Looks good, can you share the price? And how deep is the downtube storage?

There will be a bag here that goes inside the down tube, or you can choose the appropriate bag that goes inside the down tube, the length will depend on the entire downtube length.

I watched the small video where you move the "suspension" by hand.
It seems hard to move with a very very little flex.

I can't imagine that with the dampening rubber in place the rear moves a lot...
Is it sill a prototype because now it looks like on terrain we can't expect more than 1cm of suspension or more probably just vibration softening to the saddle?

My main concern for this would be spare parts and maintenance. What can you do about this? Maybe faster shipping on parts, or include spares in the box?

that was showing seat tube flex. That design would be similar to a suspension seatpost just enough to take the sting out of the bump not real suspension.

 I have a red shift post as set up full squish it stinks bad. You have to set it firm or your effort on the pedals suffers. I like it but certainly not worth the cost.

 
That design is to force seat post flex

it's only a small suspension, to offset the vibration of the frame to the body when riding, it is just some precision bearings, not the rearshock on the suspension MTB, the travel value is only 10mm.
If the travel value is too large, it will reduce the rigidity of the frame and affect the speed of the bicycle; now the travel just has no effect on the speed of the bikeļ¼Œ
One customer compared it with BMC URS and found that the speed was not reduced at all, and it's more stability than BMC on downhill. completed bike come from our domestic partner whom is the bike dealer.

Looks great!

Will there be a frame size XL available too? If so, when will this be available?

Kind regards Nick

The lack of stack is a bigger problem than the reach, per se, given the slack head angle.  They added about another 12mm of stack to the L (previously listed as M) from the proto, but that's still by far the lowest stack gravel frame on the market.  It needed to be more like 30-45mm more stack, not 12mm more.  But yeah, reach to stack ratio is absolutely bananas.  Shame, because I'd love something like this.

is it normal for gravel frames to have such a long reach?
I think it's a flatbar gravel, something like the specialized diverge EVO. In this case geometry is coherent ;)

Which size do you recommend for 1,82m, i don't need a aggressive position, more a relaxed position
