Re: Bike fitting suggestions - High-stack / low-reach frame? Since you posted in the gravel section I'll mention the Mondince FM356 frame with its 590mm stack / 374mm reach; I don't think it meets your requirements all that well though:
* not yet released but supposedly coming soon - see the FM356 thread
* chonky gravel frame - very long chainstays (and hence wheelbase), large BB drop

Re: Bike fitting suggestions - High-stack / low-reach frame? on saddles, the good news is aliexpress sells tons of options for cheap. Specialized sold a lot of the... i forgot the name, but it agreed with lots of women, and Ali ofc sells a clone.

How tall is she? surprised to see a woman considering M/L frames. Usually women are weak and short. If she weighs more than some men, the "right" frame can vary a lot. A dude running a Large frame will probably care about aero because he will easily ride fast. Meanwhile a 50kg woman will probably want something closer to an aethos because comfort, snap, weight, and i rarely see women doing bunch rides at 40+kmh.

From there, i find it odd you're looking at road bikes and gravel bikes. A gravel bike is not a road bike, and vice versa. Do you know the riding you'll do?
The Gran Turismo is being discounted because the original price didn't clear, but it could still be an overkill compared to a LT301, for eg. The 301 could be a great option, because it's relatively budget friendly, w recent specs (low weight), wide clearance, and the geometry is on the relaxed side.

Re: LTWOO eGR I messaged 80 designer store with couple of questions and while some of them got their meaning lost in translation i got a reply with some valuable information.

- According to them any eGR RD should have the ability to get 13 speed upgrade in APP but it is not recommended as their have different cage design and might go into wheel spokes.

- New shifters are not compatible with the old eGR generation so if you want to upgrade it is necessary to swap both the shifter and RD.

So overall the possibility to upgrade old gens to 13 speed is nice but very disappointing to see that in case of RD or shifter failure for old gen, we will be forced to swap both of them as there is no backwards compatibility :(

I asked few more questions but their exact meaning got lost in translation and the response i got was not accurate to the question, but based on clues they answered that attaching FD to old gen and using left shifter for it is possible but for new gen getting rid of shifting function on left shifter makes any conversion to 2x not possible.

I would be very interested if anyone could verify new RD compatibility with old version of shifter. Also despite their claims i still did not recieve any updates for my RD and i do not see a possibility for 13 speed on blue version so their comments might not be accurate.
