Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Who makes the Montecci frames
« on: February 25, 2020, 12:53:27 PM »
Trying to track down who makes Montecci's bike frame.

Take a look here - https://montecci.com/smith-journal-13/

It looks almost like the FM-CR08 from Hadiel, and a few other manufacturers.

thanks in advance!

29er / Re: Tideace FM-M009 info?

I have been riding the FM-009 for over a year, and have no complaints about it.

Tire Size: 2.35 will be tight. I run a 2.25 with 23mm ID wheels and it fits just about right.

Front derailleur: no feedback I can give, I run it 1x. I have to shift the crankset to the right to clear the chainstays to be able to run a 32t oval chainring.

I'll take some pictures tonight of my tire clearance and crankset to help you make your own informed decision.

Otherwise great bike.

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Tideace CX072 - Any feedback? Gravel frames for Tall Guys
« on: February 04, 2019, 07:38:13 AM »
Hey all,

I'm new to Chinertown, but am not new to the open mold frames. I have a Tideace FM-009? for the past year and use it as a training bike.

I just sold my current cyclocross/gravel bike, as it was too small for me. I won an auction on a new frame, but I'm thinking that the seller will back out and I'll be stuck without a frame come race season in a couple months... I digress.

I'm interested in the Tideace CX072 frame, as it fits the bill for tire size, and thru axle spacing.
Geometry for the XL 59cm seems close
- Reach: 398mm (I should be able to run a 110-120mm stem without a problem)
- Stack: no stack geo listed. But the seat tube is 590mm, and if I theoretically rotated the seat tube to 90 degrees, I should be okay with that rough stack number. The gravel frame I sold had a stack height of 569mm and reach of 389mm. It was a true cyclocross frame geo, and I had to run crazy spacers to get a stack height that was barely acceptable.

Any feed back is appreciated. Of course this is all dependent on if my eBay auction purchase falls through.
