I hope the surprises are good ones! Keep us updated. I'm currently tossing up between this and the SP Cycle 068 (2023 Canyon Grail clone). What gearing do you think you'll go with on the EGR?

I've gone 40t front, 11-46 back. I considered a 11-50 to push it, but figured I'd stay in range and see how it feels.
Is the difference from the 68 to the 56 just the UDH hanger? I haven't compared.

Bought from the same store a couple months ago. The only problems I had were wrong bolts for the front mech hangar, the threads on the BB had to be chased as the shells would not thread in very far and the rear hangar bent on a mild strike but one was ordered from elsewhere on AliExpress as Surprise store was no help at all.
Price was great and shipping was surprisingly fast. I found the large I ordered was a little too long in the reach but compensated with a 80mm stem. FWIW I am 6' tall. It rides very well and quite fast for what it is.

GR056 is based on a Wilier Jena.
GR068 is based on the (2023) Canyon Grail (with some minor changes).

Good to know, I'm 6' as well and went with the medium as the geo is closer to my road bike, felt like the right fit. What kind of tooling do you use to chase those threads? I used a small file to clean up the threads on the last frame I ordered, but without an actual thread tapper or something, wondering if there's a better technique.
