Hello everyone,
looking for alternatives to the 505 SL Frameset. + Carbonda is overpriced for what it is nowadays (shipping + Paypal fee + paypal crappy currency exchange rate + customs).
My favourite geo would be the 696 but not keen on the weight and the super sloping top tube.
The biggest problem seems to find a frame that does allow for 2x mechanical shifting and that does not have a crazy tire clearance (I ride 35mm)
Frames I have lookend into so far:
Longteng LTK028 - Front center too long at 620mm
Tantan GR040 - too heavy at 1200g
Tantan GR039, Tantan GR060, Light Carbon LCG071 - not bad but I do not trust long term durability of those seat post tubes.
Currently riding the Cube Cross Race SL (aluminum frame) in size 56. Their current carbon offerings dont allow for 2x mechnical + geo has gotten weird.
Basically looking for a CX carbon Frameset at or under 1100g in size 56. Threaded BB, round seatpost tube and 2x mechanical setup.
(Wheelbase should be 1025mm or longer). Tire clearance nor more than 42.
Any ideas appreciated, thanks!
