I pre-ordered this frame but ended up cancelling due to delays. I would recommend anyone considering it check stock before ordering.

What size did you order? They told me L is coming by October but M is available, it's also on Ali

I pre-ordered L. Was originally supposed to be ready July. Repeated delays followed by an 'expected' Sept manufacture date, which was missed so I'd be cautious about the October date too. Like I said, I would recommend ensuring they have stock before ordering.

In the end, I got frustrated with the repeated delays so cancelled. There are plenty of other options at the moment! (the 'usual suspects' plus Workswell, Miracle, Winowsports, Yishun, and even the new Lexon Flyer).

That's true but at some point you need to select amongst the most affordable and reliable in post sales so Carbonda, light carbon and spcycle remains the only viable options for me

No need to go into all the detail but based on my experience I would not recommend SP Cycle. Previous orders with Airwolf and Carbonda were much smoother and have resulted in awesome builds :)

spcycle sent me this on ali when I asked about their headset routing:
Appears to be the typical holes in the top cap for routing.

Did someone actually ordered and built one of these? How did it go?

I was planning on doing that, but now that I am still waiting for a guarantee frame for SP05 from mid-june, my wish has probably gone.

What did happen to your SP05 and how they behave when you asked for support?

After four months of moderate riding, the bottom bracket started to squeak. I examined it, there were cracks around it.
SP's initial response was that I need to send the frame back for inspection and repair at my expense.
Then they were more cooperative, I sent a video and some pictures and they were willing to send me a replacement frame if I paid the shipping costs. I did it and am still waiting for the frame. I email them every two weeks, sometimes they respond with apologies and explanations as to why they still haven't sent me the frame.
A week ago I got a tracking number, but it can't be tracked. We'll see

Good morning. I ordered this frame in size M directly from the site. After an initial exchange of emails regarding address, size and more, I would now be waiting for a shipping tracking code which is taking a bit.... we'll see and hope for the best... Do you think it will be possible to open the steering angle by one degree with this frame? What headset do you recommend? Thank you

So, after half a year of waiting, I got the replacement frame. Weighs 1120 grams with seat post clamp, axle and derailleur hanger, which is 200 grams heavier than spesified. I am happy to get a frame, but kind of disappointed because of the weight.

See some people have ordered, but nobody is reporting... Does anyone actually have one yet?
