On these kinds of seatposts, do you still use carbon grip paste?

Hambini Gran Turismo video out now!
Just a couple of logo concepts. Let me know what you guys think!

If you mount the rotor correctly flat, then no issue.
On current Gran Turismo frameset, we will remove all decals except the XMCS or CARBON SPEED on downtube for now. After we get our US trademark approved, we will figure out more western design.
We are designing 2026 road racing frameset as well, which would be released in April 2026 I think.
I fully agree, I specifically chose this frame because I think the simple looks are superior to designs of many other chinese manufacturers like Winspace, Lightcarbon, Elves, etc.. I'm okay with branding done right (e.g. seka) as long as it is somewhat minimal and not plastered all over (e.g. elves). However, the "Revenger" decal is enough to put me of this frame. I understand the desire for brand recognition but I think there has to be a solution inbetween the new design and the old approach. While I don't love the current XMCS font, I think the XMSC decal does look kind of cool, especially with the holographic design some people suggested here.. I hope you reconsider parts of this design and name, because the frame geometry is awesome.
I dont plan to use wider tires than 28 or 30mm.
