I have to do some expectation management after teasing an upcoming frame box about a month ago. I did design one and had a prototype made:




This first attempt has turned out well enough for me to fit some spares in. However, it is still a bit too flexible, so I keep it secured with ducttape. Also, it is quite expensive to print (north of 150 usd), and it is at the upper bounds of what 3D printing companies accept. Also, this first iteration does not fit perfectly onto the frame. Added that the new IAx have down tube bosses, and that different frame size have different seat tube angles (read: a lot of work to get right), I am hesitant to continue this project and making it available for people to buy.

However, if I get a few people very excited, I may consider spending more time on this. To get this to make sense for me, I'd have to sell these boxes for about 250 USD. For those still interested, send me a pm, and with enough responses I might give it a shot. Though personally, for that price, I would wait it out until Felt comes up with one of their own.

Hello,
I am probably going to buy a IA16 as my first tri bike but cannot decide what's the best size for me (54 or 56).
I am 5'11" (180cm), any advices?
Thanks.

All the 3d printed covers for the calpac are cool but I wish they were the same shape as the default cover, if not for the simple fact that it looks better.

Bonus points if it had an easy way to open so the space isn't totally lost.

I'm 5"11" and a 54 was to small for me, ended up having to get a 58 . That was an expensive mistake, I'd get a good fit so you know for sure. I have a reach of 545 and stack of 640 if that helps.

One of my seat post bolts is MIA after a race this weekend. Anyone know how to get a replacement, quickly?
