Sure, i used a SRAM T47 DUB Bottom Bracket and the Rival AXS Crankset with Powermeter.

  Mine just arrived today in Canada, one day short of 2 weeks from order time. Everything looks great apart from having to clean the threads on the BB on the non drive side and pant work looks excellent with no blemishes. FWIW bought the Ceccotti version from a different "store" on ALI (very well reviewed).

  I ordered the L size and find its similar to the 56-57 CM bikes I have. It definitly feels smaller then a 58 CM Trek 920 that is my every day bike. The only mistake I made was ordering a handlebar with a too short of stem as I expected the size to be more like my 920.

Hello! I'm from Canada as well and quite interested with the same frame!

Can you share the link where you purchased the frameset? TIA!

Finally assembled the bike.

Size L, weight 8.2kg naked, 8.6kg ready to ride

I had a problem with the crankset and bb (token).
The spindle was to short. The solution was to get rid of preload adjuster and just put a spacer. Will probably change the crankset for sram force wide with power meter, as the senicx one has slightly big chainline. Chainring 44t.
- Wheels from yuanan with mana rotors and gravel thundero HD tires.
- Stem deda vinci - 17 with kovcelo 40cm handlebar with little flare.
- Hoods and brakes sram rival.
- Rd sram gx with garbaruk cage from Ali which makes is as light as xx1 version.
- Cassette sram eagle xx1 10-50 and chain also xx1.
- Saddle prologo scratch5 agx.

Bike is very comfortable and stable. Feels very good on descents and single tracks. On other hands feels slower then my previous bike - specialized Diverge e5 comp aluminum. But that one was basically a road plus/endurance bikes. I also had way better shape last year. Will see how much I like this bike inf few weeks.

This is the like to the store. Unfortunately I think I am going to have to get another as I am finding it a bit big. I am 6' tall and bought the large but I am a bit too stretched out for my liking. I did a bit more painting to mine after I got it as well. It is a great riding frame with very few issues in the build up.

Awsome paint job! Can you tell a bit more how did you make it? What was your base color?

The bike was ordered as blue and I taped off sections using fineline and painted with epoxy paint. It looks ok from this distance but no so much close up. I also made a decal with photoshop.

Answering my self here., I got it right on the second attempt/order of a directmount hanger, so this is a buying tip for those of you with compatible RD:s and an interest going the directmount route.

I orderd https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005946829585.html?gps-id=pcStoreJustForYou&scm=1007.23125.137358.0&scm_id=1007.23125.137358.0&scm-url=1007.23125.137358.0&pvid=4f84ad9f-55e6-41d2-92bd-72a29fbd4629&_t=gps-id:pcStoreJustForYou,scm-url:1007.23125.137358.0,pvid:4f84ad9f-55e6-41d2-92bd-72a29fbd4629,tpp_buckets:668%232846%238110%231995&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21SEK%21472.80%2189.80%21%21%2144.49%218.45%21%402101e58b17085265557644453e9815%2112000034975814437%21rec%21SE%21173424834%21&spm=a2g0o.store_pc_home.smartJustForYou_2004123779662.1005005946829585

You'll probably have to copy the link text and paste into your browser to get to the product, this bord does things with pasted links.

How did that hangar work out ? I am in need of one and was wondering .

What kind of bike weights are you guys getting with this frame? My current carbon gravel frame is about 7.9kg running 2x mechanical with 38c Gravelking SK tires. I would preferably like to get my gravel bike down at least to 7.6kg or sub 17lbs. I have this frame on my wishlist, but I'm open to other gravel framesets especially if they weigh less. The VoiceVelo G-Major would be perfect, but totally out of my price range!

Mine is 22lb as shown in this picture (one bottle empty). The tires are 650g each and loaded with 3-4 oz of sealant. I can save almost a lb if I used good tires.

Whoa, that weighs more than when I had my alloy gravel frameset! 

I think it's a bit more of balancing act trying to weight weenie a gravel bike since durability and ride conditions are important factors to keep in mind. I might even consider getting an older Crux frameset at this point if I want to drop more weight.

It's not super light by any means but most stock name brand gravel bikes are over this. What alloy bike did you have that was lighter ? I had a Trek Checkpoint that was 21 lbs. I think without any of the junk (bags, tools, spare tube, food, bottles, f & r lights, garmin, gopro etc) on there it's 18 lbs. I have a Colnago Master that is 18 lbs LOL


You mention the Crux but where I live that bike is $10k - $15k. I have about $3500 into this with the SRAM wireless. I doubt the Crux would give me 4x as much fun.

I was originally using a Poseidon X alloy frameset that I eventually gifted to a family member. It was running in 1x configuration and it came out to about 20 lbs. I eventually swapped out the parts to an old 2017 Kinesis carbon frameset that I had laying around and now it's at the 7.9kg/17.5 lbs. mark. Nothing wrong with the frame, but it has external brake cabling. I'm tempted to drill an internal brake hole in the frame, but I'm worried about affecting the structural integrity.

The weight difference between my carbon road and gravel bikes are only about 1-1.5 lbs. Most of that extra weight is just in my tires, cassette and slightly heavier GRX shifters. I think my gravel wheelset actually weighs less than my road wheels.

I'm looking at older Crux framesets, like a 2019 model. No way I could buy a newer frameset!

Same here. Plus If I had one I would probably break it. I weigh 200 lbs, I could skip lunch and make up the difference in weight. LOL
