I really hope this frame clears 54mm WAM tires..

A frame that can't clear a 2.1 thunder burt with space for mud is basically not workable at the moment.

That's the problem with the new elite bike.

Interesting! Following this thread for any updates..

Reach & stack on L is great. I'm 182 cm and would run 90 mm stem. My back angle is already in the more agresive <140°. Not sure why would i need a crazy long stem, I wouldn't even reach the bars.

Sounds like you're sitting waaaay to the back and/or have short hands

[Pedaldancer]

All people complaining that the reach is to short...
There are a lot of long reach frames available...
But short frames are rare. What really makes it difficult for people that have long legs and or short arms.
So for the latter one this frame is suitable  ...because for me that's even a frame on the long side.
I' have to choose 54 to not have a too low stack and would have to run 70mm stem...

I'm with you there, i usually find alot more frames that are "too long top tube" for my body, but have never stumbeled on one which is to short.. especially if you try running an integrated handlebars many frames is directly a no for me, because they are too long.

this frame is not short. the sizing is just off. each size is too small in every dimension. 58 is stated to fit riders up to 195 but the geo looks like a size medium at best. I'm 193cm and I would need to run 600mm seatpost and 160 stem

This is like high end marathon shoes. You undersize the item so that by comparison it appears lighter than it is - 'our medium is only xxx grams' is code for 'our medium is quite heavy so we relabelled the small a medium so you think it's lighter'.

It's what happens when, like for a lot of these Chinese brands, the headline specs sell the bike.

As I said.. for me it's even on the long side. Agreed 100%

Loving almost everything about that one  BB drop could be a little more, price could be a little less, but i like the geo and paint options a lot. following the release for sure

I’ll take UD RAW CARBO. GLOSSY all day everyday. It is the lightest, cheapest and classiest finish possible

I’m pretty sure it will clear 50+ mm tires

Any idea on frame weight?

I can't see it in the chat, but I may be blind.

I'm looking to build a light weight, aero gravel bike this year, but the current frames available are out of my target price bracket.

Also asked that when i emailed them about the frame, the answer was that we don't know final weight yet. so we have to wait and see.
