Re: Flyxii FE-02 Build Bike is finally built up and will take it for its first ride this weekend. Lots spacers til I get the fit dialed in. I’ll replace the pedals with some SPD pedals. The saddle came with an obnoxiously long bolt that extended up frighteningly close to the cutout so I had it trimmed down a bit.
As you can see the clearance between derailleur and frame is a bit tight in certain gearing, but should be ok.

Re: Flyxii FE-02 Build First ride report.

Took it out for a quick spin this morning. Mix of paved road, rough tarmac, washboard farm roads, and a rocky little descent.
I’ve only been riding my 30 something pound trail bike do this thing feels super light! I also miss suspension.

Bike does handle well and I see the benefits of the flared bars.

Only issue is some flex in the rear. I can hear the brakes  rubbing slightly when climbing out of the saddle. Mostly flat where I live so not a huge annoyance, but an annoyance nonetheless.

Re: New Airwolf YFR056- Winow GF23 - CW GT30 - SPCycle G058 gravel frame 700x50, T47 Hi Moof123, can you please post some photos? I'm also considering this frame in a medium. What is your height?

I have contacted SP for some photos of a built up bike

Re: New Airwolf YFR056- Winow GF23 - CW GT30 - SPCycle G058 gravel frame 700x50, T47 This frame is also sold by Tantan as the GR048 with integrated cables. I've recently built it up; here's what I wrote in another thread:
The quality of the frame seems to be good, and the headset area is uniform, comparable to what I've seen from Lightcarbon. The bearings fit securely without being difficult to press in. The frame also looked good on the inside, very smooth with no crinkles visible. Assembly went smoothly, but routing a mechanical groupset through the handlebars would've been a nightmare; even with Di2 it was tight in some spots. Pulling the shifting cable through the chainstay also took some effort.

The full build with bottle cages, computer mount and pedals is 9.1kg. With a lighter saddle and removing the many heavy accessory bolts in the frame, it should go down to around 8.9kg

I've only went on one ride, but first impressions are good. Due to the longer wheelbase, slack steering angle and low BB, it feels very planted and stable on gravel, especially on descends. On the road it almost feels too stable though, coming from a more CX based frame (GR029). Definitely less agile and slower turning. The frame itself feels stiff and efficient, and the handlebars feel much stiffer than my previous Deda Superzero stem/carbon handlebar combo. Will update once I've ridden more.
