Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Spcycle New Mold G068 Carbon Gravel Frame
« on: August 28, 2024, 08:05:54 AM »Hi all,
I am new here but been reading for a while trying to orientate myself. I would like to build a Gravel bike that tries to replicate something close to the Canyon Grizl. From my research it looks like the SPCycles G068 might be close to that from what I see but open to feedback. I have some generic questions and specific... I haven't built a bike for many years so lots of things have changed.
Here goes...
- How do I know if I need cassette or crank spacers?
- Anything I am missing here or putting together that is stupid?
- Any suggestions over and above the G068 in terms of "Grizl like" nature? I looked at plenty but with so many choices its hard to know if I missed something.
Apologies if I should have started a new thread specific to this set of questions. Thanks in advance and below is the pick list I came up with so far (and thanks to those who published their build lists to give me a starting point to narrow things down).

I am building the same bike but using the CWinds frame. They will be releasing an updated G30 U with integrated bars in the next month. I was speaking with them. That’s a decent list of parts. Pretty much exactly what I’m building.
