, i have the same question at the back of my mind. 38C vs 35C feels important. The 38C on the LT 301 has been scaring me off, their down tube looks enormous compared to my LT268. So, generally, i feel / fear that while a 35C frame is 100% a road frame, by the time you get to 38C (at least as of today), you have more of a chonky boi. Not quite gravel, ofc, but a chonki boi, and i have mixed feelings about this (especially regarding aerodynamics and ride feel).
With the caveat that i havent seen either irl. And i havent studied how the geometries compare.

From an aeroperspective wide forks can actually be beneficial, at least according to escape collective and the new factor that came out recently

Here they are.

I know this is super niche but any thoughts about aerobars compatible with those handlebars?

700*35C max tire clearance, UDH, T47 85.5mm bottom bracket, both top and down 52mm headtube
two types seat clamps for either 7*7 or 7*9 saddle rails
Size 54cm weight would be around 895+/-30g after painted and with front and rear derailleur hanger mounted.
Handlebar cable routing FSA ACR style.
wireless and traditional mechanical compatible.

Is this bike on your website yet? What is the model #?

Thanks

Gran Turismo frameset, there's a thread on the forum. I dont think it's on the website yet? It's soft released, as i understand it. I dont think all the mould sizes are ready yet, for example, but at least the L one if for sale if you ask Peter directly.

Thanks.

Hi there,

any news from the design of Peter ?

I sent him few emails but didn't get any update... last update was that he sent the frame for certification testing in Germany, did it fail ?

Thanks

Hi,
as far as I know, the frame has been successfully testet, and at least size 56 is available.
Regarding the custom design, Peter has also made great progress – the liveries look really nice.
