Men of culture,

My next road bike is probably going to look like that (I want something for the mountains), with c.50mm wheels.
Pictured, Cannondale supersix, Rose Xlite & Rose Reveal (endurance), latest Giant propel (so skinny now...), Cervelo soloist (nothing burger), Scott addict (nothing burger).
Ironically (?), i think my favourite here is between the supersix & the Rose Xlite.

Question: what are the Chinese options for similar frames? I want something that takes 32C.

Thanks!

PS: really feels like we've reached peak bike, one really needs a trained eye to tell bikes apart...

I find Lightcarbon LCR-017 to look really similar to the SuperSix.

As for the Xlite, I like Yishun R-068D:

I think we have just reached peak UCI restrictions but I have probably summoned a new level of pedantry from them..

Carbonda CFR 1056?

All bikes looked the same before the 90s, so it's nothing new.
