Hmm yeah I probably just get a GV-201 myself. Price is a bargain, pair it up with a GRX 825 groupset. What chainrings are you guys running? Officially its 42 max in the front but i've seen people running 46? Thinking about running 2x tho. In The Netherlands, mostly flat. High speeds, much easier.

I ordered a size 54. Communication very responsive so far.

Probably better to start a new topic for this specific frame?

Might be good! :)

Thinking about what color to get and if I want the integrated HB-008 handlebar, for 80 USD extra can't really go wrong. If its not nothing, just replace it with something else. Painting fee of 100 USD is also pretty good.

I'm looking at the Lexon gravel handlebar. A guy on Chinertown used that one, looks pretty slick.

Painting fee of 100usd is very good. I will be painting it here in NL and that will cost 600eur minimum ...

The RED XPLR arrived today. I hope the frame will be shipped next week. The bottom bracket will be BBinfinite.

You are! Tideace should be very happy with you, your built and your contributions on Chinertown swayed me enough to go for the Noah 201 (still struggling how to best name this frame 😉).

Are you still happy with yours?

Too bad they dont have tax free shipping. Import duties etc easily add €250,- mehh.

What bb does the noah 201 use? T47 has several options

This was the answer by tideace:

"For the shipping, we will ship by WXY DPD to your country Germany.

It would be free for the custom tax."

BB is T47 86 so 85,5 will fit

I didn't pay any duty on mine. Luck of the draw in to the UK though. The vast majority of things I buy seem to get through clean. Anything with FedEx tends to get caught up.

Still very happy with mine although hasn't had much ride time since British gravel champs. The left crank came off (common Magene P505 issue) so waiting on a replacement preload bolt via panda podium.

Nothing wrong with pressfit as long as there's nothing wrong with the BB shell.
