New G056 on it's way !    Been lurking here reading as much as I can and finally pulled the trigger on a frame. It is a Sp G056 but bought from another seller. I also have a set of Elitewheels (28mm internal with X weave pattern), an integrated bar, etc ordered but I am stumped on a groupset to choose.

 I have read of people having issues with internal cabling and mechanical groupsets but I would like to keep the cost down. At the moment I can get a new 105 2x FULL mechanical group or a Rival AXS 1x electronic group (minus crank). Unfortunately the Rival has a max cassette of a 35t. Either of these is around $1000 CDN and in stock locally.

Hello! I'm from Canada as well and quite interested with the same frame!

Can you share the link where you purchased the frameset? TIA!

This is the like to the store. Unfortunately I think I am going to have to get another as I am finding it a bit big. I am 6' tall and bought the large but I am a bit too stretched out for my liking. I did a bit more painting to mine after I got it as well. It is a great riding frame with very few issues in the build up.

Awsome paint job! Can you tell a bit more how did you make it? What was your base color?

 The bike was ordered as blue and I taped off sections using fineline and painted with epoxy paint. It looks ok from this distance but no so much close up. I also made a decal with photoshop.

Whoa, that weighs more than when I had my alloy gravel frameset!  ;D

I think it's a bit more of balancing act trying to weight weenie a gravel bike since durability and ride conditions are important factors to keep in mind. I might even consider getting an older Crux frameset at this point if I want to drop more weight.

 It's not super light by any means but most stock name brand gravel bikes are over this. What alloy bike did you have that was lighter ? I had a Trek Checkpoint that was 21 lbs. I think without any of the junk (bags, tools, spare tube, food, bottles, f & r lights, garmin, gopro etc) on there it's 18 lbs. I have a Colnago Master that is 18 lbs LOL


 You mention the Crux but where I live that bike is $10k - $15k. I have about $3500 into this with the SRAM wireless. I doubt the Crux would give me 4x as much fun.
