Another newly published frame from LT.
This one keeps up with the trend for larger tires, specified at 57c.
The geometry is more aggressive than the other models as well, Personally I quite like this one spec wise but I think that rear end looks a bit naff.
Looking at the geo chart this is the most exciting open mold gravel release in quite some time -- great crossover potential as both an aero-oriented race bike for gravel or road or a winter training setup. Quite likely to bite the bullet on this!
Geo looks really good but damn that rear end looks hideous
Geometry is very nice, maybe slighlty slacker HT angle would be better.
Rear chainstays looks very thin, maybe despite the geo is a more comfort oriented frame with a lot of compliance on the rear wheel.

The Rear end reminds me of the Argon 18 Anti-Matter, which LT apparently makes.

To me it looks a copy of the new berria naii x, but the berria only clears 50mm tyres officially.
Almost the same geometry too.
I think you're right. I'm noticing that some of the dimensions, such as stack and reach, are consistently offset by the same amount from size to size compared with the Berria which makes me wonder if it's more of a measurement method difference instead of an actual geometry change between the two.
I saw that difference, my guess is that the measurements are taken with or without headset top cover that may add some stack
This one together with the GV206 fork would have been almost perfect for me.. only 5mm BB-drop more would then make it kind of my dream geometry.
Well, then we also have the quite ugly chainstays as an downside.
Maybe one should try asking about getting that fork on this frame(?)
Is the geometry chart correct?
1. I see the Flip chip fork but the fork offset is fixed
2. The Front center value is inconsistent, If calculated with Stack/Reach/BBdrop/HTA/Fork Offset then real value should be 5mm longer vs chart, except M size.
Okay Ive sent an email to them to confirm the geometry/etc, but it turns out that this frame uses "Aero" seatpost....
So it is just Berria NAII but open mold.
Also their drawing on S size has pivoted seatstay which is same as NAII
I received this picture of the frame
Looks nice but why did they add mounting holes on the fork of an aero gravel bike. Anyone know the availability?
:)

They say that you're able to choose: with or without. So far a few in raw finish are in stock. Price is at $550 plus shipping,...
New handlebars with finally option to choose stem length and width are at $100 at around 340g.
I emailed Alisa about this frame as I like the look of it a lot and I have some SRAM rival axs shifters and GX derailleur needing a 'home' already. Given my previous experiences of LT (266 and 268d) I have no hesitation ordering a frame from them again.
Alisa confirmed the 57mm tyre clearance is with 5mm around the tyre.
They do not yet have any pictures of a complete build but incase anyone is also interested Alisa sent me this picture which hasn't been posted here yet.

Eh bah dites donc le mauvais goût chez vous, c'est comme les pattes avant d'un hamster, elles sont pas derrière, tu m'as compris!
Les robins des bois.

Cool story bro
You can't explain the fashion police to non-Francophones.
Hi all, Alisa told me the maximum chain ring size is 48 for single and 31/48 for double.
It seems to be compatible with a mechanical derailleur, got some drawings. The fork is 28.6 mm in diameter.

I like this frame very much.
Somebody know what the weight for the frame and fork is?
