Spcycle New Mold G056 Carbon Gravel Frame

[jcr]

Do people prefer to run separate bar and stem or the integrated? I was thinking mechanical 2x for it so maybe separate would be easier to route?

Also I am 188cm and normally riding a 58cm frame... looking at the number not sure if L would be on the short side.

just received 2 G056 frames from sequel bike store, one size XS and other one S
i'm building it with sensah GRX hdr 12 speed and one with flat bar for my gf.
pics soon

Was wondering if you have any feedback on how hard it is to do the routing for mechanical groupset? Did you go with the integrated bars or a 2 piece bar?

Summer deal was too tempting not to take a swing on the "Ceccotti" version of this frame w/o handlebars (450 shipped after codes and coupons) in this nice powdered blue from the "Surprise Store" lol.



Added on an elitewheels 35x30 ratchet wheelset and the l-twoo egr.

Whole build should come to like ~$1500 USD with everything net new sourced from Ali.

Will update.

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.

 I cleaned them up as best I could and borrowed a proper tap. I have also read that freezing the cups can make the install easier as well.

I've never heard that, care to elaborate a bit more? What would you freeze, the BB cups? Curious.

 Yes, the cups. Makes them a contract a little making threading a easier. I do the opposite (heating) when installing bearings in cups.

How fast was surprisingly fast? I’ve got 28 items shipped, 2 waiting… let’s check!

Damnit, two pretty essential parts haha.

Frame was 13 days and my Elitewheel order was just short of 2 months. I was getting nervous because they asked twice to extend delivery time but they eventually did come. VERY happy with the wheels.
