Hi everyone,
I'm planning a gravel bike build for daily commuting (~30 km one-way).
I take the train in the morning and ride the bike home in the evening – so it needs to be:

• Durable (for regular train transport and daily use)
• Capable of carrying cargo
• Reliable for real-world commuting

I already have wheels, crankset, drivetrain etc. from another project – just looking for the right frame.

---

What I'm looking for:

• Frame size: L / 56–58 cm
• Geometry: Similar to Specialized Diverge Comp E5 (in 56)
• Seat tube angle: 73.5°–74° (based on bike fitting)
• Cargo mounts: For racks/luggage
• Standards: Thru-axles, flat mount, clearance for wide gravel tires
• System weight: Should support up to ~120 kg (rider + bike + cargo)
• Budget: Moderate (the bike will be parked at work)
• Import: Open to direct import – shipping to Germany

---

I'm especially interested in hearing from people using their frames for real-world commuting,
not just weekend gravel rides.

Would love to hear about your experience with:

• Suitable frame models
• Manufacturers
• The import process (customs, communication, quality, etc.)

Thanks in advance!
Cheers,

You can have a look at carbondas frames and see if you can get your geometry and other wishes.

Also..
Check out the German mtb news. There's a bunch of real world users riding their carbonda frames.


Legit, durable,  and in case something goes wrong (e.g shipping damage) they are also very customer oriented. 

My 505 is my daily commuter since 20000 km now.
Around me a couple of people followed my footsteps.. so some commute/ Gravel carbonda bikes popped up in my surrounding.  So far everyone is happy with their choice.

Highly recommend the Carbonda CFR 707.
