I've got the GV45 2.0 ones and really like them. IVe only borrowed a set ones with DT hubs and these are nicer. I don't see a reason to 35 though. I live in very flat and windy place, and 45 is fine. The without difference is really minimal, especially considering their usage.

I think the reason 9velo doesn't come up here often is because you can probably get cheaper wheels, with the same quality. I found the price of mine (with a 15% code) good enough to just get them.

Build it up and rode a bit with it, will post proper pictures in future.

Components are
Tantan GR048 with custom paint (Red metallic, with the tops of bars being black, and matte varnish)
9Velo GV45 2.0 (already had them some months)
GRX820 (with GRX400 brakes)
RXL SL gravel bars at 42CM
Kocevlo stem at 90mm
Silca bar tape (Knockoff? of some ali seller, easily nicest bar tape ive used though)
Redshift grips (Knockoff of same ali seller, surprisingly great)

For now its just a road setup, because I don't actually have gravel where I live, the idea of this bike was to swap some wheels when I want to do some small trips to places with gravel. I run corsa pro 32mm tubeless on the 9velo wheels for now, and will probably keep doing that for a good while.

For me the geometry is very nice. Its definitely relaxed but as someoone with a short torso, a lot heavier than I ought to be and a quite bad back it makes it really comfortable. It's actually a stiffer than my Defy (non-SL frame), and handling is more stable. Keep in mind I'm just used to that bike, and a 20yo Trek OCLV carbon bike. This bike is obviously heavy (didnt weigh it yet), but for me that really doesn't matter much. I'm a heavy guy, and live in a flat area. I also have no intention of going fast. Fork will be chopped once I figure out the height (probably one spacer less)

No obvious flaws on the build. One small annoyance is quite large unpainted areas around some of the bolts, but I don't care too much. The varnish is also pretty rough around the BB area, but its hidden away and I have no issue with it.

looks very good - where did you finally purchase and how much was it?

575 USD exc shipping. That also includes thru axles, BB, stem and the fender mount. Ordered from Seraph. We'll see on the quality once I receive it, don't expect too much esp from the random bits, but easy to change out. Mainly just want to be able to put the basics together to give it a test spin.

From a quick look at one of those videos I originally thought it was just the same as the tideace GR021 that has a big thread in this forum section.

I asked a custom paint from Tantan but they messed up so badly it's almost funny I gotta say...

That looks bad... I have one at tantan with custom paint being made, hope it looks better than that. Definitely happy I didn't do any "special" effect, however the matte finish I hope they can at least sort out.

I'm pretty sure the STA is wrong on that page. It's marked at 71.25, but on the tables it's indicated at 72.5.
With 72.5 the XL of this one is well compared to the G056 in L, just about 12mm higher. A 71.25 STA would be very weird, esp seeing that suddenly increases the reach by quite a lot.

Here they did fill it in correct: https://bikeinsights.com/compare?geometries=632176549533910022b2d1a0,64f75c069b8f1900202c25f8,

I've been comparing a lot of geometries, and seeing this one is super relaxed it's likely a good fit for me. Just checking in with SPCycle and Seraph (G048 they call it) now for prizes of some custom paint (Want a red metallic one). Is there actually any diff in which one builds it though? I imagine these types of frames would just largely be the same between who builds them?

I have this frame and bought it for similar fit reasons.

Any pictures?

Also send a quick mail, because this frame looks much nicer to me than LCG071, but also just got the reply that it's bought out. Such a shame. Geometry looked good for me, and the seatstays are very nice.
