Re: Spcycle New Mold G068 Carbon Gravel Frame

You’ll have to tell us about the ride quality, and how you liked it.

What kind of terrain do you ride with it?

I am 179/83 and got the frame in size S. Personally, I find their sizing recommendations somewhat on the large side. I am pretty happy with my size, very sporty ride, while still being stable in the front (I only tried the 55mm trail setting). I live in Switzerland and have ridden 600km so far, about 60% gravel/CX-light and 40% road. The 45mm tires in combination with the 25mm inner width Elite Gravel wheels are great - very capable off-road. Frame clearance is about 8mm on the side with true to size 45mm tires. With the Conti RS tires its about 2kmh slower than my Venge - while being 20mm higher and 20mm shorter in front. On the downhill with 70kmh its rock solid (with balanced wheels).

The handlebar from SPcycles was only okay, as the rivets for the Garmin mount were glued in crooked - so i had to file them flat. The screw sits still not flush.... Otherwise, no complaints for the price of 120USD. Middle of the road with respect to flex. Bought it in 80/450 to match the progressive frame geo.

In conclusion: I can only recommend the frame, paint is great (except around the bottle cages and overspray on the brake mounts) and rides very well so far. Looked very clean on the inside. I am now thinking about selling the Venge.  ;) Its a pretty good do-it-all bike when paired with wide, fast rolling tires.

I hope that helps.

This is a thread about G068, not about what u ride and what you look for.

Sheesh - the guy is interested in the bike, has a set of requirements and this frame fits that requirement. Harsh crowd.

This is exactly what I've gone for from PeterWheels on here. I love them and an absolute bargain.

What are your wheels shown in the picture exactly? I love undulated wheels and my gravel bike is desperately looking for an upgrade  :D

btw.: really nice looking bike!

Frame just arrived. I've tried putting in the BB and fitted the PES Magene onto it. Everything seems to be working fine. Crank was rotating freely.

Do note that I only did a quick test fit, seems adding a bit extra spacer on the drive side will help add clearance in case of mud or dirt.

Btw, anyone know what's the strange part in the bag for? It has the word DS068 labeled on it. Seems like a bending tool for hoses?

I'm also tempted to replace the headset Clamp. Anyone had issues with the default one?

That’s the seatpost wedge, very crucial! Put it in before the seatpost, with the front of the frame tipped down so the wedge doesn’t fall into the seattube.

Re: Spcycle New Mold G068 Carbon Gravel Frame Ordered this frame in pearl white and received it before the holidays.
Everything looks great over a quick inspection. Minor excess paint on caliper bolt mounts that I was able to remove easily with just an Xacto knife.

Bottom bracket went in smoothly.

I’ll update with my build details, weights and pictures.

For now I wanted to share that I fitted the Bontrager RCS stem and headset cover and it seems to fit perfectly on this frame using the provided metal c-ring and the Bontrager cover.

Re: Spcycle New Mold G068 Carbon Gravel Frame Stupid question, but what's the story with integrated cable routing with traditional stem and bar? Is this possible with the parts that are shipped with the frame? In the same way it's done on Tarmac SL8 or Scott bikes essentially, which means cables enter the top cap of the headset.

Edit: they have this headset cover which seems suitable for that, is this shipped with the frame? https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005004709209450.html

Re: Spcycle New Mold G068 Carbon Gravel Frame Frame came the last days, started building it up.

Mechanical shifting, fully integrated is a pain in the ass but now I have all outer cables set up. As I'm planning on runing it with a traditional stem and bar with no integration, i have to use some spacers under the stem to get the cable under the stem.

Curious on how it will work in the end :D
