Second post like this, but thought a separate thread would be worthwhile. Anyone with experience with the Eglath? I think it's a really good looking frame, listed as their all rounder but not a single mention on the forum. Maybe too milquetoast ... not light enough, not aero enough?

Anyway, thoughts or full build pics would be appreciated!

Strongly advise to check the geometry first. After I got that, decided in favor of Ican A9. Quote for that painted in chameleon color was 170 USD extra.

What was it about the geometry you didn't like? I realize they are definitely a "size down" but the proportions don't seem off and about 73 parallel is pretty neutral for an all around race frame. Am I missing something? It's very, very possible!

Yes, I ment that "size down" plus very low bigger end, especially if you need 58-60 frame. I needed a racy 54cm, and the stack was too high for my liking

Got it. Its on the cusp for me. Probably a month or so until I pull the trigger on something so I've got ruminating time left!

did you pull the trigger?
Looking at this more recently after stacking up a list and prices. I'm between the eglath and the FM1136-SL at the moment.  Price to door will be similar after paint and shipping with the carbonda/flybike, with carbonda probably a bit higher.

Did not. Still in analysis paralysis! I think if Elves had another size up it would be a no brained for me ... their paint schemes are awesome, I think. Anyway ... I'm sure I'll decide one day.

What size are y'all considering?

I'm 5'7" (inseam of 32") thinking about 52.

Can't comment on the new geo, but I have the OG version and I am 5'11" and ride a 53.
