32 inch wheel frames?

[repoman]

Seems like this is the new thing that will be pushed until it becomes the norm. Are there any 32" gravel or road racing frames starting to become available by OEM yet?

I'd wait a bit until manufacturers find the sweet spot of geometries for these wheels. Unless you're looking for newest, shiniest toy as soon as it is released, there's no china frame that would clear 32" wheels yet.

Unless you are 185+ cm it is too early to get into 32 IMO. Otherwise expect the frame to be stupidly harsh to ride and with sloppy geometry.

Seems we already have first prototype od 32 from tantan.

and there is geometry

Key elements from this schematic:

• It's an "M" size: 410mm Reach, 621.9mm Stack, 588.3mm TT and 490mm ST;
• Boost hub spacing: 110x15mm front and 148x12mm rear;
• 2.4 inch tire clearance;
• T47 inboard BB (86mm);
• 68.5º HTA, 74º STA;
• 1112.2mm wheelbase, 455mm chainstays;
• frame/downtube storage, front bottle mounted on the frame, above the door;
• there's a reference to "SRAM 42T", which I assume is the max chainring size, but not sure if it's for the regular or wide crank...

From the shape of this frame, it seems to me it's an adapted 32er convertion/streched version of the Tantan GR267/Mondince FM376 700c gravel frame, also considering the same solution for the front bottle mounted on the frame, above the door...


UPDATE: the frame is an M, not an L.

Curious to know the weight..

I’d place it around the 1400g mark…

Key elements from this schematic:

• should be an L size equivalent: 410mm Reach, 621.9mm Stack, 588.3mm TT and 490mm ST;
• Boost hub spacing: 110x15mm front and 148x12mm rear;
• 2.4 inch tire clearance;
• T47 inboard BB (86mm);
• 68.5º HTA, 74º STA;
• 1112.2mm wheelbase, 455mm chainstays;
• frame/downtube storage, front bottle mounted on the frame, above the door;
• there's a reference to "SRAM 42T", which I assume is the max chainring size, but not sure if it's for the regular or wide crank...

This isn't that far off the geometry of my size large Lauf True Grit, which is interesting.  It has a more relaxed headtube (70.5 vs 68.5) but the seat tube goes from 72.5 to 74, so it kind of balances out.

So, I contacted TanTan bikes about this frame and their response was that, as expected, this model is still in the mold-making stage and the release date has not yet been announced.

[dvisschedyk]

The SpCycle that they started a new thread with seems to have the exact same dimensions as the TanTan, and look the same.  So I assume it's the same mold.

UPDATE: the frame is an M, not an L.

That makes it a very long bike, if I look at the SPcycle geometry sheet, the Small is longer than most 54cm frames, approximately 20mm longer on top tube alone, and Stack is crazy high too.
I cannot figure how so many experienced chinese frame makers can miss a geometry so often. It is crazy to see this amount of frames that have a key figure so wrong. I mean, in doubt just copy paste the best selling frame geometry of the big brands and that’s all!
