Twitter G2 budget alloy gravel frameset

[GVG]

Guys, do you mind sharing photos of your builds? Thinking about buying this frame. Not sure green or silver. White seems to be microwave gloss white paint.

The rest of my parts should arrive today or tomorrow. I'll try to put it together over the weekend.

I don't have a wheelset for mine yet, but this is what it looks like so far with my road wheels on it;

Any pictures with 45mm tires on?

My Green Frameset arrived on friday, can't decide if I should go 1x or 2x will post some pictures once I have decided. Wanted to let everyone know that mine didn't come with headset, seat post collar, or seatpost. It come very well wrapped with thru-axels, UDH, fork dropout mount and fixing screw. May have to face the fork brake mounts, one had a sticker in place and haven't removed it yet.

I have a carbon integrated bar (topseek) and need some 52mm Bearings x 2. I am worried it's going to be tight fixing mechanical 2x through the headset and downtube exit hole, may need to clean it up a little or put a grommet to stop hoses from rubbing. Green paint looks much better in real life, nice sparkle to it. Anyone else struggling with 1x vs 2x would love to hear thoughts on it.

Hello! I received my frame today and can confirm that a size L weighs 1,620 g, and the fork comes in at 420 g.

It arrived with thru-axles and a hanger, but no headset, seatpost, or clamp.
The frame itself appears to be of satisfactory quality, but the fork has a few rough edges.

When you ordered this on AliExpress, was it from the twitter factory or the third party company?

I ordered mine from Twitter factory, did not come with Headset/bearings, seat post, or seat post collar.
Did come with Thru-Axels, UDH, Fork Drop Out Mount, Fixing screw, and M5 Bolts for cages.

Arrived in 3 weeks from China to Australia, over the festive period, ordered on 15/12/25 and arrived on 09/01/26.

Waiting for 52mm bearings now as don't want to separate my complete headsets (but can if I am desperate) I did try size 52mm bearings and can confirm they are what's required.

I received my frame today and no small parts came with it. Just the frame and fork. Anyone know if Twitter is responsive on AliExpress? Any suggestions you have on how I can get this corrected?

I would argue everyone find another manufacturer to buy a frame. Look at this guy finding all the imperfections of the frame. Its just a very poor quality brand.


Be safe people.

Noice! Looks pretty much like a regular endurance bike with this wheelset.

Well that's why here we are not buying a 300-400 USD carbon frameset - a half of the price from any cheapest verified Chinese OEM manufacturer.

Here's a link to the general inspection of the frame. Apologies for the length, I'm pretty new to this and a little slow. Hope this helps some questions. Just a note that there's no cable stops for the front derailleur so only modern 2x with cable stop front mech (FD) will work oit of the box. I'm just over thinking the setup as I have many 2x options if I go down that route.

That's very odd that yours doesn't have one, because mine definitely came with a cable stop for the front derailleur.

I knew that I'd seen one on pictures somewhere, so strange that mine didn't come with one.

I feel it could still work as long as I use an R9 or GRX 400 FD as they have cable stops built in but the kink from the cable out will require a fixture so it doesn't end up with tyre rub. I'm really baffled as to why some would have it and some wouldn't. It has annoyed me as this is the first bike I've planned to go 2x with in a while. Have the cranksets for it and everything. Id have ordered a 1x 12 if Id have known....

Thanks for your feedback mate.

Thank you! How does it look like in the sunlight? Still can't decide green or silver.
