Quote from: NB87 on October 26, 2026, 08:32:36 AMDo we know what the max 1x chainring size is for this frame?

There you go

Cheers. Going by this info apparently shimano chainrings sit closer to the frame. I was not aware of this.
If true I'd imagine Shimano to have better chainline in compromise for some top-end. Interesting..

To bad the smallest available model is to big. reach is ok, but stack of 547mm is extreme. The size 47 LCR018 is 519mm.

It's a gravel bike that's conforming to modern higher stack standards. Plenty of other options out there for a more aggressive position.

Is it possible for anyone to post a photo of the frame with 30-32mm tires?

I am strongly considering this frame for at dual purpose setup.
Otherwise i might go to the van rysel rcr-g.

It looks so much better than the VR... also 1/3 of the price...

I'm torn between buying this frame or a mondice 376, or an SP Cycle G028. I'm not really sure what size to get. I currently have a 2022 Cannondale Topstone in a size L. I've been trying to compare the geometry i don't understand much of this. What do you think?

The LC is much more aero than the other 2. Aero Seatpost is what sets it apart. Also the S5 like seattube and longer aero headtube. Exactly why I chose this one.

Using sites like BikeInsights.com help a ton, though it doesn't take into account stem and handlebar reaches, etc.

Here is your Topstone vs an LCG072 in XL.

Looks pretty similar, your saddle will be further forward by a bit due to seat tube angle. The extra 6mm reach can be accounted for with a shorter stem unless you think you can handle that.
