Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Long Teng GV204

Another newly published frame from LT.
This doesn't seem to be a frame any other companies are producing AFAIK, although I might have missed it so feel free to correct me.
Some of the geometry lines up with FM366 as well as having a very similar down tube, although this is only specified for 50c tires.

This looks to be the same as the Mondince FM366.

Newly published gravel frame from LT.
At first glance it seems to be the same as the Tideace and Haideli GV202 models, the only change seems to be the addition of a mudguard.

Anybody over 6 ft and have the 58 and find the seat tube angle too slack ?

Currently ride a 73 degree with a 20/25mm offset post.

I know some of the geo echos the pinarello x but wondering how significant the measurements that don't are...also what the ride is like as the X is designed to be comfortable on rou7ght roads. Is the X really worth 5k for a frameset compared to this?

There aren't many other frames that will give me a shorter reach and higher front end for long rides, so the market is quite sparse.

Pretty sure Peter sells a zero offset seat post, no?
I think the Pinarello X has a lot more stack. I'm not aware of any OEM frame with that geometry, unfortunately (or maybe some really unappealing unaero purely endurance frame i might have missed).
You could stack up with a positive stack cockpit though, that's my next purchase. I'm riding Peter's grevil clone this summer, it has a few cm more stack than my road bike, and it's a no brainer for aero position. High stack for tall dudes is the future, i'm sold.

If you find the Gran Turismo too harsh, max out the tyres? more air more comfort, difference is dramatic in my experience.

First ride today!
Am going to be using this as my road bike with big tyres and flat greenway/canal bank/flat hardpack long distance stuff.
I surprised at how it held speed and the comfort.It zipps along nicely.
Certainly on a par with a lot of road bikes I have ridden.
The build went pretty much ok.
Slight problem with the alignment of the front caliper but got it sorted.
Paint is absolutley superb. Zero overspray and no issues with bearings being seated.

Set up
1x with a 48 front ring and a ZTTO 11-44 13 speed cassette.
KMC x12 chain
Wheeltop gravel groupset
LEESE Carbon crank
FForward wheels with DT Swiss 240s hubs with Challenge Strada 30mm tyres.

Has anyone tried Ryet’s new Aircode 2 yet? The nose is now more rounded, and they’ve also fixed the side Honeycomb surface that was so hard on bib shorts with the Aircode T40A/B.
The question is what the front section will be like, as it still has the Honeycomb surface — whether it will be like sandpaper on bib shorts or not. In any case, they now also offer a version with conventional foam padding.

I have the T40 on two of my bikes, zero issues with any bib damage.

It all depends on your rim/tyre combination and the resulting actual measured dimensions, i did a experiment mounting panaracer gravelking slick 38 on i29 rims -> WAM 43mm. Very little margins for mud/debree around the chainstays (~2mm) and the front deraileur were (just) touching the tyre.

I'm now running Vittoria N.EXT 34mm on i23 rims, WAM36 this leaves 6mm clearance to the chainstays.

Based on this i'd say if you are modest with the internal width (<=23-24mm) a 38mm tyre will problably be OK but if you want to be on the safe side go for 34-36mm tyres.
38 mm on the R088?! No way. Does not even clear 35mm (iw 21mm) in the front.
