SPCycle G028 new gravel frame with 57mm tires clearance

[Ghandy]

Well, being quick always comes down to the riders legs
But seriously:
I think it can work as an allroad frame with 40mm tires, but my initial impression of today is that the Velobuild Aero Gravel feels faster. The VB also takes 2.1” thunderburts and rides well even on 35mm road slicks. So for allroad with the occasional big tire use, I’d go for the VB.

Thanks for the reply I am looking to replace my vb aero grav for this one or maybe something else. Could your feeling be down to the tires? Are or there other things that stood out to you?

Good

Very nice ;
I dig the colour. Is it one of the standard colours ?

Good

How's the clearance with the mezcal in the back ?
Tight or good enough for dry conditions/no mud ?
(My 2.25 mezcals on another bike are 58mm, would be a nice option, if they fit.)

What stem/bar fits?  I want to put an integrated setup on and don't know which "standard" to go with.  I have an FSA ACR stem/spacers and it didn't mate up well with the provided headset.

I inquired about my order status via ali express messages and got a reply back same day that it will be delivered in 3 weeks. I'd be pretty happy with that as they haven't seemed to have even shipped it yet.

I just ordered one and got information to expect the frame in mid july!

Pretty excited moving to this from an older Giant revolt, hoping to get a bit of a racier fit without going crazy.
Using that frame currently both for road + gravel and I'm expecting this to feel a bit faster. Not the fastest cyclist in the bunch but haven't felt limited by the bike yet anyway!

Did you order through ali or DM?

Has anyone weighed the frame and fork?

Good

Is that a 46 or 48t chainring? How is the chainring clearance and chainline?

Has anyone weighed the frame and fork?

I weighed mine before building up.  Med with raw carbon/gloss clear finish.

Frame 1200g
Fork 460g

Was that with the storage cover, thru axles, and/or hanger? They list 460 for fork and 1100 for M matte frame.

This was with the door, udh.  I left the axles and rest of the hardware off while weighing.

I've mostly finished building my build.  Just figuring out which bar/stem to put on.

-Med frame, raw carbon with clear coat.
-BTLOS 32mm int width wheels
-SRAM Rival/Force drivetrain
- 2.1" Thunder Burts

2 rides on it so far and it's mostly dialed in.  Rides well and the geo fits, so time will tell how it holds up. The only issue I have found with the build quality is the rear brake holes are not really inboard enough to center the brake pads in the calipers.  I'm going to file them out a little and see it can be improved.

Is the G028's downtube aero-ish in shape? Or is it more of a rounded rectangular solid kind of shape?

Hard to tell from the pictures.

This is pretty much exactly the build I'm trying to put together (albeit maybe with 55 G-Ones instead of burts), how is tire clearance?
