I have the same frame, and have had big issues with the seat post clamp. The wedge that came with my frame had a smaller radius that the seat post, which caused the edges to dig into the carbon post, breaking it. I've sanded down the radius and use an alloy post now, but it's still not ideal. I've raised this with Tantan, but haven't received a reply in a month.

How does yours look?

[jmullo]

How does yours look?

Didn't really look if the radius matches. I have to check.

Still two months of winter & snow before I get to ride outside...

Can I ask if you have yet received the frame from Spcycle and everything is ok?
thanks

Not yet! It is supposed to arrive in the UK on the 25th March....that will be nearly two months from ordering a standard paint colour (turquoise).  At least SP have been responsive on Ali Messenger and I have bought frames from them before so am not fretting too much.

The tracks, roads and trails round me are so water-logged still that it probably hasn't impacted my riding too much.  I'll post some pics as soon as it arrives.

The build will be:

GRX800 1x
ElitaOne post (120gr after cutting down) & saddle (120gr)
80mm Uno stem
180gr Compact carbon road bar
Handbuilt Novatec/Sapim/Pacenti 25s I have hanging around from a commuting build
Silly light rotors from Ali Express
Panaracer GK SK43 run tubeless
XTR SPDs

....an probably some heavy-ass mudguards for most of the year.

Interested to see if it is actually any faster than my SPCyles M-05 XC hardtail with 2.35 Thunder Burt/Racing Ralph combination on milder trails.  This is going to be a winter build in due course so it doesn't really matter! I suspect I know the answer though: it won't be any faster....not that it matters.  Who wants to be first home anyway - particularly when 75% of my rides are solo.

Thanks for informations.
Do you buy the frame from aliexpress or directly in Spcycle site?
There are some differences?
Thanks

There's like 5mm gap between the chainstay and the chain (on the upper pulley), when B-tension is set correctly. If that's what you meant?

What I meas is if with small chainring the chain is close to the lower chainstay in the front of rear triangle, just near the chainring.

Don't quite get how it could be too close there
