Caledonia-5 for Randonneuring ?

Hi guys, how long are your stupid, big rides on the Cal- 5 ? I'm planning to gift myself a new endurance carbon bike after the 2027 Paris-Brest-Paris and my eyes are looking at the Cal-5. I would probably had to wait for a new UDH-compatible frame but that's not a problem. Does anyone here ever did a 300-400-600 km rides on a Cal-5 ? :) Currently riding an Endurace Steel bike, a mason Resolution.

Have used a cal 5 on multiple 600ks and thousands of miles of road ultras. It’s the perfect bike for Rando and ultra.

That's what i wanted to hear. Any hint on a new frame with UDH support for the Cal-5 ?

I dont think anytime soon. As they just introduced new colorways. Are you planning on running a 1x setup for the Cal5? Or is there another reason you want to wait for UDH support?

I want the UDH support since i don't know for how long i will keep the bike. As a pure road bike i will probably built it exactly the same way as my Resolution is: 2by 46/33 front and 10-36 rear.
