Re: Spcycle New Mold G056 Carbon Gravel Frame
Upgraded my wheels, realized I never actually posted pictures of the finished bike. This is with the new /deeper wheels, but I also have a cheaper set of 40mm Elite SLR wheels set up with more of a gravel tire. Well, it's nearly finished, I'm still waiting on new bar tape after pulling off what I used last year. Absolutely love the green/ purplish chameleon paint job, it was exactly what I had imagined it would be. Using an Ergon seatpost with a Fizik adaptive saddle, 9velo LV2.0 in 45/55mm, GP5000 STR 30mm, with a knockoff Deda Alanera integrated bar/stem. SRAM Force D1 shifters and D2 derailleurs.

Re: TanTan Seraph GR048 build
Looks great; I just ordered the SPCycle version. Could we have a build list and ride report please?

Re: Spcycle New Mold G056 Carbon Gravel Frame
I'm 185cm so I can't help you there (chose Large, for what it's worth), but I used the Wiler Jena sizing tool since the frame is pretty much identical. https://www.wilier.com/en/bikes/gravel/jena March 02, 2024, 11:43:58 AM |

Re: chinese rear gravel derailleur compatibility
The LTwoo GR9 RD is on sale right now for less than $27 USD. I'd definitely give that a shot paired to a nice set of Shimano shifters or even Sensah Team Pro shifters if on the cheap. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256803248099295.html March 04, 2024, 10:56:44 AM |

Re: Carbonda Gravel Carbon frame CFR707
- For owners, do you think size m is ok for 170 cm tall and 80 cm insteam?I'd say no. Unless you want a very relaxed position with short stem, M will be be way too big, especially tall headtube. You will surely be better on S size. March 07, 2024, 05:13:13 AM |

Re: Carbonda Gravel Carbon frame CFR707
Is it right? I always ride mtb and never teste road/gravel bike, so is quite difficult to understand geometry tableDon't worry 8 to 10 cm saddle to bar drop is pretty common for a dropbar bike. You can always add spacer if you're not supple enough to handle a road position but you can't cut a headtube^^ To me, in the case of the 707, for 170cm tall, M size is too long and too high front end. S is the better option, XS can do the job too but at the price of an agressive position which i won't recommend to a newbie. And it's be better not to get a combo handlebar as it's your first experience in dropbar bikes. March 07, 2024, 06:55:19 AM |

Re: Carbonda Gravel Carbon frame CFR707
I'm 175cm with 82cm inseam. Saddle height is usually 74.5cm. I run a M with a 90 stem and 10mm spacer which rides like an endurance bike. For gravel I'd swap to an 80mm stem. This seems fine for 3-4hr rides. For reference my road bike is a TCR with same saddle height, 100mm stem and 90mm drop to bars. A small 707 would have been fine for more speed and aggressive handling but I'm OK with a M.

Re: Carbonda Gravel Carbon frame CFR707
I wouldn't say it would be more nervous, maybe more direct. Have you compared geometry between similar bikes on Geometry Geeks? Maybe see how the 707 compares to bikes like the Revolt, Silex, Checkpoint and Diverge.
