Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Seeking Advice - Road Frame w/ 600+ Stack 400+ Reach & STA of 74 degrees or more

I guess I should say - for me the order of importance is 74 degree or greater STA, then stack, then reach, then bb drop.

I may just need to look for a gravel frame instead. That aero frame from velobuild is close in terms of numbers (but too long for me) but overall I'm more of an all day endurance rider rather than crit racer.

I have also had Ti bikes in the past but am looking for a carbon frame at this time.

I forgot to mention but another western bike that now falls into this category is the new specialized Aethos (2).

The closest I'm seeing are the Airwolf YFR039 58cm which is close but still a tad low and long - https://airwolfcarbonbike.com/product/2025-new-endurance-t1200-full-carbon-road-frame-with-disc-brake-14212mm-32c-max-tire-bb386-road-bicycle-frameset-with-integrated-handlebar/

That Elilee frame does hit a lot of boxes!! I'm going to keep that in mind while I see if I can find something cheaper.

I've been a lurker of this forum on and off for nearly a year. I've seen some frames that offer some of the geometry I'm looking for here but I've yet to find the whole package. I know that the XL sizing tends to not be the highest priority but I'm wondering if there are any OEM frames that fit the geometry requirements I'm looking for. I currently have a custom-made bike (originally made for someone else) that fits these but I'm looking to be able to fit wider tires and run disc brakes (photo shows current bike)

Stack: I would really prefer 620ish, but anything taller than 600 is in the right ballpark
Reach: 400mm is right in the sweet spot
Seat Tube Angle: 74 degrees or greater

Preferred -
BB drop: greater than 70, closer to 80 is preferrable given both wider tire and shorter crank trends
chainstay: less than 420, though overall RC would be dependent on bb drop
in-line seat post
room for 36mm tires

In terms of western carbon, I'm aware of the BMC Roadmachine, Look 765 Optimum, and Simplon (several bikes) but I wanted to know if there are any eastern options.
