Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201

[courdacier]

Gosh, just buy a short-travel XC bike/frame and put dropbars.
Once you're into real fullsus (with air shocks and forks), maintenance's not different. So why not go for a real bike specifically designed for the kind of terrain where you already need a mature suspension and big tires?

I disagree - this is essentially what Dylan Johnson built for some lifetime races last year using an Allied BC40 but with shorter, non-MTB reach.

I just ordered a frame a week ago. So not left factory yet. Did they not send you a photo of frame after painting and before dispatch? I've been emailing Jessi and she (I'm actually not sure of gender, I'm presuming she) said she would send photos after spray job, I'm hoping I can confirm mounting points at that stage before dispatch.

Hey there - did you ever get you frame shipped yet? I payed on March 24th - custom color + some wheels, and I haven't got any photos or a tracking number. Ordered from Jessie via email.
