As an owner of this frame I can't help but to notice this frame being sold under different brands. One of them that I posted a few pages earlier is Parapera atmos.
Now another atmos poped up in my feed on youtube that looked rather curious. It looks like the same SC-R55D frame but in a composite carbon-titanium construction.
I don't know what the claims of the manufacturer about this frames are since all of the videos are in German

What do you think?

Do you have geometry charts? Maybe I can compare them to my Adapt DP-B02.

Edit: I searched the bike and checked the geometry. While the design has some similarities, geometry is just tad a bit different compared to my DP-B02. But one thing is for sure, Adapt/Speeder make bikes for Parapera.

That's definitely r55d and there's noghing unusual about it. I'm interested in the composite titanium frame that is also based on the same frame. Just surprised they used an open mold frame for such an expensive project(they sell framesets for 5000 euros) Wonder if they've got the frame from speeder in pieces or just cut the frame and then glued it back together with 3d printed titanium lugs

Monocoque frame like this are usually produces in 2 diferent parts, front triangle and rear triangle separated. I'm wondering why to get a monocoque frame, cut the frame and glue 3d printed titanium lugs.... I hope they are not doing it! it would be non sense

Luckily for Parapera, Speeder is not monocoque :)

i think the naming is really confusing. I believe manufacturers call monocoque a frame that has a monocoque front triangle whilst the read triangle is bonded to it, and the rear triangle also has multiple pieces bonded together. Does not sound very "mono"

@pavlo.k

Do you have some photos of the bike from outside? What saddle height did you set, measured from the bottom bracket?
I'm between sizes 535 and 560, but I prefer the 560; I could ride it without spacers. The longer head tube also looks a bit better.

Edit: You can now also select the type of BB: "BB: Press Fit BB86.5 or T47"

How tall are you? I'm 193 and I run quite a few spacers. the stack is pretty low. saddle height is 86cm from bb center to the top of the saddle

You was on the last bikeshow video on YT correct? ;D
I recognize that bike!

Not sure whether the bike is that big or the bottle is that small...

it's both. It's the largest size and a pretty small bottle 550ml

Thanks for the picture.

I'm 1.80m tall, but with an inseam of about 87cm, my legs are a bit longer than usual, and my arms aren't exactly short in proportion to my torso. My saddle height is about 760mm.

Currently, I ride a 2018 TCR Rim Brake in M/L (stack 562, reach 398) with 15mm spacers. So, I would ride the 535 with the Light Carbon cockpit with an 8mm rise and a 110mm stem + 10mm spacers.

I would ride the 560 with a cockpit without rise, a 100mm stem, and no spacers.

The riding position would then be almost identical on all three bikes.

I'm no expert in bikefit and it's just my subjective opinion but think you should go for a smaller frame. Speeder sizes are a little confusing. 560 is a seattube length but the size is more like XL or 59-60 when you compare to other brands. Take Rose Xlite for example, If you look at the geo 560 speeder lands right between 59 and 62 Xlite
