I was away from cycling for nearly a decade and I just picked it back up a 3 months ago. Now I need to update my bike collection.
Here is what I am looking for a new build:
A slack carbon frame that I can go anywhere. I will mostly ride pavement but will go on fire roads. I will use 30 - 32mm 700C road slicks. (A decade ago I was able to regularly ride my Giant Defy with 25mm slicks on single tracks so I don't think I need tires wider than 32mm.)
Geometry:
1) head angle <=71.5 deg
2) chainstay >= 425mm
3) seat post has to be round cause I want a dropper post
It's pretty much something like a Specialized Crux or a Diverge frame.
Any Chinese frames have similar geometry like that?
