Budget: ~3500€ total for the complete bike (frame to wheels). Up to ~1700€ can go toward the frame/fork/seatpost/cockpit kit specifically.s: 50mm+ tire clearance, very aero-oriented), UDH dropout, internal routing
Strongly prefer an integrated cockpit if it fits the budget, but open to a separate bar/stem if that gets me a better frame for the money
Riding: club road rides, cyclocross, some light bikepacking
Size dont know 1.87m rider

I wonder how long until we see clone appearing in this forum.

I really would love to see the Spect Mira aero tested against the Strada. An S5 or Incolor SSR would also be a fun comparison too.

Not at all convinced that the Mira is going to be fast; not saying it cant be just I am skeptical because it doesnt seem to be a low frontal area design. I do know it’s going to be heavy in comparison.

The bike from the Shanghai show i am most intrigued by is the Elilee concept with the 24mm HT. Historically, I dont love their geometries, but that bike seems like it might be a bit of a sleeper. Assuming the 20mm Ti steerer works as advertised.

As my frame is currently on route to me: any recommendations regarding a good Wahoo Mount?

Anything else worth upgrading?

Thx
