Can check after Eurobike, or maybe someome at EB is kind enough to lend a FD.

The Eurobike spec is 44T. The 46T Gemini is now on the VRT frame. I removed 1mm spacer and the chainline is about 47.75mm - if you presume one can measure a chainline that accurate.

It looks amazing. I know I'm griping about the chainring size, but it is really cool what you've been able to do geometry-wise and still be able to make it capable of mtb tires. Very good-looking bike too.

The GRT is getting a LOT of attention here at Eurobike. I did a short interview with mybikeparts (also on this forum), but also quite a big German online cycling magazine did an interview with me about it. They asked me to do it in German, which I survived  😄. But many people going quite crazy about it.

GCN was at our booth too, but they were a bit rushed so only took some shots of the VRT.

The GRT looks very good even better than the VRT I think. I hope you get the naming sorted. Any videos on youtube in english of the xmcs booth?

GCN shot quite a lengthy clip, but didn’t use it. Maybe it will come later. Rennrad news, German magazine had an interview with me where you can see quite some footage.

Frame is really looking good.

I understand that you're very busy with Eurobike and everything and i don't wanna complain all the time. But trying to purchase this frame really is not a fun experience. Not answering requests doesn't match XMCSs ambitions to become a serious brand.
