I don't know how many of our fellow forum members are thinking about going down the 32er rabbit hole.  I am torn between the 2 Tideace 32er frames.  Their new frame that this thread is about, and their 32er hartail frame FM-XC832. 

I want to try/test/use a 32er bike for:  Gravel riding, some singletrack, and Bikepacking. 

Looking at Tideace's 2 new offerings: 
1.  I like their hardtail frame because it uses 157mm rear hubs, and I have many of these hubs laying around to build a 32er wheels.
2. It appears that the hardtail frame is suspension fork compatible so that I could use a suspension fork down the road. 
3. Perhaps the hardtail will handle all of the weight loaded onto the bike when bikepacking better than the gravel frame. 
4. The gravel frame has a shorter wheelbase, and lower bottom bracket and may handle better than the hardtail.
5. I am not sure if I would need a medium 32er frame , or a large frame.  I am still comparing 32er frame to my other bike frames.

I would like to pull the trigger around the 11-11- sales for rims or wheels, and the frame.

Any input will be appreciated.

I've been waiting for the last 5 days hoping to receive some perspectives regarding the two 32er frame geometries that Tideace is offering.

I have Bike Insights open and have been comparing my current hardtail and gravel bike geometries to the FM-XC832 hardtail and the new unnamed model 32er gravel frame.   

It is appearing to me that the Tideace medium gravel frame might have a frame geometry that is closest to what I am riding in my large Spcycle M05 frame.  The M05 Spcycle frame has served me well bikepacing.

I'm interested in a 32 frame, but I'm likely going to go with a 700c next year because I figure it may take a little while for the bugs to be worked out.  I remember when 29rs became a thing and they rode badly (to me anyway) for a few years until they got the angles right.
