I’m definitely intrigued by this frameset but unable to find reviews anywhere. Anyone on here purchased this yet?

My R088 just got painted and they sent pictures already. I went with a simple UD gloss finish over bare carbon. Frame was weighed without metal hardware (the UDH and FD hanger) and my size 52cm frameset came in at 760g. I'll report back once my frame arrives hopefully within the next few weeks.

Very interested in this frame as well. Please update us when you get your hands on it @jonathanf2

I wasn't planning on upgrading my road frame this year, but this frame ticked all the right boxes for me. Plus the next major AliEx sale is the Summer Sale and US prices will most likely increase, so I figure it's a good time to buy. Also from the pictures I received, I can confirm Di2/ER9/ERX battery routing goes behind the FD hanger. It's very similar to the other SL8 clones, but with a slightly different head tube.

Though I'm planning to build this out as a lightweight climber. I was debating between the SPCycle R088 and ICAN FL1, but the R088 is cheaper, confirmed EPS molded(hopefully), UDH and still fairly lightweight. Also I just can't get myself to like the Aethos style design. For those who are interested in an aero build, this won't be it. I'm aiming to get this build in the mid-6kg range with pedals, cages, computer mount and power meter. I'll be swapping over my ER9 groupset and other components from my current TFSA SL6 clone frameset.

could you show a photos ? I also want to have some UD gloss bare carbon look

Only reason I opted for UD glossy is that my last SPCycle frameset had so-so paint. My other UD glossy frameset seemed to fare better from regular ride wear. I attached a photo they sent me with the frame on the scale.

Anybody has any feedbacks about this ? Seems lighter than TT-X68 ..

My frame is shipping this week according to SPcycle, I'm guessing I'm one of the first early adopters. They're taking longer than expected. The last time I ordered from them it took only 14 days to prep, paint and ship my frameset to my doorstep.

Why wouldn't this be an aero-ish bike? Like the TT-x68 or Speci SL7/8? Doesn't look worst to me. Off course it's not an all out aerobike (like canyon CFR, Cannondale Systemsix, Giant Propel, whatever), but those are normally (especially their chiner-counterparts) a bit more heavy.

This looks like a leightweigth aero-ish frame. Do it all, but not to endurance focused

I'm building it out more like aero-ish climber, with wider bars (fully wrapped to piss off the aero crowd here) and shallow depth climbing wheels. I think one of the complaints about the Aethos style design is that it's somewhat flexy. I want to build out a less flexy climber, that's still fairly lightweight.

Anyways, my frameset is en-route. Honestly I don't find SPcycle customer service to be that great. I had to keep politely messaging them for updates. Also they told me they're not shipping via FedEx and yet my shipping update says it's FedEx. 

I had a much better buying experience through the Ceccotti/Surprised Store/Sequel Bikes vendor for my gravel frameset. That frameset looked great with excellent paint work and clean carbon lay-up. Their customer service was prompt, provided lots of photos and answered all my questions. On top of that, they forgot to ship my spare RD hanger, so they shipped me another one ASAP, though for a $1 USD fee. Unfortunately they don't sell any sub 900g road framesets, but all their latest frames appear to have 32c tire clearance, T47 bottom brackets and appear to use a common (with Chinese frames) RD hanger. Their prices are reasonable as well. In retrospect I should have just bought a road frame from them instead.

Thanks for the clarification. Not the bike is 'non-aero' but your build is more 'non-aero-focused'. If I understand you correct, you could do an aero-ish build with this (smaller bars, aero wheelset).

Yes, the build won't be aero focused. I might change my mind later on, but I have another bike that's more aero focused, but on that frame I have higher gearing and I'm not too concerned about weight.

Can the frame entertain fully internal routing and integrated handlebars? Wonder why they didn't package it with int. handlebars...

[BoahMan]

wow so it looks like it may not be fully internally routed. Maybe a fork swap can fix the issue seeing that there is adequate room for the rear brake cable
