I'm a bit taller, have long legs as well and rode the Lightcarbon LCG071-D last two years. It suited perfect for any type of gravel riding since 50c tires fitted. Now I bought the new carbonda 505sl frame since even the lightcarbon had a bit too much stack (626mm) for me. This frame has 42mm tire clearance and is a tod closer to my road bike geometry.TidyDinosaur wrote: ↑Sun Jan 28, 2024 12:10 pmYou're probably better off asking this question on chinertown.com. There are some real open mold frame specialists thereTerrapin wrote: ↑Sun Jan 28, 2024 9:32 amHello everyone,
I am 1.90 m tall and have a inseam of about 93 cm. I ride a Carbonda 696 in 61 and a Sworks Tarmac Sl6 in 61, but I would like to convert my 696 into a commuter bike and build a cyclocross bike as a replacement. So what I want is a high stack (min. 615 mm), short reach, short wheelbase.
Do any of you have a tip on a suitable frameset for me? (Reliable/well-known manufacturers preferred)

Got pics of that setup? I'm similar dimensions and looking to expand into a gravel bike! Building a chinese open old up seems perfect.
Anyone that has a carbonda CFR707 with 400 or 450mm saddle post and can tell me the max saddle height on XL or XXL frame?

I have 15000km on the provided headset. My LBS said it was reasonable quality when he built it up njoss wrote:What headset would be suitable for a Carbonda 696?
They offer one for $12 but I can imagine this would be crap?!

Does anyone know where I could get the seatpost wedge for a FM1186 or CFR707 frames. I'm actually after a vitus venon 2023 one but wiggle are gone so need to source one elsewhere. The frame looks the same as those bikes
Thanks
Thanks
