Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Spcycle New Mold G068 Carbon Gravel Frame

Yeah, I installed the blanking plate already. In addition to that, there's a port for a mechanical FD cable. I plugged it with a silicon grommet now, I guess it's fine.

Just got my frame. Looks great, the UD glossy finish I ordered actually looks sick IMHO! All looks good so far. For the record: frame weighs around 1110 g in size S without thru axle and UDH (but with all the bolts), fork 500 g without axle. Lighter than advertised, probably due to the minimal finish.

I wonder how you people dealt with the front derailleur cable hole on 1x setups? And similarly, what about the extra hole for Di2 cable at the back?

How long did shipping via DPD/WXYEXPRESS to Europe (Germany) take for you? I recently ordered the frameset and was surprised, SPcycle was really quick in getting it shipped, just took a couple of days.

The frames might use the same mold, but they are not the same. They aren't even the same if they are in fact produced in the same factory. Finish, accessories and most importantly QC can be quite a bit different. TanTan has a reputation to lose, after all.

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Need help deciding a gravel frame: SPcycle G069 vs. Tideace GV201 Noah

Yeah, the ultra low stack of the Tideace frame doesn't make any sense and makes it a no-go IMO. It's like a race road bike! You will probably need a huge spacer tower (which is a bad idea with carbon steerers) and it will still be aggressive.

10 mm more chainstay length on its own are not going to dramatically change handling.

I wonder if it has super weird geometry like most Elves frames. :)

I mean if you're buying for aero, you really shouldn't be going for a tarmac

Well Tarmac is supposed to be a do-it-all. It has some aero optimizations, but it's also very lightweight, etc. The "speed sniffer" on its own probably is more of a marketing gimmick still.

Component Deals & Selection / Re: integrated handlebar with mild exotropism? 4-5 cm flare?

I'd like to bump this! Any news? It's really unfuriating how only those more extreme gravel bars are available from China. Ideal for me would be a bar with 400 mm at the hoods, 440 mm in the drops, low to medium reach and drop and a stem length of around 80 mm.

Hey, I have another question for G068 owners: what's the height of the chainstay on the NDS? I want to make sure that I have the correct caliper bolt length.

I'm almost at a point that an integrated clockpit might be easier and cheaper option, haha. I don't really like bars with lots of flare though. Most gravel integrated cockpits appear to have 15° flare, or more. Any recommendations for something in the 10° flare range and with a short reach?

Fortunately I won't have that problem (no FD). I still don't like the design of the compression ring nonetheless. I don't like how these C-shaped rings do not support the front of the steerer.

Kocevlo seems to have a suitable integrated stem too:

I wonder if that one is any good.

That is a -17° stem though, isn't it? Looks like you won't need as many spacers with a standard -6° stem. I have a Scott Speedster with a somewhat similar cable routing method, and while it may look bad for the cables, I really didn't have any problems with that over the course of 15000 kms and two years.

Edit: OK, looking closer at this, the Speedster setup is pretty much like the Ritchey Switch system, and yes, it has provisions for larger bending angle compared to the cap with holes... so it's really not the same.

Just curious, what is the price of a UD glossy finish? Same as black?

Stupid question, but what's the story with integrated cable routing with traditional stem and bar? Is this possible with the parts that are shipped with the frame? In the same way it's done on Tarmac SL8 or Scott bikes essentially, which means cables enter the top cap of the headset.

Edit: they have this headset cover which seems suitable for that, is this shipped with the frame? https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005004709209450.html
