Re: Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201 I think its closest to the Trek Checkpoint SL / SLR in terms of geometry comparison.

I pretty much disagree with every comment above regarding geometry. Its more progressive and forward leaning than a lot of other open molds, but the latest Checkpoint geo was pretty well received. This one will be a little sharper due to the higher offset fork and the BB drop is more consistent across sizes so it might feel a little more dart-y in the larger sizes. However a Checkpoint geometry without the isospeed + udh feels like a win too. Stack and reach should be pretty close to the same because Trek includes their headset cover in their geometry and this bike appears not to.

Since we are all critics, i think working the design a bit to squeeze out a couple mm of clearance in the rear would have been nice as it would have allowed for 650bx2.2 / larger 2.1s to fit more comfortably in the frame.

Overall, this would be a top candidate if i was in the market for a gravel bike.

Re: Spcycle New Mold SP-R088 Carbon Road Frame it's a clear finish, not a paint job. They usually let you choose between glossy or matte.
the glossy one lets you see all the grain of the carbon.
the matte one hides it a bit

Joe has said apparently they are cross compatible with drop-bar levers in a reply to one of the comments - this could make for an interesting gravel option then (if it's reliable...).

That's great. Since we know eGR and eR9/eRX levers are all cross compatible, it seems to indicate this is all one big, happy electronic shifting parts family. Pick an RD, pick a shifter, and have fun! Ltwoo might still have some things to work out, but I really like some of their system ideas (non-proprietary battery cells for their road units was another idea I'm a HUGE fan of).
