Thanks a lot for the input! I did end up ordering the SPcycles G068. I took me a long to to decide between the three models that SPcycles does. optically I prefer the G020 with the dropped seat stays but it is very high and short. for this short rider I needed a frame with less horizontal top tube. The G056 to be honest is optically less pleasing to I went for the G068.
Would have gotten the Easedon too based on the recommendation, but I need a microspline body. I asked them if if is available and haven't heard back yet (only just asked).

My friend has this frame and it's very satisfied with it.

How are this "drop bars"? I'm also looking at them. Where did you buy it? Tnx

I just saw this thread.

Use the Salsa Cutthroat as your baseline for frame geometry.   Then go to this website and find the Aliexpress/Brand frame you are interested in and compare it to the Cutthroat.  This will give you an Idea of what hardtail frame will work well with drop bars

https://bikeinsights.com

I am using my Spcycle M05 for my bikepacker these days.  It is a longer frame and slacker than the Cutthroat, but I am still able to run drop bars as needed.   This being written, i evolved to where I use a set of "H" bars on this bike rather than flared gravel drop bars.   The nice thing about this is I can reconfigure the bike to flat bars in about 20 minutes, often swapping out a rigid carbon fork with a suspension fork.

Edit:  The nice thing about "H" bars is that you can run mtb components/levers on the "H" bars because they are the smaller mtb flat bar diameter.  With Gravel bars you are stuck using integrated gravel/road brak/shift levers, adding a lot more cost to your build.

Been browsing around on e-bike conversion kit, seems like some semi decent kit only only around 500-700usd , rear wheel hub motor + battery.

Anyone has good experience converting let's say a gravel to a rear wheel e-bike kit?

Depends. For Thru Axle there is quite difficult to find a hub motor. What do you need? I converted a lot of bikes to ebikes (hub and mid motor).

@coffeebreak yes, mate finish.

tnx @kisuke3

I created and printed an adapter. Now is ok. :)

I have a Velobuild GF-002 frame and I would like to convert from integrated handlebar to normal. I need a headset cover that has holes for wires, but I can't find appropriate one. Did somebody do the conversion? What "adapter" I need?

Photo attached, what I need.


Tnx
