Title: Recommendations for bike build
Post by: Leon0008 on May 25, 2025, 12:04:35 AM

Hey everyone,

Last week I was tidying up my shed and realized I’ve accumulated enough spare components to basically build up two road bikes.

I’ve had some experience ordering from China (mainly wheelsets) so I figured...why not put together a budget build?

Here’s what I’m looking for:

- My max budget for the frame is around 500 euros

- Tyre clearance is not a big issue, as long as 28mm fit

- Disc brake compatible

- BSA bottom bracket

- Integrated cockpit would be nice, but is not required

- More relaxed geometry, not looking for anything too aggressive

If anyone has recommendations for a nice frame with reliable sellers, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

VeloBuild 066 fit most of those criteria, except it has a threaded T47 bottom bracket shell rather than BSA. I have this frame, and I can happily recommend it.

So I was doing some online searching. Is it correct that Seraph, Tantan and Spcycle the same company?

Yes for Seraph with Tantan but not SPcycle.
