Re: Gas Cycle Nitrogen 6069 alloy budget road frameset

For those who have had the frame, is your building process smooth? I've seen people addressing cable routing hole and BB tolerance problems for their framesets on Chinese social media. Besides, this brand's customer service is nonexistent. Though for this price I wouldn't ask for too much as long as the frame itself is safe to ride.

My BB was fine. I'm just using a regular threaded Ultegra BBR60 bottom bracket. My cranks spins smoothly. The cable routing through the chain stay is a bit convoluted, it exits out the down tube and underneath the chain stays. Routing my rear brake hose had to be done top/bottom. It's a pain to try and route it bottom/top (from chain stay thru down tube). I'm not sure if the new version fixed that problem. My head tube bearing cup were actually very snug and looked perfectly round. Having built several bikes, it was still fairly easy to assemble.

Like I said, I had low expectations, but for the price it's a fun frame build. My goal was to build a poor man's Allez Sprint. Though with the new version, it's now a poor man's CAAD14!  :D

Re: Gas Cycle Nitrogen 6069 alloy budget road frameset OK, this is a different bike frame model from Gascycle and I didn't want to start a new thread for an already established brand, so apologies in advance for "necroing" this one.

While scrolling on Taobao, I found this VERY interesting budget rim brake alloy frameset from Gascycle that some of you folks may be interested in too. I am, cause I love CAADs, rim brakes and I've got spare parts to equip this frame - that I want to introduce my friends this summer to road cycling or for joyrides. Pictures attached from what I could gather in the reviews. It's not on Aliexpress yet, but new products are being added so this may come soon.

From what I can read and collect, this is a Gas Cycle Helium 6069 rim brake frameset model. The advertised weight is close with my CAAD10's real weight and could definitely be fantastic for a road racer / project bike (shown in attached pictures). I was not able to find if this includes the fork nor the weight - but from the reviews, I think it does. My estimate is around 350g - 400g? A reviewer said that their size 51 (which is actually a large, I believe) frameset came in at 1330g in total.

This comes in red, green and silver. The attached picture of a completed bike build in green from a reviewer says that their bike is equipped with a DI2 12 speed rim groupset and 1270g 38mm carbon wheels - weighing 7.15kg. This weight does not include the water bottle or the bike computer.

I'm interested in this frame myself, but I'll need to figure out how to get it here in Canada. May take a while... But if I get it in my hands, I'll update everyone.

Re: Gas Cycle Nitrogen 6069 alloy budget road frameset Not saying it looks pretty, but I've seen big brand forks with similar.

As for the headset, if it's a IS52 bearing seat a proper bikeshop should be able to ream that correctly for you. Also here, you'd expect that to be done from the factory, but at least that would make it rideable.

Do you have some pictures of the frame?

Re: Gas Cycle Nitrogen 6069 alloy budget road frameset Recently I put on some CSC wheels on my Gas Cycle frame. Normally I don't like wider tires, but these 32c Panaracer Agilest Duros I'm running are pretty darn fast.  :)
