Thanks, it’s uhh purple I just ordered from aliexpress so it’s called purple glossy. I don’t have a colorcode.

I think it’s finished… for now. Maybe I will test it tomorrow.

Congrats, great looking bike! Is that an S size frame?

Is there a weight / quality difference between the Spcycle and Meinier frames? Has anyone weighed an XL frame with paint?

I don’t know maybe someone with more experience with both brands can you tell you more.
I went for Meinier because of the qc control issues with the spcycle forks. But the meinier one also wasn’t pretty but nothing to worry about.

Got my frame shipped, about 1 month after the order was placed. Custom paint job cost me 100 Euros.
Im pretty happy with both the frame and the paint job, will post assembled bike later.

Could anyone of the SP028 (or similar bike geometry from other suppliers) owners let us know some testing experiences?
How is it on Street (geometry looks comfortable, but is it fast too)?
How is it on trails and off road?
Did someone rode very rough grounds?

I`m 179cm long and have appr. 86cm innerleg length, but don´t have very long arms. I tend to size M, would you agree?
I would like to ride such a frame with 2.2 odr 2.25 tires and for the most rides it should replace my MTB.

Thanks in advance.

I have the same measuments as you, for sure you need an M size on this frame, as me. Regarding the arm length, you'll need to use a shorter stem than me...

[Martinejant]

sure, its the Lexxon Unox

Hello. I recieved the frame and the handlebar (Lexon Unnox). How do you mount it? With the handlebar it comes 2 different spacers to put between the top bearing and the top cover of the headset that comes with the handlebar (for integrated routing). But with one of them (the metallic one), there's any space between the cover and the frame, and the handlebar dont turn smooth. And with de plastic one, there's too much space between the frame and the top cover...
Thanks!! (And sorry for my english... Im not using translator)

Does this frame work with a road specific groupset like 105 or Ultegra?

Hey.

Unfortunately, no. I tried a Shimano 105 7000 crankset and it didn't work. I now have a GRX 1x crankset and it's fine.

What was the issue with the 105 crank? Curious cuz I was planning on using an old Shimano 6600 groupset.

Unfortunately, the Q Factor of a road crankset is too narrow. The chainrings will rub against the frame. You could theoretically add axle spacers, but only a limited number, which likely won't help. Before the frame arrived, I asked Spcycle about mounting a Shimano 105 crankset, and they replied that the frame was designed for GRX cranksets with a larger Q Factor.

The current 105 has the same q-factor (148 mm) as the Magene TEO @methylamine built with.
It's true for older generations though.
