Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201

[Rolandos]

Hehe yep quite flexible these days. Works like a charm and can def remove more spacers but its fine for now.

I use a 3D printed SWAT mount for specialized saddles. It integratates very nicely. https://www.magcad-designs.com/products/magcad-garmin-varia-specialized-swat-saddle-mount-20mm-offset?srsltid=AfmBOooe9SAOJdfmOVzDDxAwXo8R4UNkCjCZVji8Zdy6bw9XuJHcxVR2

Am I doing something wrong? I get a puny 19,18€ discount; that's just over 2%.

Technically, it is "up to 40%" as you advertise but still feels a bit stingy.

Received mine today :
Will weight and mount everything tonight.
The little parts (spacers, expander, headset bearings) were loose inside the package.. the bag wasn't closed correctly. But no damage.

400mm reach with 570mm top tube in size 54, plus outdated seat tube inclination, 435mm long chai stay.

I am sorry but the design is a little Crazy. If they have put 75 deg in the back maybe they would bring the saddle closer, reduce top tube to something reasonable and paired with a short stem it could work. But this .... I don't see it

it's interesting as reach varies much less than normal between a sm and an xl size - it's almost like they tried to keep the bottom bracket and HT mostly in the same place and just let the larger seat tube dictate the top tube length. it's good for riders with long torsos across the whole range of rider heights

Sooo,
Faced the brakes surfaces because it was bad, and routed the cable out of the bars because the holes were really sharp and destroyed the hoses.
I also had to mount a 1mm spacer because the bolts of 110 BCD Sram Force spider were touching the frame.

Rest is really impressive, I love it !

What size is this?
Still waiting for mine (54) and as I can see it should be quite easy to go below 8 kg

[Rapac]

It's 49, and yes I think it can go easily under 8kg. I could already save : cassette 200g
Seatpost 90g
Saddle 100g
Cranks 200g
Pedals 50g
Wheels 200g

Nice! What bars did you mount?

Looking very solid and sharp. Now time to ride it!

Am considering building up one of these but am SO in doubt about sizing as this would be my first gravel bike.
Ride MTB normally.

Height: 167cm
Inseam: 76,5cm

Any insights on whether a size 49 would fit me? As far as I have understood, the toptube would be too far?

Thanks <3

I think coming from an MTB it'll actually feel more familiar than a typical compact race bike fit.
you'll need a shorter stem than what one would typically run b/c in those smaller sizes, your reach is like 30-40mm longer than a traditional road bike frame.

Okay, thanks a lot for the fast reply! So, what you are saying is basically that I could (for instance) go with a 60mm stem and then the fit would be okay'ish?
Would you be able to recommend another chinese frame with a better fit for a small guy like me?

I'm 170cm with 79cm inseam. Ride it with a 100m stem and slammed. My back is horizontal when I'm in the drops or paw position on the hoods. You might not need a so short stem (60), depending how you want to ride it.

Does anyone recon what size seat clamp should I get for GR201? I'm doing a lil color scheme so this MUST be changed straight away 
inner size is 27.2 but what about outer side? Also I have found some axles (https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/1005005603728147.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2pol) and I'm sure I'm about to buy all wrong sizes possible...
