XS size REACH 388mm!?!? too insane

And then stop at 400 mm in XL?!

For a tall guy with a long torso it started out great and then ending 12 mm later (there is potentially a bad joke there somewhere..).

Tall person with gigantic CdA

In terms of frame design, it reminds me a lot of the Berria Belodor: "slender" aerodynamic design.

Made by Mondince/TideAce by their lay up infographic on their site, by the looks of it.

To me it looks like a scott foil on a diet, just like many more. LCR020 look like Scott foil with slimmer rear end 35c clearance

Haha just noticed this one hour ago
The blue and yellow render is exactly the same as Mondince one for the FM126

Sorry, but where can I find the Mondince render you're referring to?
Thanks

Here's a PDF I got from sales (melody@icanbikes.com). I was quoted "A54 ,USD730/set ,frame, fork, headset ,seatpost"

I like the gravel tires in the pictures  ;D

True, although steeper STA should be accompanied with substantial increase in reach across all sizes to prevent sitting to far over handlebarsand excessive load on arms. So far, progressive geometry is still (and probably will be) a very niche stuff.

Now I'm really confused. The forward offset BB basically acts like a huge seatpost setback, which runs counter to the progressive geometry ideal. I need to think about this. I might draw something up in fusion

I got a quote today at 730 as well. I will probably get one of those as it seems to be a cheaper version of the XMCS. geometry seems good enough for me and they said that they are available for immediate shipping.

Not in big sizes (XL)

That sucks. I'm jumping off this aero hype train. As much as I don't like buying "copy" or "inspired by" frames, it looks like the new tt-x68 is the front runner for me at the moment.

I'm gonna dump some of my confusion onto this thread and hope somebody can figure this out for me  ;D

I asked Melody what the actual clearance on the rear is, knowing that 35mm is stated. She replied: "Check our geometric charts ,when tire 35mm ,8.2mm spacer for each side
We do not advise 37mm ,but you could try ?"

She sent this message with the following PDF attached, which shows a 40mm tire on the front and rear with 8.2mm and 6.2mm clearance on either side, respectively.

...what?

EDIT: She just got back to me: "Sorry ,forgot to update the geometric charts ,the real max tire 35mm we design
And 6mm also available,so we think 37mm tires works "

This is exciting to me. I'm likely going to order this frame as I'm looking to fit a 35mm measuring ~37mm on the back.

This is the most interesting bike i've seen in a while. Reach could've have been a tiny bit longer, but overall, the geometry is very modern.
Weight is okay, tire clearance is very good, optic is great.
