Love that champagne gold color.


I am 189cm with 90,5cm inseam and decided to go with the 58. Since I see a couple of you guys with only a few centimeters less going with 54 I am starting to question my decision.

Your inseam is way longer than the guys who are 'sizing down'.  Unless you're extremely flexible, 58 is likely right for you.

Re: Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201 Pardon the mess. I'm currently still building my GR201, while simultaneously stripping down old bike to be sold off. The build is almost finished. Just have bleed the brakes and mount my gravel wheels/tires.

For anyone thinking about getting this frame, please be extremely cautious with your sizing consideration. I mounted road wheels to the frame to offer a visual comparison against my road bikes.

Left: GR201 (172.5 cranks, size 54, 110mm stem)
Middle: Polygon Helios (172.5 cranks, size 56, front end set up more for endurance, 140mm stem)
Right: Tarmac SL8 (170 cranks, size 56, 140mm stem, raised saddle and handlebars to compensate shorter cranks.)

As you can see even with 15mm of spacers the GR201 is only barely even at the front end. The shallower drops will compensate. Also too the bottom bracket drop on this frame is much deeper/than a standard road bike by at least 10mm. Is in reality the saddle to bar drop isn't as extreme.

Re: Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201 Let me know what you think  I have enjoyed my @canyon Grizl for three years and I will certainly continue to do so. But the Grizl is an all-rounder that does not excel in pure speed. That's why I decided to build a new gravel bike.

After an extensive search for a suitable gravel frame, I came across @Tideace. They have been supplying very nice gravel and road frames for years and the N.O.A.H. gravel immediately caught the eye. A modern geometry with a robust look.

Build the complete bike last week and today the first test ride. First feeling: "how fast and direct this bike is". I'm completely turned now! This is what I am currently looking for in a gravel bike.
I will share som building tips on my Instagram account. @cyclewithjouke in the weeks.

Below you will find the complete setup:

Frame: @Tideace NOAH
Handlebar: Lexon Unox 40cm gravelbar
Wheels: @zipp 303 s XPLR
Tyres: @Goodyear 45mm XPLR slicks
Groupset: @Sram XPLR
Front chainring: 40t @alugear
OSPW: @Novaride
Saddle: @prologo Scratch M5 Nack (Carbon)
Pedals: @Garmin rally

Re: Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201 I finally completed the build of my TanTan GR201
The complete build has been 8,670 kg (pedals included) and this is the whole setup:
- TanTan GR201 frame with seat post kit, integrated handlebar and thru axles. Chameleon white color.
- Easedon wheels 40mm front profile / 45 mm rear profile, 27mm internal width and Pillar Wing 20 spokes.
- Sram Red E1 levers and brakes
- Sram Force cranks with powermeter. Garbaruk 42T chainring
- Sram GX T-Type rear derailleur
- Sram X0 T-Type cassette and chain
- Pirelli Cinturato Gravel M 45mm front tire
- Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RC 45mm rear tire

I am very happy with the final weight, keeping in mind that due to area in which I live (Alpujarra in Andalucía, Spain) the terrain demands wide tyres and high knobs at least in the sides of  the tires.

The mullet development is also something that suits my area a bit, where there are very, very hard and very long climbs. Perhaps for those with more legs or those who live in a less mountainous area, they can opt for the new 13-speed Force XPLR that is supposed to be released in spring.

I can't train because I'm recovering from an operation, but today I went out for a ride with it and the truth is that the sensations are very good. The bike seems agile and is very, very comfortable.

Re: Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201 Welcome to the club. I ended up changing the bar against one from Speeder Cycling.

You have several options:
a) I assume you are using the black c ring delivered with the handlebar. You can change it against the silver one delivered with the frame. That fixes the moving fork as it compresses also from the front. But you will end up in a large gap between headset and top cap. You can either sand down the top cap or (as I did for another frame) glue on a round piece of universal rubber seal under the top cap to close the gap.

b) The FSA ACR 55R headset sits nice in this frame. No gap between top cap and headtube. Also the top cap follows the form of the headtube. The only issue is that every Chinese handlebar uses its own style of spacer/nut combination. So you need a transition spacer from FSA ACR to the tideace ones (3d printed or you have to glue an FSA spacer and a tideace together).

c) Buy a new handlebar with better quality :-)

Re: New VeloBuild gravel race frame in the works... Nice!

1. T47 or BSA bottom bracket
2. Clearance for 50-53c tires
3. Traditional round seatpost. Option for 0 and 20mm setback
4. UDH
5. Option to route hydraulic cables externally. Through the side of the fork and an entry point though the downtube.
6. Mounts for fenders
7. FSA headset standard
8. Two independent bolts saddle clamp design
9. Bottom bracket height between that of a traditional gravel frame and CX frame.
10. Included hardware to run cables through the headset top cap port, similar to FSA No.69 system.

You seem to have a pretty strong opinion on geometry. Knowing it’s a mix of matter of taste, physical preconditions, riding style, etc., what Frame would you recommend/ride yourself?

I just bought the Tideace and I can confirm that it is a sporty/race seating position but I think it’s quite nice to ride (tested it only for 30km so far.)

Half the point in building a bike (at least for me) is to build one with geometry which suits my liking/riding.
And for a race road bike - it would (in my opinion) be ok with low stack, and a more aggressive positioning. But for anything else - leasure rides, communting, or a bit harsher terrain i think it is always better to have a bit more relaxed position - doesnt give neck problems in the long run, and better control in rowdy terrain. Actually for gravelbike in general i think ultra low stack is never needed.
The same applies to headtube angle - that is also to personal liking... i think 71-72 is great for the type of riding i like and mostly do - if you go harsher terrain i understand you go down to maybe 70. If more than that is needed, we are into MTB territory imo.
This is just my opinion, nothing else. And as said, stack is always fixable with spacers - but i would rather look at another frame with more stack.
Both frames does have it's positives and drawbacks - but for me, GV201 does have the biggest drawbacks of the two.

lidation who started the thread asked for opinions, and the above are my opinions.
