Spcycle New Mold G068 Carbon Gravel Frame

[Noladutch]

I agree on a need for 50mm tires.  This frame looks like it could be used for bikepacking/touring with the placement of all the threaded bosses.  I wonder if someone will make a gravel geometry hybrid frame that can fit boost/148 rear wheels, and 110 front hubs.   (I suppose the rear frame geometry is too short to accommodate a 148 wide rear triangle and either a 73 or 83mm wide bottom bracket.)

They do it is the focus atlas. Boost spacing normal crank spacing

The wider hubs make stronger rims is the only real reason for it. Most don't want the wide q factor of mtb crank standards on a drop bar bike.

I wrote him last week as well and still waiting for a reply. I would like to get more information about the frame, as pricing, release date...
What is your opinion about Spcycle as brand at all? Had anybody already gained some experience with it?
For me it would be the first Chinese frame

I got an answer concerning weight:

Thank you for following and contacting us.
SP-G068 has currently completed sample manufacturing. The sample size is size M, the frame weight is 1120g, and the fork weight is 445g, excluding metal accessories. The downtube of the G068 is very large and thick, so it’s difficult to make it very light.
We are considering using full T1000 carbon to make this frame. It is expected that the mass production version will be size L and weigh 1100g.

best regards

David

He didn't answer my question regarding price. But I would imagine it is similar to the other gravel frames. That would be quite ok :-).

The G068 front triangle is longer than other gravel frames, requiring the use of more material. In addition, more T1000 Carbon needs to be used to reduce frame weight. Therefore, the price of G068 will be more expensive than G056 and G058.

Will you have special versions of the integrated cockpit handlebar with a reach less than 80mm?

What technology will be used to make the frame, will it be EPS Latex or something ordinary?

When will it be possible to order/receive the XS frame?

[spcycle]

G068 has completed sample manufacturing and testing. Size S M L will be released in early June. size XS XL will be released in late June.

G068 is manufactured using EPS technology. The inside of the frame is very smooth. We will provide HB-056 fully integrated gravel handlebar for G068. reach 77mm, drop 120mm.

Size S M L will be released in early June. Sizes XS and XL will be available in late June.

This is looking pretty good! I may pick one up. I may swap the fork out for one I saw on ALiEx. 410mm but 60mm clearance.

Yes, there is no storage space designed into the downtube. For forks, we will provide 2 versions. without bolt holes version fork is available.

I see that it's up on the website, how do you get the fork without bolt holes? Is it also possible to get the frame with fewer holes?

When I messaged them via email, they said they could do the fork without bolt holes. They also said they will eventually have semi-internal available. Probably if through AE would need to put a note with your order.

I'm disappointed they went with the upper side of Canyon's crazy sizing. I need a 2XS.

Probably going to have to go with the CFR707 to get UDH + BSA/T47 + standard seat post + good tire clearance + semi-internal.

Any pictures of this built up as a bike?

I love the looks of non dropped stays, udh, and huge down tube but seeing it built with wheels would certainty help me make a decision considering how long it is.
