Spcycle New Mold G068 Carbon Gravel Frame

Yes - it is a blanking plate for the FD mount.

Hey all what the heck is up with the sizing difference between the G068 and the G058? Is bikeinsights accurate? If so the G068 is stretched out to Taiwan and the G058 is a beach cruiser.

Don’t compare size-for-size between the 068 and other frames, since spcycle copied the Grail size nomenclature which runs WAY bigger than almost any other brand (for example, my road frame is a 56 cm Tarmac, and I’m comfortable on a size S 068). If you know the 058 would fit, then go through the list of 068 sizes to find a more accurate match.

Good point in dub wide. It does have more clearance than the pes version.

I have pes on the way, will update here if it fits with T47 BB

Please keep us posted on this. I'm interested in this frame, but would really like to move my PES over to it.

Frame just arrived. I've tried putting in the BB and fitted the PES Magene onto it. Everything seems to be working fine. Crank was rotating freely.

Do note that I only did a quick test fit, seems adding a bit extra spacer on the drive side will help add clearance in case of mud or dirt.

Btw, anyone know what's the strange part in the bag for? It has the word DS068 labeled on it. Seems like a bending tool for hoses?

I'm also tempted to replace the headset Clamp. Anyone had issues with the default one?

That’s the seatpost wedge, very crucial! Put it in before the seatpost, with the front of the frame tipped down so the wedge doesn’t fall into the seattube.

nice to hear, that it is likely to fit. Could you give some feedback after your final installation? Especially on the alignment from the middle to the left and right crankarm. not that it fits, but then is outside the middle position because of added spacers and eventually doesn't fit anymore after fitting some spacers on the left side for compensation.

As Magene powermeter did not fitted my G068, I used Magene Zrace variant, which costed me a bit more, but provides me with a lot of clearance. Also Xcadey PMs seem to fit this frame better.

Ordered the frame in Size S with metallic paint today, excited

[JalopnikGo]

Does anyone have a picture of the left hand side of the built bike? I'm curious whether the front brakes are able to be internally routed or it's only external?

Looking at my fork, the entrance for the hydraulic tubes seems to be below the inner part of the steerer tube.

edit:
Seem's i made a mistake ordering the 'semi-internal' version of the bike  . Any advice on whether it's possible to make it internal? or i need to live with it?

Ordered this frame in pearl white and received it before the holidays.
Everything looks great over a quick inspection. Minor excess paint on caliper bolt mounts that I was able to remove easily with just an Xacto knife.

Bottom bracket went in smoothly.

I’ll update with my build details, weights and pictures.

For now I wanted to share that I fitted the Bontrager RCS stem and headset cover and it seems to fit perfectly on this frame using the provided metal c-ring and the Bontrager cover.

Hopefully should have my frame to build up in the next week or so and looking at cranks I see that the Red XPLR that is on the Canyon bikes has a 47.5mm chain line. I will be running XDR Cassette 10-44 and a 1x 44 or 46T up front. There are some good deals on standard DUB road cranks around me, can I go with them on this frame or should I run DUB wide? I may be installing a SRAM spider power meter at some stage.
