I am curious for the review!
Does someone know if it provides power balance data?

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: XM Carbon Speed - "Gran Tourismo" Frameset
« on: November 13, 2025, 01:25:09 PM »The GT is the first one of a new generation, better carbon, better frames, higher price...
Would be really good to have more concrete/quantitative information on this.
Would be valuable when comparing to other options like the LCR018-D, https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,6333.0.html

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: LCR018-D vs Gran Tourismo - Aero Endurance

I am undecided between the two frames right now.
The pros & cons in my opinion:
LCR018-D
+ cheaper
+ internal storage
+ more clearance
- bit heavier (how much exactly? I guess between 100 and 200g. Anyone has better numbers?
- wider seat tube might be worse for bikepacking
XMCS Gran Turismo
+ One piece mold and latex molding -> this is supposedly higher quality (more durable) similar information on the LightCarbon not available.
+ weight
- price, roughly 700 to 800USD more
Do you have points I missed? Or How did you make your decision?
In terms of geometry, I think both will be fine for me.
Cheers!

Could someone measure the circumference of the seat-post?
It is important for me that it is not too large to fit straps of a bikepacking bag.
Thanks in advance!

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Aero clip‑on extensions on integrated bars – options?
« on: November 05, 2025, 04:10:52 AM »
Hi all,
We all chase the aero gains, and integrated cockpits look great, but rider position is still the biggest factor. I’m looking for aero handlebars that can accept clip‑on extensions and have found two options so far:
- Elves Orome AeroEXT – arm‑rest clip‑on
- Scott Syncros Creston IC SL – TT/tri clip‑on
My questions
1. Is adding clip‑on extensions to an integrated cockpit a sensible approach, or is the danger of damaging it too high?
2. Is there any “universal” solution, or do you need a model‑specific clip‑on for each integrated bar shape?
3. What concrete alternatives have you used? e.g., specific brands, or a non‑integrated cockpit.
Thanks for the input!
