Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201
« on: June 23, 2025, 12:24:26 PM »
Is there any reason the Lexon Thin Line handlebar wouldn't work on this frame? I currently have PRO LT Gravel handlebars on it with a red shift stem so I am trying to match the shape of those more closely and the Thin Line has the same flare whereas the Unox has quite a bit wider flare. I don't know if the stiffness would be a problem since it seems like the Thin Line is designed for road and is probably lighter.

I would go with the 54, and adjust with a shorter stem if needed. You get some more stack, and typically also have more space for frame bag and bottles with the larger frame.

Good points, thank you.

I am planning on ordering my frame soon and am trying to decide on size. I am 177.5cm and am trying to decide between the 52 and 54. My current bike is:
  • Poseidon X Gen 1 Size Large
  • 25 Degree setback seat post
  • -6 degree 80mm Redshift Shockstop stem
  • 165mm crank

When I compare the geometry between the GR201 and the Poseidon X it looks like the 52 would match up better:

But I also noticed that the geometry of the GR201 seems pretty similar to a Specialized Crux and when I enter my height and shin length in their size calculator it recommends a 56 in the Crux which lines up more with the 54 in the GR201:

I haven't been riding gravel/road long enough to know if my current bike fits me well so I am leaning towards going with the 54.

Any help would be much appreciated.
