I am just going through the process of ordering the GRT, road aero rise bar and gravel wheels with Peter.  I will be running Sram 1x XPLR and would welcome some recommendations please on a lightish but reliable bottom bracket. TIA, Bob

These are Incolor AEROWAV road handlebars.

The bike is incredibly agile and fast on the road. I’m achieving the same average speeds as on my DE ROSA 70 road bike with 30 mm tires.

Is this the "Type A" version of the frame?

Beautiful!
What lead time did you experience?

Any progress on this build @AFE ?

I've just completed the build of my Tideace Noah. I opted for a custom paint job and it took 26 days from ordering to delivery in the UK, which is pretty rapid. I'm still waiting on Lexon integrated gravel bars from AliX, so I've used a standard stem and bars for now, which look fine with the cables routed through the supplied headset cover. Complete weight with cages, computer/radar mounts, PM pedals and sealant is 8.6kg. The 54 frame with hanger and mounting bolts was 1350g and the fork was 430g.

I'm really impressed with the quality of the frame, parts, paint and finishing. Everything went together smoothly and the build was trouble free.

I've gone for a 2x build to use parts I already had and because range and spacing is still superior to 13-speed XPLR. I was worried about FD and frame clearance, so I bought a Wide AXS crank and FD, which provides 5mm clearance from FD battery with 50 mm WAM tyres. but it looks like I would have gotten away with a standard crank and FD with about 2.5 mm of clearance from the tyre. Frame clearance with standard 46/33 chainset was fine too, so the wide crank is only beneficial for tyres measuring 48 mm or more.

I may splash out on new E1 levers as I'm used to them on other bikes, but for now, I'm running with old Force D1 shifters and calipers, Rival D1 derailleurs, and a Force D2 43/30 wide chainset.

Wheels are the super-wide Elitewheels Aero+ Gravel (40e/32i/45d) shod with 48mm Tufu Thundero HD tyres.

Stem (90mm) and bars (36mm) are Prime carbon.

Saddle is cheap Elita one.

BB is ZTTO T47i.

Rotors are Zrace 160 CL.

Cassette is Goldix Ultralight 10-36 XDR.

Cages are AliX titanium.

Pedals are Garmin Vector 3.

Seat post and headset are stock.

I've only had a brief scoot around my street, so can't give ride impressions yet, but the bike doesn't feel as long as I thought it might and the 54 with 90 mm stem fits me well (178 cm tall 85 cm inseam).
