Stumbled on this through FB and it looks like Carl is up to some really cool stuff.

Best of luck to them.

I met Carl at Dave's GdB years ago and he's a super-nice guy.

I've been following this project for close to a year now. He is definitely not rushing it to market and appears to be taking a very methodical approach. I wish him luck in a very tough market space.

I wonder how he will differentiate the product from his existing offerings and the plethora of carbon competitors?

Not that I'm in the market, but there ARE people out there shorter than 5'9:

M

And taller than 6’2”...

Which isn’t a complaint. They’re just getting started and can’t do a 20 increment size run like Colnago.

A true road bike that fits 32mm tires, smart use of titanium inserts, and a killer blue color? Perfect. Make mine with record 12, ti post, ti stem, deda shallow bars, white industries hubs, and some 32-35mm deep carbon rims.

I perused the site but don’t see any info about the frameset other than a 3D rendering and there’s no pricing or timeline information. Trying to sell mystique perhaps? One of the many things I like about Carl’s work is that his own-brand website goes further forward transparency than many.

You guys did see this page, right?

Scroll down to the bottom for sizing/geometry. Those pictures in the circles are photos of actual frames (the red and blue ones).
