Hi guys, I did not want to create similar post with the same requirement, but do you know if on chinese market exisit similar frame to Basso Astra or Diamante?
I am also looking for high stack/low reach, good looking frame, especially horizontal top tube.

Astra 51        S/R 563,4/374,5
Diamante 51  S/R 546.2/378,6

The only frame which comes to my mind is CS-R06 from Peter, but I hope you will know more 

http://www.hongfu-bikes.com/products/76.html - this is a really nice one. A bit on the expensive side though. Price quality I think you can't beat VB066.

Let's see how much this one from Peter will be. I'm curious how competitive it will be. Specs are there, design seems ok but price will determine it's success I guess in this new tariffs world

I agree, if its too pricy I will be going with velobuild 268 unfortunately.

I would wait for size 52 and combine this with a new wheelset from peter!

73deg seatpost is frustrating for those of us with short femurs! The frame looks great, but I need something steeper

Unfortunately it's even slacker for the 58! I'm not sure why frame makers do this... A tall rider ends up sitting way back over the rear wheel. Best I can hope for is an inline or forward offset seatpost, but that's not ideal.

Newbie to this thread.  I've been looking for something as close to a BMC Roadmachine geometry and this is it!  I am in for this Carbon Speed frame.  Will take a 54 as soon as it's available.

Since this isn't available, like almost everything, in proper larger sizes
Any recommendations for a 400 reach - 620 stack aero road frame?

I have to build a new bike in end of march/April.
@peter
Could you share more details on expected price and availability? I think it will be for the bigger size as my client is +1.85

@PeterXu - any updates on this frame? Looking for a size 52 with cost

I was quoted $1350 excluding shipping but including handlebar. Way to high for me to even consider.

Wow..
So we're back to square one, still no affordable option with the features lined up in the first posts

Absolutely right! Good that I didn't present it to my client yet.

This way no need for adding false hopes to him. Back to my best selling VB-066 or FM202

Peter did mention it was going to be a high end frame that won't be super cheap. Depending on the final specs, weight and looks it might be a great option.

Since we make this frameset with high standard as couple of big brands, you could tell the details when it is available, one piece mold, mixed of T1100, 40T, 30T Toray carbon fiber. latex molding etc. The price on this frameset with handlebar won't be that cheap as our previous frameset.  But would be cheaper than some other Chinese brands.

Yeah but there's middle ground between super-cheap and 1300+$

I'm not investing that kind of money in a new chinese frame, with all the flaws that a new product might have.
For that amount you can often find the BMC Roadmachine frameset on bike24, sometimes even cheaper

yeap! Indeed he did.

I believe Jeffrey, me (and virtually most of us, I'd expect), were expecting sth not that high.

$1350 is close to double the prices Carbonda for example does. And just like Jeffrey mentions we can get most of the times cheaper western frames on bike24 or other EU online websites, which have a resale value, because I believe most of the users here don't keep a bike for long/have more than one.

Anyway, nothing to cry about. Wish good luck to Peter, and we keep looking for alternatives
