It looks amazing. I know I'm griping about the chainring size, but it is really cool what you've been able to do geometry-wise and still be able to make it capable of mtb tires. Very good-looking bike too.

The new crux can fit a 52t, willier rave 50t, ridley astr 52t, tavelo grow 50t, evolve cima gr 50t

A maybe-48t with a bad chainline is surprising and disappointing given how perfect everything else about this bike seems to be so far. And I say that as someone who arranged a preorder for it with Peter already.

Please no. My mountain bike can take a 42t. I really hope that's wrong

Come on, Peter. Let us get a little taste.

Any new info on this? Really curious to see this built up.

Tavelo's new gravel bike looks really good, but if this one delivers on its promises it would be even better imo

And here's my Tantan GR201.

Are those 2.1 thunder burts? How wide do they measure on these wheels?

I think this bike is almost perfect to me, but I do wish it just had slightly more tire clearance. If it could just fit 2.2 no question with modern rim profiles it would be an instant buy. Might still end up getting one. It has basically the same geo as my cross bike (lower bb) but with way more tire clearance. That is the dream.

. Looks like a 2.1 is the limit in the rear, which is honestly a bit surprising to me. Those things measure more or less true to the official 53mm clearance, it should be possible to squeeze in a bit more. And he put way bigger tires on the old version.

I've definitely seen a G21 with Race Kings at a race, but I think that was also the old version.

Probably just depends the internal of the wheels you are running. This guy for example is running RaceKing 2.2 front and back: https://www.instagram.com/p/DLAt4WZsjPH/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Any interest in a top-tier carbon, 56cm v1 that started this thread? I have about 1000 km on mine. Having some health issues that will keep me from riding for the foreseeable future.

Guess everyone might have moved onto the v2 reps now but I can put up an ad in the buy/sell subforum if desired.

I made a second iteration. This one actually had some planning behind it so it turned out much better than last time when I was making it up as I went. There are still some errors (I wish I remembered what I was doing when I sketched out the fork crown 2 mm further forward than the head tube) and some things I didn't have the foresight to plan around, but for the most part it's alright enough that I can put it through some cfd. The fork even turns a full 360° without contacting the frame. Should still clear 40mm tyres and geometry is a touch more aggressive

When I posted the first design, a user messaged me that they saw some prototypes from XMCS, so they are probably far along enough in production that if there are any similarities, they probably arrived there separately.

I won't clog this thread further so it'll probably just be a private passion project from now on.

This is so cool. I want to ride that.

I know there were some early comments in this thread about using a Deda compression plug instead of the one that comes with this frame. It looks like that product is no longer for sale from what I can see.

What are others doing for compression plugs? The one I received with the bike does not fit now that I've cut the steerer to size. Any other recommendations?

The site is live now. No details on prices/dealers yet. It's interesting to me how outspoken they are about their relationship with WIAWIS who also sells the exact same bikes under their own brand name.

Mine arrived today. Looks really nice for the most part but there are a fair amount of visible fibers and resin on the bottom bracket shell. Anything I should be concerned about?

The original is Dura-ace and ultegra to. There is a seperate one for 105. I would not try it

Do you have a link to the 105 model? I can't find it in that seller's catalog.

The other thing is, I would like to run a shorter cage than the 105 di2 which Shimano says has a minimum low gear of 34T. I'd really like to run an 11-30 or 11-32.

Ryet OSPW

They say this is only compatible with Dura Ace and Ultegra. I wonder if I could get away with using it on 105...
