Yoeleo G21 gravel frame

https://www.yoeleobike.com/collections/gravel-frame/products/carbon-gravel-frame-g21

This frameset is pretty reasonably priced and comes with a standard 6 year warranty. The “artic ice” frame paint job looks fantastic.

 

Anyone have experience with Yoeleo? Initially I was concerned about the weight ~1100g frame ~450g fork but as I look around this weight seems to be pretty typical for gravel framesets. Comes with headset and carbon internal routing handlebar and stem.

 

Canyon and Rose claim that they can put together a gravel race bike within the same weight range but I don’t want to spend $5500-6500.

I’d like to put together a new gravel bike but keep the weight to ~8.2-8.5kg. Build with grx and farsports wheels, I think getting a lightish bike is possible. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks!

Looks like a nice frame from the specs and reviews (I never heard of this brand before) I do like the geo on the 60cm, usually with my height / long legs gravel bikes end up with more saddle to bar drop than a pro time trials bike.  

 

Another idea would be a direct from manufacture gravel frame/fork.  99.5% of these bikes roll off the same factory floors so why not buy your bike from the same place that brands buy their product ?   Carbonda and ICAN are two that come to mind, tons of people riding them and every possible detail has been covered online in forums and youtube so not much of a risk at this point.  

 

I have had the Carbonda 696 for several years ($650 and well over 8000 miles) the more race focused model is called the Carbonda CFR707 (at $750 or so)

Yoeleo is a well regarded brand on various anonymous interweb pagesite forumboards, but I don't have any experience with them so I have 0 personal experience 

It would be much caution or a hard no by me for brands without a well known reputation for quality and warranty. I have a lot of bias from once working in manufacturing and inspection and still having close associates in the bike industry with those responsibilities.

As an option, I just noticed that Niner has their RLT RDO framesets on sale for $1500.  RLT 9 RDO Frameset (ninerbikes.com)

I've got one of the previous generation and have been happy with it.  It's a fairly high stack/short reach which works better for me than some of the more race-oriented frames.
