Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201

[MongooseMan]

Did 100mile gravel race on the bike yesterday. Held up really well over some pretty rough corrugated roads. Hard to tell, but I suspect the 2.1 tyres helped more than the cheap gravel suspension fork.

I put the stock fork on this morning and the bike feels a lot better now (slightly slacker, so less twitchy with no toe overlap. And also no “squish”, which I prefer). And, obviously, much lighter.

Had to do a bit of a bodge with the brake hose, since I specifically want the ability to swap forks without rerouting cables. Seems ok, if a little fugly.

AHHHH! That's what those screws on the fork are for! Finally solved!

Hi All! Will these thru axles fit my fork and frame? Length, diameter, length and thread pitch?

[SillyMochi]

Probably not. Iirc the pitch for the fork is 1.5mm; the rear pitch depends on your UDH. Mine will come with a 1.0 pitch but other factories might send other UDH. I don't have the frame yet, so you either wanna confirm with the factory that you bought from or someone else who has the frame already.

Im using that rear axle, seems good, maybe could be 1-2 mm longer but didnt look too closely, seemed to be enough thread engaging

My frame arrived yesterday and I really love it. Still waiting for my wheels.
However, when I put in one of my old wheels yesterday, it seemed to be out of center. The distance between wheel and chain stay is about 3 mm less on the drive side. Did someone have the same problem?

Hey! I can finally post my Tideace Noah too

Frame : Size 49 (I'm 173cm / Inseam 80 / Saddle height 69cm for reference)
Color : Matte metallic purple without any logos. I don't have a color code, i just pointed to one of their instagram post and said "i want that please"
Groupset : Shimano GRX 820 front and rear derailleurs (2x12s) / GRX 610 for the hoods and crankset / GRX 400 for the brake calipers (boooo) and a 105 12s road cassette 11-34
Cockpit : Lexon Unox 90/380 mm with 15mm of spacers
Pedals : Shimano XT
Seatpost : Still playing with setback/no setback, for now it's a cheap Neatt Carbon
Saddle : Prologo Dimension NDR
Tyres : The brand new Hutchinson Caracal in 45mm
Wheels : Some cheap heavy OEM Felt rims with entry level Shimano hubs
Top tube bag : Cervelo Smartpack
Weight : 9.45kg as pictured (without the bottles and gps)

I was riding a Felt Breed 30 in size 54 and it was a bit on the bigger side and too upright for my liking. Decided to jump on the Tideace wagon for something more agressive. And boy, people didn't lie : it's a loooong boy lol. Still, it's a very comfy ride yet the frame is quite stiff and very responsive. There's some slight toe overlap with my size 40 shoe and 172.5mm cranks, but only at some weird ankle angle. Nothing that will make crash while riding or stop me from turning the front wheel.

All in all it took 1 month for the frame to arrive here in France (Order placed 3rd April, delivered May 7th). Great communication with Eddy, except that i asked for the cover to be painted too and he forgot to tell me before shipping that they couldn't paint a matte finish onto the plastic. Had to pay for a new cover with a glossy finish, i'll try to make it work somehow.

Already clocked 350km on a mix of road, farmland trail and wide forest road and it's been a blast so far. Now i'm just waiting Shimano to release the wireless XTR/XT groupset (and maybe GRX?) because i'm not touching those mechanical cables internally routed anymore, that was not fun AT ALL, can't recommend lol. Will get a real wheelset too at the end of the month, i can feel that right now it's dragging the bike down.

Can't attached the picture, so here's a link :

I really like the features of this frame (tire clearance, mounting points, internal storage) but I'm looking for something with less aggressive geometry. Any suggestions?

[SillyMochi]

Lol before I opened the image in full size, I thought you went with some crazy 4-spoke carbon wheels

2nd lol on that wahoo case

How do you like the handlebars? Good fit?
