Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Gravel bike for commuting
« on: May 07, 2026, 07:06:59 AM »
Hi,
I'm looking for a frame for commuting with some special features. I live in Sweden so I need space for big tires during the snowy and icy winter. I'm going to use drop bars and a 1x sram force group set. I ride a lot of road bike so I'm quite used ta an agressive position. I'm also going to use mud guards and a rear rack. I haven't found the perfect frame (yet). Can you help me out with a suitable frame that would meet the following requirements:
- Good looking carbon gravel frame
- UDH rear derailleur hanger
- At least 50 mm tire clearance
- Mudguards mounts (both in the front and in the rear)

Nice to have:
- Bridge mounts for the rear mudguard

I will use the Ortlieb Thru Axle M6-Connector (https://de.ortlieb.com/en/products/thru-axle-m6-connector) so that I don't need to use frame eyelets for the rear rack.

Hit me with your suggestions! When the build is finished I will post the project here.

This looks like an interesting frame but the info at the information on Hongfu's website is, to say the least, quite sparse.
Does anyone have more info about the frame? Has the frame been reviewed anywhere?

I think this is the exact same frame as Ridley uses for the Ridley Raft and that bike is using 8x16 shaft hardware and a 8x22 body hardware.

Hi,
I'm planning a build with this frame. I'm aiming for a sram transmission groupset but i get a bit confused.
Light carbon specifies the frame to have a 52 mm chainline and UDH. Transmission (that can be attached to an UDH frame) seems to be having a 55 mm chainline.
Is it a bad idea to use sram transmission with a 55 mm chainline on this frame?

The reason for transmission is that I also looking for rockshox flight attendant suspension which is a perfect match with the transmission.
