Hi There,

I also purchased one of this, I hope they fixed the problems with SRAM derailleur installation and brake caliper placement they had in some other designs.

Does this geometry resembles an existing bike so I can check sizing?
It looks like Trek Roscoe

I'm glad that there are some hardtails topics among lots of FS frames. I started to think about HT to be faster option to my FM936 on less technical courses. I'm looking forward to hear some reviews from you guys on the SP-M048.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it just the m030 model with T47 bottom bracket and 52/52mm headset + fancy-shmancy clean look stealth cable routing? Speaking of which, the original m030 was designed for a 52mm chainline and can only fit 34T (or you optionally go to 55mm adjustment and 38T with all that entails), based on the info I got from Spcycle Store on aliexpress.

Indeed they looks the same in terms of geometry. T47 for me is an upgrade, but full internal cables routing is a downgrade (to me) due to forced higher handlebar position. I want it low :) I'm curious about the max chainring size, but if in real it is like they say, it is not for me.

Another update from another store on aliexpress. FINTOWON BIKE this time with Winow frames. They have a similar to M030 (and M048) frame which is MF699. The guy told me that it was originally meant to be with a 52mm chain line and a max 36T chainring without magic.

Looks nice, pity they opted for BB92 instead of BSA or t47 :( but it ticks many boxes and does not have the silly internal routing of the m48.

They have it available with T47 also.

STAY AWAY FROM SPCYCLE.

I ordered a frame, it took 3 months to arrive and it arrived with the wrong color and a defective bottom bracket thread. It had paint on the inside and one of the thread was wrongly made.
I tried to contact them several times and no answer at all. I decided to try to solve myself and brought the frame to one of the most famous bikeshop in my city (Madrid).
They made a even worse mess of the frame, they told me that the thread was done but in the process they damaged the bottom bracket and also the paint of the frame...
Now I have 500 usd less and I am angry as hell!!!!!!

Fellow Spaniard here.

I am so sorry this happened to you. Did you speak already to someone in AliExpress? Maybe with expensive products it is different, but I usually have good luck dealing with them

I tried that when my OG-Evkin frame turned out to be a piece of crap. You can probably forget about any real support from Aliexpress after the 14 days have past...

That's screwed indeed.
But why didn't you open a dispute? The seller doesn't provide you with after-sell support/warranty and ghosting you, so you have nothing to lose already. You could request a refund for the wrong color and defective BB thread. Now since you mentioned that you already got extra damage from home service, it probably could be a bit more challenging to state your point but still doable for a color refund at least.

hi assembled frame, I can only express the lack of professionalism of the seller and the total disinterest of Aliexpress which does not respond to the continuous emails I sent, I advise you to look for another probable and better certified brand

What happened? Something wrong with the frame?

in the description in large letters it was indicated that customs was included in the transport costs in EU countries, complete with photos and logos, when the frame arrived I had to pay almost the same amount paid for the frame, obviously the seller took off from any responsibility because as in all non-transparent contracts it was indicated that if you use the Aliexpress courier you are at your expense, the thing that left me speechless is that Aliexpress didn't even comment on my complaints and calmly rejected my refund request , the seller strangely modified the pages by removing images and references to the fact that customs costs were not paid, so let's say that seriousness is not part of this system

Is well now that if you select the Aliexpress shipping method the item has to pay taxes. For avoiding taxes the normal thing is to sellect seller shiping method, these way the packet enter EU by Luxemburg and taxes are avoided.
This is for all aliexpress items, not only for frames

à mon sens, ils auraient dû nous indiquer et nous informer précisément à ce sujet, au prix que j'ai payé j'aurais certainement eu un cadre mieux fini

I´m already waiting for paypal response, the seller was SPCYCLE itself and they only offer me a new frame if I pay for the shipping again (140 USD), I think that´s too much for a 300 USD product and no warranty about the frame, if it comes wrong again, should I pay again for the shipping...it makes no sense at all.
Also I contacted the seller since the arrival of the wrong color and damaged thread, but the seller told me to install the bottom bracket more than once, of course it was not possible due to the wrong thread I went to a professional workshop to have a letter from them, so I bet no warranty is void whatsoever.
It´s a pity because if the manufacturer want to grow it´s a good opportunity to show that they warranty their products.
The seller is registered in chinertown and telling that they will fulfill its warranty obligations, but not the case for me it seems, if they decide to do so I will inform you all.
