I'm also hunting for a frame and using CAD to help me......

Inspired by Chiyou i draw the comparisson Tideace GR201 vs Carbonda CFR 707 which I thought is more comfortable, but differences are not as much as I thought by just compared this frames in Bike Insight or simmilar sites...
 
Good that I've checked this because I was almost ordered Carbonda :) but as I see the seat post is very long - 285mm to top of saddle so I probably need longer seatpost? The bending moment in seatpost mounting point will be much bigger in Carbonda than in Tideace so it's not good in longterm use and carbon frame... 

The reach from saddle to aproximate handle point is about 15mm difference in this 2 frames, I'm not sure if that really matters?

Any suggestions?

I'm also hunting for a frame and using CAD to help me; here's a diagram with your numbers. The center-of-saddle-to-handlebar number is 72.26cm (the grey figure at top near the mouse pointer).

Thank you very much for your great job with CAd drawing!
I'll check my present settings on MTB  but at glance it seems quite agressive position for me - esspecially  saddle/handlebar high differemce.

Probably I should find another frame with some little bit higher head or stack and higher angle of saddle tube. Carbonda CFR707 looks more comfortable.

Hi folks!
I'm going to set up my first gravel bike in near future. This frame seems interesting for me, but after tones of reading posts, making excel tables I'm still knowing nothing about which frame size should I choose.

I'm 181cm height with 88-89 inseam and 184 arm span. After some research I'm mostly decide to 56 size. Is anyone here that has similar inseam and this frame size?

Now I'm riding on MTB bike with 450 reach and 626 stack, TT=630mm and don't feel comfortable after longer rides.

Is GR201 good geometry choice - wanna something between upright position and race style :)

PS. Could anyone who has 56 frame, set the saddle on 79cm height from BB and measure the distance from ~center of saddle to handlebar?   ::) I'd be really apreciate a photo showing these set  ;)
