My first 'Brand New' carbon bike! Most of the parts are brought over from the Polygon Helios 600 and Custom Ti Bike.

The following is its geometry:
Carbon Frame Size: 50cm
Material: carbon (12K)
Top tube: 525mm
Head tube: 125mm
Head tube angle: 69.5 °
Seat tube angle: 73.7 °
Standover: 728mm
ChainStay: 406mm
BB Width: 68mm
BB type: English Thread
Seatpost size: 31.6mm
Seat Post Clamp: 34.9mm
Derailleur Mount: Band Mount
Headset size: 1 1/8" Internal
Weight : 1050g + Fork 350g.

Was lucky that the glossy-ness of the frame goes well with the Bar, Stem and Post. Red anodized Seat Clamp and Wheel's hub doesn't spoil the overall appearance of the bike. Despite of the 74.5 deg Seat Tube Angle, the 2.5cm setback, pushed the angle back to a 72 deg. Same as my custom Ti Bike.
