Title: New xc hardtail
Post by: malmis on September 05, 2023, 12:40:58 AM

Hi guys! I’m new here, but let me start by saying, fantastic forum!

My previous bike got stolen, so for my next bike, I’m planning to build it my self.
I’m going for a 1x12 system, either the Slx or the GX eagle.
I had the Nxeagle on my last bike. And I thought it performed well.

So I’m going to use the bike for training and marathon races.

I need so advice on choosing the frame? There is a lot to choose from, there is a carbon jungle out there :p

I’m 1.75cm, and around 78kg

I think your post is a little vague and would benefit from a few details that would benefit what people recommend. If you're looking to do marathons on it then I guess you want something with a steeper headtube angle and preferably on the lighter side, too?

I appolagise for the vague post. I was exited buying the frame so i went for the SP -M06  https://www.sp-cycle.com/spcycle-2023-new-t1000-carbon-mountain-bike-frame-udh-hanger-12x148mm-boost-full-internal-routing-29er-mtb-carbon-frame-p5026610.html

It looks pretty much alike the new Scott Scale, and the angles are the same.

It is indeed. I am waiting for them to release the L size... let us know what you think when you receive it.
what fork will you fit on it? I just got a reba RL for my build

It will be either the Reba or the Marzocchi Bomber z2.
What kind of wheels are you fitting?

Good choice of frame. I am going to buy an SPCycle frame soon, their lightest one for a weight weenie build. Depending on your budget, you can build a 29er wheelset for about £550-600 thats about 1020g or less. I saw a deal on some J-bend extralite hubs so they're on the way and I'll gets rims when budget allows.

Defo add pics as you go because I may consider this frame too! excited to see the outcome and your build choice :)
