I wanted to buy an alice frame. I wrote two emails to two contacts regarding the XL frame. No reply or other communication for three weeks. I ended up buying Singular Gryphon who responded next day. Well thank you..
I really like the fact that Pipedream has designed a bike that can truly be an adventure bike with parts bin old parts. Plus it’s not road frame sizes like many gravel bikes have small frames with ST lengths starting 500mm. Obviously Pipedream has a better look at the frame fitting for off-road. I wouldn’t mind having a fork that is 100x9mm (the old QR style) I have some custom hubs that fit with a through axle
Has the Campagnolo EKAR groupset ever been installed on this third Gen A.L.I.C.E.? I ask because the Q-factor on the EKAR crankset (145.5mm) is quite a bit smaller than the GRX Q-factor of 155'ish. Wondering if the EKAR crankset might hit the chainstays because I know you guys probably had to push the envelope widening the chainstays to get that huge 2.4 inch wheel capacity.
If there are any Pipedream employees who happen to stumble on this comment, could you tell me what frame size is shown (medium or large) on the wall behind you as you guys are doing the interview. Super interested in the bike, but trying to dial in the frame size before I order. I'm sort of 'between' the medium and large. The extreme sloping top tube makes it a tad hard to judge the frame size. The large looks like it would give more frame bag volume for bikepacking which I want. Just worried if it might be slightly too tall for someone 5 foot 10 inches; 178cm).
According to the Bikepacking website who did a recent article on this bike, their Medium sized sample bike with a GRX groupset weighed about 25 pounds even. Not sure what the frame and fork weigh alone.
This is the mountain bike lovers road bike. Shed the power meter and all the other bullshit and go out and ride to truly enjoy yourself in the great outdoors. Stop looking to your right and looking to your left and worrying about what the other guy is doing.Just go at your own pace smell the flowers and get on with it, mate.

Is it possible to fit an Rohloff gear hub to it?
Looks lovely!
I need this in my life...
