Hello all!

New to posting but forever lurking and I know a topic like this is one in a million... but here we go ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I was looking at a TanTan/Seraph TT-X67 or an SPCycle R088 but reading up on TanTan has made me question that choice of vendor and I want something a bit more aero than the R088. Previously looked at a Hygge Model S and wasn't wow-ed... Quickly forgot that existed.

What choices do I have? I'm kinda set on UDH because I like the idea of it but I know this isn't that big of a development on road frames just yet... it also helps with the fact the RD-R8100 mech I have doesn't currently have a b link... So I'd like something that has compatibility with a direct mount hanger

I'm pretty smol so something that has a reach between 365-375 will do me fine and stack height of 500-515 will probably be fine too

I don't mind all rounders but I feel like aero bikes are just that bit cooler however I'm happy to be told otherwise (I.e. to suck it up and get the R088 etc)

Thanks all

what about the Spcycle 065 which is pretty similar to the Aeroad? or maybe lightcarbon newer model, LCR018-D

Ah! R065 looks pretty much perfect, outside of the lack of direct mount hanger but I'll just get a b link haha

My only worry with the LCR018 is that it won't feel like a road bike, I have a Trek Crockett for all disciplines, generally run it with 38c tyres but it never feels like my road bike does... Altho I do have a steel "race" bike which probably doesn't help

Would love to jump onto that light aero train as well. The Mondince FM126 however wont be available before next year or can it already be ordered?

This.
SL8 geometry, aero, and just decided last night, 35C for future proofing.

This looks top tier.... A bit scary with the idea of paying into an indiegogo and not via PayPal or anything but I think this wins on geometry and weight promises. Not a fan of that gold hardware tho

You can order the frame via the indiegogo link in the other topic but they are expecting delivery to be in January is what I've gathered

I asked them via whatsapp, they can also do bare titanium/black hardware

Any other (already available) alternatives to consider? :)

The XM Carbonspeed Grand Turismo is pretty light.
It's higher in price but it's on my short list.
