Hello,

Just discovered the IZIP Altai.
On paper it is excactly what i am searching for.

Any thoughts on this frame?
Is there a website of the manufacture?
I am from Austria (EU).
If i order the frame via AI. The price is 280€ (aliexpress says with taxes?). The shipping is 60€.
I gues i have to pay the "anti dumping tax" of 48%?

Thank you!

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / TanTan GR047 or GR048?

Hello everyone :)

I'm looking for a gravel frame for my commuter bike on gravel roads and possibly for longer bike trips in the future. Currently, I can't decide between the Tantan GR047 (S), Seraph GR047, Spcycle G056, and Velobuild GF-03, as well as the Tantan GR048 (Airwolf R056) in XS or S sizes.

I'm 160 cm tall with an inseam length of 75 cm (640 mm from bottom bracket to saddle).

I currently own a Trek Madone 3.1 from 2012 in frame size 50 (bottom bracket to top tube 440 mm, rides great), and a budget gravel bike from XXL Sports - White GX (bottom bracket to top tube 450 mm, Reach 400 mm, Stack 520 mm), which feels a bit too large for me. Therefore, I want to transfer the wheels (WTB) and GRX groupset to a new frame.

Pros for the GR047:
- Proven design (Wilier Jena)
- Offset seat stay (I generally like this)
- Seat tube height of 430 mm

Cons for the GR047:
- Knock-off design
- Longer reach
- Not a timeless design

Pros for the GR048:
- $40 cheaper than the GR047
- Shorter reach
- Classic design
- Mounting points on the top tube are better positioned than on the GR047

Cons for the GR048:
- No reports of a successful build yet
- Frame design is somewhat unexciting, similar to XC frames
- XS with a 420 mm top tube length is a bit low, and 450 mm is the same as my current gravel bike

I've spent hours playing with Bikestats, but I just can't make up my mind. Does anyone have any tips on which frame I should choose?

Thanke you all :)
