Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Spcycle New Mold G056 Carbon Gravel Frame
« on: March 25, 2025, 04:47:38 PM »
For a 180cm tall person, with a usual saddle height of 77-78 cm, would you suggest a M or a L?
I'm kinda looking for the unreachable combo short reach+tall stack
(My current road bike ha almost the same geometry as the size M, I'd need a slightly taller stack but then I'm concerned about the longer reach)

They sent me the drawing of the frame where they have a 35 mm tire and the clearance on each side is slightly over 5 mm, both on the lower and upper rear triangle.
No drawing of the fork though.

Yes it's not cheap, but from the quotes I got the closest competitor looks to be the Carbonda 1136 that's even more expensive

Anyone has any info/experience with this frame?

http://www.hongfu-bikes.com/products/76.html

Great looks, 32 mm max, relaxed geometry (590 stack, 378 reach in L), UDH, FSA 55R headset - small downside is BB86 bottom bracket


Also, what's the general feeling with the brand?

Italian sounding with a nonsense twist :D

Nothing from the front (and the bike is disassembled currently for spring maintenance and a replacement bar) but page 5 has a picture from the side with 30mm tires.

thanks! It looks great, is it a XL?
I find the M to look much smaller, with the seat clamp way below the wheel top

The G056/RF25 frame uses a standard 27.2mm seat post. Would you need something longer than a 400mm seat post length?

I currently have a saddle height of roughly 77 cm, so I think a 400 mm seatpost would work but with not much into the seat tube. More an aesthetic consideration than anything

I think 32c tires would look fine. 28c would probably look a little off. The geometry of this frame is a bit weird at first, but now I love it. The short back end gives it good stability.

Yeah I'm a bit worried about the seat tube length, if the dimensions on Aliexpress are right, in M size it would be 40 mm shorter than my current bike, and I already have most of my seatpost exposed, I might need a longer one for this frame and end up looking very weird

I'm continuing my search but still no results outside of the big brands.
I really can't understand why chinese manufacturers put out so many race frames that are all the same thing, and no one offers something with geometry similar to the Trek Domane

Hi guys, I might be missing something with the geometry of this frame.
I'd expect it to be quite racey, but in size 56 I see 575 stack and 389 reach, that seem to be more to the upright/endurance side.
Is it so?
Or am I not considering some other key parameter?

Thanks!
I ended giving up a few nice-to-haves as the real struggle is geometry and the chance to fit 35/38ish tires

Do you have any picture where I ca seenthe gaps around tires?

Hi all,
do you think this frame might be viable also as a allroad endurance-ish bike?
Reach and stack are what I'm looking for, but I'm afraid the wide tyre clearance could look funny with 28/32c road tires, what do you think?

Peter did mention it was going to be a high end frame that won't be super cheap. Depending on the final specs, weight and looks it might be a great option.

Yeah but there's middle ground between super-cheap and 1300+$

I'm not investing that kind of money in a new chinese frame, with all the flaws that a new product might have.
For that amount you can often find the BMC Roadmachine frameset on bike24, sometimes even cheaper

I'll probably need a cassette spacer as I have a 8-speed groupset.

Actually I do not, it's included in the box, nice
Now downloading the 28 GB for MyWhoosh

I received mine (X2 max) today, in the coming days I'll set it up, I'll probably need a cassette spacer as I have a 8-speed groupset.
And after that I won't be able to make any comparison, as it's my first bike trainer of any kind ;D
