Website link for this brand?

I really would love to see the Spect Mira aero tested against the Strada. An S5 or Incolor SSR would also be a fun comparison too.

Not at all convinced that the Mira is going to be fast; not saying it cant be just I am skeptical because it doesnt seem to be a low frontal area design. I do know it’s going to be heavy in comparison.

The bike from the Shanghai show i am most intrigued by is the Elilee concept with the 24mm HT. Historically, I dont love their geometries, but that bike seems like it might be a bit of a sleeper. Assuming the 20mm Ti steerer works as advertised.

I saw somewhere that Elilee is only supposed to fit a max. 28mm tire.  :'(

I am actually quite interested in this frame. All being said above.

Maybe I've gotten numb from my gratuitous amounts of bike reviews. Or the vast majority of bikes from the Shanghai Bike Show didn't really inspire blood flow inside my pants.

What I'm looking forward to:
-Light Carbon LCR020
-Spect Strada
-Tavelo Arden
-Tavelo Arow 2 (which I have photos of  )

C’mon tell us a bit more about the AROW 2. Is it going to Abe a simple evolution or a radical more crazy new frame?

Asked Aerofor about the Strada frame and custom painting. First they said they offer "custom service", whatever that means, they even asked if I have a design idea. I’ve presented my idea and they’ve said they do not do custom painting at the moment, but they do plan it in the future. So not really sure if this is a translation problem or if they are just bi-polar

Anyway, then they proceeded with sharing photos of their Mira frame I didn’t even ask for, so feel free to check the photoalbum: https://ibb.co/album/rkrDPZ. A bit of an overspray on the BB, not really sure if I would use this as a marketing material xD.

They’ve also confirmed both frames use FSA ACR headset, they’ve also hinted there is a gravel frame coming.

Don't tempt me man 

DO IT!

[alfiomotrambo]

DO IT!

You are the review man ahaha, they should send you one to test

[RobinRolling]

I am waiting right now for the PayPal link, seems like their paying process is not completely done or ready. Otherwise I don’t know, normally they send you the paying link directly
45 days + shipping, so hopefully the frame is in Germany before August

I found a video of the Mira on bilibli: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1u9RsBRETV/

Head tube does indeed not look very thin (which is the main point of this fork style I guess).

[patliean1]

While 73° seat tube is my personal preference, I just still can't understand their decision to forego 74° even 73.5°. This becomes even more egregious when you consider they did this across all frame sizes.

Isn't this usually a key indicator of some cost cutting to keep the price down? Similar to a brand using the same fork measurement across all sizes too? A single mold for that particular section of the frameset.

Can anyone here chime in to confirm?

Cervelo S5 is also not very thin, I can see the clear inspiration there haha.
