Re: wanted: Gravel Frameset for Audaxing (with stable mountingpoints for a backrack) I use a carbonda 696 as a do it all and I'll disagree. The design is quite outdated now. It's neither stable nor relaxed. The BB is by far the least stiff I've ridden, you sit quite high and the toe overlap is pretty bad even on larger sizes. Not to mention the horrible FD mount that is definitely an afterthought.
It's not as bad as I make it sound, carbonda has excellent communication and service, but the 696 is objectively not the best road bike and aged poorly. It does have all the mounting points you could want the grevil clone might not have.
Maybe look if sizing down on the tantan GR201 fits you as it has a lot of mounts

Re: wanted: Gravel Frameset for Audaxing (with stable mountingpoints for a backrack) Carbonda is launching a new brand with the AF01 model.
It ticks all the boxes of a great gravel: T47, UDH, plenty of mounting points, 50mm tire clearance
I started to ride the super light model, that is both light and stiff, a joy to ride.

I've posted a description and few pictures at https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,6124.msg83999.html#msg83999
I left all the spacers and the integrated handlebar they provide has a 0ยบ angle stem which makes it very relaxed.
