I want to build a gravel bike for my wife using this frame, but I'm a bit worried about the sizing.
She is 158 cm, do you reckon 49cm frame is ok (even with 70 mm stem), or still too big and I should look for something different?

Way too big, I'm 170 and have a 49

I am happy with the Lexon.

I am happy with the Lexon.

I flipped the Tideace bars and just received the Lexon. The compression ring seem to fit quite nicely to the diameter of the head tube, but I have ~1mm gap between head tube and compression ring - is that the same for you?

Also, I would prefer to slam the stem, but seems like it need the spacer with two “hooks” to fit - does anybody imagine any issues in removing two of the dots from the compression ring so the handlebar can fit directly without spacer?

 I remove those dots with a craft knife. Have done this on the few builds with 3rd party bars, they're not really necessary just help to line everything up.

Does anybody know the difference between PU+blow molding vs EPS molding? Is Tideace method better than other suppliers of this frame? Maybe they don't use EPS at all and standard bladder instead?
