Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201

[Eddy-haideli]

Ice crack pink.

🚴‍♂️💥 Just built up my new Tideace GV201 Pink Ice Crack Gravel Frame last week, and I'm seriously impressed! 🙌

The whole process was seamless from start to finish. The team was great to work with via email, and they even sent me a sample of the custom color I described before I confirmed the order. Super helpful! 🎨✨

The frame feels solid and high-quality – I could tell right away that this is a top-tier product. It shipped with everything I needed for a frameset: headset, bearings, axles, and even cable guides. Everything was in perfect condition. 🔧🔩

And let's talk about the ride – it's amazing! The bike handles beautifully, and the paintjob is flawless for the price. It honestly looks better than I expected, especially with this custom finish! 😍🚴‍♂️

Delivery time was right on point, exactly as quoted. Much faster and cheaper than buying a bare carbon frame and getting it painted locally. Can't recommend this enough! 🚀

Recently just built up my Tideace GR201 that I ordered in April.
Gotta say, never thought I'd have so much fun and ease building up a bike. Everything went smooth from ordering to delivery and build, no missing parts, no out of spec parts, etc.
BB installation was flawless, could screw it in both of the sides with my fingers and brakes required no facing at all both the front ant rear, guiding cables was a breeze too.

Frame itself feels solid and nice geometry that is on the more racy side of things, to me it's like my Tarmac SL7, but with 50mm tyres. I got it in the White chameleon color with black insides of forks/chainstays and in the sun, which unfortunately we don't have much anymore looks amazing! Everyone is complimenting this color lol.

I built it up with SRAM Rival AXS XPLR 13s, only changed cranks to Force for those sweet 300g savings. Chainring is 46T which is a placeholder for now, as I plan on switching it to aero chainring instead.
For wheels I used Elite Gravel Aero+ with 32 IW/40IW and they pair just perfectly with Schwalbe G-One RX Pro tyres in 50mm. Quick on asphalt and blazing fast on gravel & mud which we have plenty of right now, my friends with Tufo Thundero are having hard time on the mud haha.
For handlebar I used Lexon Unox in 38cm and 80mm stem, installation was easy with default hardware, no gaps or play even after 400km of hard riding, beautiful bar, for the price I'd say it's amazing.

As far the fit goes I ordered 56 frame and my height is 187cm, 895mm inseam and it fits well, will drop 2 of the spacers in the coming months as I feel quite upright on it compared to Tarmac. If you're coming from a road bike, I recommend getting shorter stem for this bike as the top tube is quite long compared to the race road bikes.
Overall I am pleased with the communication with Eddy and their paint technician's work, would order again and I recommend this frame to anybody who wants to build up their bike to have something unique.

Beautiful build! i go for the same groupset with 46t chainring (aleary bought aero one from garbaruk) so my question if the 46t fits is answered

Are you using the plastic C-Ring from the Lexon Bar which came with the other spacers?

With all of the information here I think I settled on this frame (instead of carbonda 696). Overall, I think I would prefer something slightly lighter, but this looks great with the pocket and overall

I'm deciding on the size. I'm 182/183, with an 83 inseam. I think 540 is the right frame (wondering if 520, but curious if you folks have any opinions). I understand that 540 has stand over between 79.5-82. my bike fitter in the past recommended 78-79 of top tube clearance/stand over.

Gemini insists on 560 with 7cm stem. because of the higher stack.

I currently have Fuji Roubaix 1.1 2018 size 56 with with a 90mm stem.(+7degrees) which seems to have a stand over around 77cm.

When comparing the dimensions it seems closer to 520 than 540?

Hello, I have a problem with the steering head bearing. It has too much play. Even though everything is secured, it can be moved back and forth with a lot of play. The Lexon Unox is installed. I hope I didn't do anything wrong during installation. Both bearings are in place and there is a metal ring on the upper bearing that looks like a "C."

Here is another picture from above.

a) Use the plastic C ring
b) It looks like the steerer is not cut low enough so you cannot compress the headset with the handlebar.

Thank you, I will try it with the Kusntoff C ring. However, I think it was too high. OK, if necessary, I will have to cut off a little more. Thank you for your help.

You can also add a normal round 3 or 5mm spacer on top of the handlebar and use a standard top cap to achieve proper compression until you can get the fork cut.
