Quote from: Buffon_bj on October 29, 2026, 01:17:26 PMThe Grail has 1) worse tyre clearance than the GRT 2) a bad proprietary barstem solution that can't accommodate an aftermarket stem and 3) costs way more. The Mondince FM316 has similar great geometry but doesn't take big tyres.

57mm is not enough?? I guess you need full custom frame

Quote from: Buffon_bj on October 29, 2026, 03:43:22 AMI asked this some months before and didn't get an answer then, but has anyone built up this frame with a headset cover that takes exposed non-integrated brake hoses, something like what Mondince and Tideace often have for their frames? I am very much interested in buying the GRT but because of the shorter fit I can't use an integrated barstem (nobody makes them in 150mm+ stem lengths), and semi-integrated solutions like Deda aren't really cutting it because of the rather high stack of this frame. I'd ideally want to use something like a -12 or -17 standard stem with long reach handlebars, and route the cables externally up to the headset where they'd go in those little holes/slots.

Pros use 150mm stem because they size down their frame for weight and stiffness, the new Canyon Grail has long reach should fit you better
