I ran a Geometry Geeks comparison of the y1rs and the Mira in my size and they are very close-small seat tube angle and fork angle differences but almost a copy.

The Mira geometry is, on paper, a direct, almost 1:1 copy of the S5, the only real difference being a slight adjustment to BB drop. However the S5 (and the Y1RS) have divergent seat posts, which means the actual seat angle in practice is often steeper than what is on paper. The Mira seat post is collinear to the BB centre, so the stated seat post angle is the actual seat post angle.

I’ve been told the new colourways for the Strada should be announced in a couple of days.
The black looks great, so interesting to see what they come out with.

I’m constantly thinking about the Strada and think it would build into a super lightweight climbing bike.

As I like doing a lot of climbing and thinking about an Everesting later this year, this could be the perfect frame to build up with a carbon crank and a put the aero raptor wheels onto.
I’m just trying to weigh up this vs trying to lighten the LCR018-D with some lightweight parts.
It’ll never be as light as the Strada, but has a lot of comfort which might be equally as important as weight.
I also just love the look of the Strada which in the end is 90% of the decision making process given most modern frames are so damn good anyway.

Same, man, same  ::) ;D

The new colorways should come out at the time a new website is launched. Aerofor told me it should be this week.

And in the meantime they released a new frame, not on their social tho, could be ai?

They’ve told me about an incoming gravel frame, I guess this is it. Weird name choice tho.

More inspiration from Cervelo. They should have called it the Mira 5.

The geometry of the Strada in a 54 is very similar to the SL8.

Thoughts on the Mira.
I'd be concerned with the stiffness of the headtube, because when looking at the naked frame, you're missing half the head tube of a regular frame. Would i trust them to compensate physics with layup? given most of their stuff looks like AI marketing (strong branding, unknown / unclear substance, afaik), no.
The trend is also towards thinner seat stays, and slimmer seat tubes, looking at new western releases. This frame in comparison has a very shaped rear end, and i suspect it's vibes before ride quality.

They're good at marketing. Are they good at making bikes though?

Earlier in this thread, I've seen people assume they are.
I wonder what makes one think this will be good quality. Is it because on the pics it looks good ?

Without any info, the safe (and rational) bet would be to assume the opposite until proven wrong.

Only after the first buyers have received their frames we can junge the quality. And aftersales etc. still cant be determined. I think its only getting this much traction as it is the first cheap frame with a bayonette fork (which i can totally understand  ;D)

For this new brand, it is already disreputable, the geometry sheet is not same as the real frame, and the founder of this brand cursed many riders who ask about this issue. Also this founder has plenty of black histroy. I wanted to get one of strada as well, but later when I realize who they are, then I give up the thoughts.
Chinese rider with weak legs, but would like to share info between China and oversea.

Can you be specific? You're a user with zero history accusing the founder of "black history". That's both shady and vague.

I find the Strada very interesting and have already made contact regarding a purchase. However, I’ll probably wait for the first reviews, partly because I’m not sure about the quality 😬
By the way, the Strada frame looks uncannily like the Spcycle R088, and the geometry is same same 😉
