Thanks a lot for your insights! I just placed an order for the SP-Cycle G069! I a 5'8 with 30" inseam and picked the XS size. David from SP Cycle was very helpful

I'm currently riding a G069, great decision, like the frame geometry and the quality is good and worth the money

Hi guys! what is your opinion on Spcycle G069 after few months of using it? one user commented that the frame lacks stiffness. Whar are your observation in this are?
Would you buy it again?

I really like my G069. No problem whatsoever with the fork (different to the G068 one), or anything else.
But their paintjob have been ok att best,.the for was bad painted so i got a new one. Same bad paint on second one, decided to just live with it
Quality from SP is probably not as good as Lightcarbon or similar. But then again they are quite a bit cheaper.
If i was looking for a new frame today - i would probably look at some Lightcarbon frame or Assisting force af01.
Do i need a new frame? I would say no, if i dont decide i need to go for larger tire spacing (2.1 - 2.25" MTB).

So far, my G069 has been working well—no problems with the brake mounts, paint, or anything else. in my case I've bought this G069 to use as 2 in 1 bike (road + gravel). Works very well in both cases.

As for reliability, nothing is ever 100% guaranteed. For example, my neighbor recently bought a new Toyota RAV4, and after chatting with some experienced mechanics, they mentioned that the latest generation of engines has a known issue with oil leaking from the side cover of the chain valve trim. There hasn't been a recall for it. In other words, even Toyota can't promise flawless quality.

At the end of the day, every purchase carries some risk.
