Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Microck Aethos clone quick review

They're calling it the Aethos 2, but it's still advertised to fit 32c tires. 35c tire clearance would really open this frame up if it could fit wider tires.

Another newly published frame from LT.
More of a lean towards "Aero" stylings for this one, it reminds me slightly of the new Mondince FM376 but it only has clearance for 50c apparently.
Not the most aggressive geo but still quite racy, apart from the seat tube angle, especially in the smaller sizes.

This one keeps up with the trend for larger tires, specified at 57c.
The geometry is more aggressive than the other models as well, Personally I quite like this one spec wise but I think that rear end looks a bit naff.

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.
