Looks like the first affordable 32" carbon gravel frames are finally here!

I'm curious what you guys think about the geometry of the new Seraph/TanTan GR332, especially compared to the Avona Callis 32.

In size L, the GR332 has 629 mm stack, 430 mm reach, 455 mm chainstays and 52 mm fork offset. The Avona is at 598/398 mm, with 440 mm chainstays and 60 mm offset.

That's quite a difference, especially for a drop-bar bike.

I'm 189 cm tall and looking to build a fast, sporty 32" gravel bike rather than a drop-bar MTB.

Do you think the GR332 geometry makes sense for that, or is it more suited to relaxed off-road riding?

It's amazing to see how much has happened since I started this thread. We now have frames, rims and tires, which is far more progress than I expected.

Personally, I'm now hoping the next step will be a dedicated 32" carbon gravel frame. Not simply an XC frame with a rigid fork, but a frame designed from the ground up for drop bars and fast 45–50 mm tires.

I wonder if any of the Chinese manufacturers are already thinking about something like that. I'd definitely be interested.

Hey folks,
just curious — has anyone seen any carbon MTB frames or wheelsets for 32-inch setups yet? I know 29ers are still the standard, but I've seen a few experiments with 32" floating around and was wondering if any of the Chinese brands are already playing with that size.
Would be awesome to build something like that up for fun.

Cheers,
