Re: Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201 So after - what felt like an ETERNITY - I finally got to finish my GV201 build last weekend as well. The first iteration, I discussed with all vendors in October last year but ultimately, the design I had in mind was too complex for them to deliver. Put it on hold after 6 weeks of back and forth. Picked it up again late March this year with a new design concept. Talked to tideacebikes, tantan, and LTbikes. Good experience with all 3 of them. Eventually went with LTbikes. Frame was delivered 2 weeks ago. Already have over 300km on it just from this week - love the bike!

I must admit, given the complexity of the paint job, I wasn't too sure how good it'll be (design execution as well as quality of the paint itself). But I think they absolutely nailed it! Probably not a design "for everyone" but I totally dig the colors and patterns.

Went with 2x because I want it to be a race-gravel bike. Tire clearance on the Thunder Burts is, ehem, "existing". Been on 4 dry rides so far where it seems fine. For wet I might need to swap the rear tire for something a bit narrower.

Some pictures attached.



BTW: my first "tinybikes"-bike now has a dedicated website, just to troll the people that were asking what brand that is :D
It's in German obviously but not much text anyway, if you are curious google translate works well though: https://tinybikes.de/

Re: Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201 Build complete,  about to take on shakedown ride in the Dublin mountains. crept to 9.0kg despite trying to stay as light as possible . Longteng gv201, 35mm wheels from Peter, sram axs mullet setup, panaracer gravelking x1 45mm tyres

Update after shakedown.
Hate hate hate the bartape I used, will be replacing it before next outing. Had to rotate bars away from me, so will need to reposition shifters as a result. Otherwise loving it so far, though taking a bit of time to get used to the AXS compared to mechanical - am used to one lever doing both up-and-down shifts on the cassette. Couple more tweaks to position and all should be good I think.

Is it just me, or is the downtube storage a bit tight? I was hoping/planning to 3dprint a mount for under the cover to hold a co2 cartridge/inflator/tubeless darts, and leave the bag in the storage for other stuff like multitool/TPU tube etc, but I don't think that'll be at all possible....

Re: Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201 Finally collected my wheels from the wheel builder today so managed to get the whole thing complete. A couple of laps around the estate and everything seems fine. Will get a proper ride in on Sunday. Currently have it set up with 35mm road tyres.

Love the way it looks and feels so far 🤩

What's going on here? Is it as uneven and crooked in real life as it looks in the picture?

What was the result? What does the finish look like in real life? Is it a straight, neat edge?

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) I received photos of my frame. It is finished. There are 2 issues with the front fork though. They forgot a decal and there is a part of the design painted in another way. they are going to fix this the coming week. overall I'm pretty happy with how my altered Eurobike design worked out.

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) My 58 size bike is assembled.  I was worried that maybe frame will be small. I am 192cm tall and my inseam is 90cm. Seat post is not even half way up so this size should also fit taller riders than me.

Can’t wait for a nice dry day to test it out.

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) Also if anyone is interested and have access to 3dprinter, here is my design for Garmin Varia rigid holder specific to LCR018-D seatpost profile.

Big thanks to Jim from LightCarbon, he was able to sent me seatpost profile drawing in high res and thanks to that he saved me a lot of time in CAD and measuring. I think that was pretty awesome from LightCarbon.

Only thing you will need is M3 hexagon nut (there is a little cut out in holder where do you slot or push in m3 nut) and M3x20mm bolt, puck and puck bolts you can use the ones from original Varia mount.

I also recommend to use at least 3 wall loop and 25% infill (just to be sure just print it with 100% infill, it increases weight for just 2g :) ) in slicer, and PETG material for increased temperature and UV resistance.

I appreciate the effort you're putting in and I've seen your videos, but I'm still shocked by your limited technical knowledge and remain convinced that you've chosen the wrong size frame 🙄

Therefore, I unfortunately expect little that is truly interesting or informative from the video, and rather a lot of trivial and irrelevant content 😬

But that's just my personal feeling 🤷🏻‍♂️

I am happy for any constructive feedback, also learning a lot from (other's) feedback. But on the other hand I also received dozens of positive comments, or via private dms etc. and even LC told me, that they received an uptick in orders after my videos. So even if this video is not for you, who, on the internet could be anyone, a mechanical engineer, technician, bike mechanic or just a regular dude, idk. I am just a latter, which I always mention in my videos. If that video is a waste of your time, than please please don't watch it - Better yet! Travel here, make better videos, be my guest, but until then, please don't gatekeep others.
