Jack, just let me know they are launching a new frame with 61mm tire clearance. The 54cm frame is releasing this month; the other sizes are being released in June.

Can't wait to have more details !
I think several people on this forum including myself were looking for a chinese version of the Salsa Cutthroat and it seems like it could be it.
I checked the geometry and it's very close to the Salsa Cutthroat, the main difference is that the Salsa Cutthroat is suspension corrected.
I have been looking for a carbon bikepacking bike for challenging terrain and this would be a great fit.

Ok, this goes now on top of my list.
61mm clearance with 6mm space still both sides..
Geometry looks just spot on for me 😊

Is it a 54cm frame on the attached pdf?

Down the rabbit hole we go, 61mm has me excited. How many GRAVEL FRAMES clear a 61mm?
Now checking 2.4 MTB tires 🤩 Thunder Burt or Dubnital?!

Holy shit. Mondice adapting to the latest trends in a few weeks it seems, churning new frames like there’s no tomorrow

was a 440 chainstay really necessary?
seat tube angle at 73.5 plus very short reach sounds like a missed opportunity

Sounds like a very comfortable frameset! Exactly what I was looking for!

Good find! That’s it! Just plugged in the geo and it’s identical.

The rear is different.

New one has dropped seat stay ( open doesn't )
And the seat tube is different shape, on the lower end.
But good find still

I am thinking of replacing my giant revolt for this -lack of direct mount compatibility is annoying

I totally missed that haha. Good catch. I think dropped seat stays is better for gravel. Just my opinion. Definitely doesn’t look as good though.

It’s weird cos when looking at the Mondice blueprint the top tube seems wayyyyyy slacker than the OPEN. But according to the comparison not at all…!!
