I am also in the boat many of you who prefer the 505 over 696 and 707. As a smaller rider, the 48cm 505 was perfer geometry for me. The smallest size in the 696 is too big and the 707 is even bigger and longer. Sadly my…

Just an update. my bike is still being built. I am waiting on a disc brake adapter as the brakes i got aren't compatible with the frame unforunately. Do anyof you know what adapter I need?

I am 5'3". wasn't sure if that was directed towards me. But hope that helps. Go with the Carbonda. It is a really nice frame. I'm glad I did. It's being worked on currently still so I hope to have an update for you guys…
Does anyone have this frame? http://www.ebay.com/itm/700C-Carbon-Gravel-Bike-Frame-12-142-Disc-Brake-Flat-Mount-for-700C-40C-/152424772780?hash=item237d3974ac:g JsAAOSwo4pYM-Di Geometry looks almost identical to the…
My Mistake, the frame size is actually 48, not 47. My Trek Emonda is 47 and my Cervelo S5 is 48. Available Sizes:48/51/54/57/60cm http://www.carbonda.com/road/gravel/cfr505.html Also, I think there is definitely more…
oh yeah, the frame size is 45cm. the smallest available. I don't think frame size will make much difference between sizes though. maybe 50-100 grams at the most.

Hey guys. I got my frame a while back and am getting everything together before I drop it off at the bike shop to get it built up. I was going to wait until it was complete before I posted about it but since some of you…
Dropping price to $1200. Need to sell this.

You're right probably we'll see more of these in the next coming months as companies are adapting to the demand of lower gearing for adventure or gravel riding. On the next to the top Felt VR in the line up, there is a…
Are those sub-compact cranksets available for purchase nowadays? I see them on FSA's site, but I don't know if they are available for sale. I asked bike shops and doesn't look like they can get them.
I need to get a pair of 700c disc wheels and considering a pair of reputable chinese brands like Hone Fu, Deng, Fu, Yoeleo, farsports, etc. So many options but not sure what to do with. Anyone here have any good…
What do you guys think of the new Felt VR? It's not necessarily a gravel bike, but more of an adventure bike. Apparently has clearance for 35mm tires and comes with a 46/30 sub-compact crankset and an 11-32 cassette.…
