Elves Eglath?

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.
