Kinesis Athein Evo Frame set?

[Nytsom]

Hi All,
I'm thinking of buying a Kinesis Athein Evo Frame Set; they get excellent reviews; but, I read that the front mech position will only accommodate a 52/36 chain set; and I wanted to use a compact 50/34 C/Set on the frame.
Does anyone know if this is correct or can a 50/34 be used on the frame? I cannot find anything about it on the Kinesis Web-site.

I can't see it being a problem (the compact is almost identical to the semi compact) I swapped quite often on my Kinesis Gran Fondo and have never come across that problem on any other frame but as Vickster says just give them a quick call to get a definitive answer

Just spoke to Kinesis; and they confirmed that the Athein Evo frame is designed for a 52/36 chain set and above.
