Yoeleo G21 - Yoeleo's New Gravel Frameset Hey Everyone,

I just finished my Yoeleo G21 gravel build. The design is new from Yoeleo, and I was fortunate to be an early adopter. This Saturday I'm entering a road race (Rough 100) which consists of 90% road and 10% gravel, so I'm running 32c slicks as everyone else. Will report back next week. Happy answer any questions!
 
Frame: Yoeleo G21 (Size Large)
Wheels: Enve G23/Chris King Hubs (1350g)
Groupset: R8000/R7000
Tires: Specialized Roubaix Pro 32c
Pedals: Look Keo (for road)
Power Meter: 4iiii crank arm
Carbon Saddle: Prime Bike
Total Weight: 8kg without pedals

Re: Any chinese frames using high modulus carbon like the real Specialized frames? next gen Spark EVO



all-new Super EVO


Both will be built with the same UHMS material and EPS+ process as the Robin EVO. The current gen Spark EVO is HMS EPS+ while the Super EVO is essentially a Robin EVO but with endurance geometry. Pardus will also take the current gen Spark EVO frame mould (shared w/ Storck Aerfast 4 & Aerfast 3) and make a Spark Sport that's downgraded to HS EPS+.

Re: Tideace FM-CR060 New Mold Gravel Frame 700*47C Here's bike put together. I added some plasti-dip accents over the base paint. Purple pink white and green colors. I put on road chainrings 52x36 and my winpace wheels on for first ride. So I could see,feel, or hear any issues. 

I needed to use two spacers to use my shimano 7000 crank. The chainring bolts would rub the frame without them. I didn't really notice an issue with chainstay being too close for chainring size in 2x. If I had the bike 1x I'm sure there is a max ring.

As with all integrated cables you can't overlap cables or they pinch. The gravel bars are wide but I only noticed when in drops cause they make my arm hang out. I'm sure I'll be thankful for this on loose or rutted up trail for control.

I scaled the bike at 17.8lbs (8.1kg) as road setup and 19lbs (8.6kg) with my gravel wheels. 

Really thinking of going 1x cause I'd like to save some weight and the simplicity.

Rinasclta Granite Aero "All Road" Bike Frameset So I have one of these coming my way. Attached is a photo from the factory

https://rinascltabike.com/granite-aero-disc-road-frame/

-Geometry is more road than gravel
-I ordered a size M/54
-No integrated handlebars, will be using my tried and true FSA NO.69/SRS headset to route the cables.
-700c*38mm max tires size
-While I have an actual gravel bike (Yoeleo G21), it's mostly overkill around here.
-Chose unpainted in order to inspect any flaws, lower the production time, and I genuinely enjoy painting my own frames.

I asked if they share this frame with any other brands, and their response was:
"We share the frame mold with only one friend across internet"

Obviously it's Airwolf since the photos are identical on both websites.

Will keep you posted...

Re: dcrf26 frame - Scott Foil? So I ended up ordering an x38 frameset last night.

Size 56, raw unpainted, 400/120 integrated handlebars. Total was about $700 with UPS shipping and PayPal fees. They quoted me 15-20 days for production time. Lisa from Tan Tan responded promptly to all of my emails and questions. Here are my reasons for the x38:

1. Frame design - I think the x38 looks just unique enough to standout in a world of brands trying to follow the Specialized SL7 design philosophy. This is coming from an Allez Sprint and VB-168 owner. I understand why the Tarmac SL7 is so popular, but it's nice to see an actual aero frame be released (albeit a Scott Foil clone/inspiration).

2. Geometry - The size 56 is both taller in stack and shorter in reach than my typical setup. However, it's clear this frame was inspired by a TT bike. The trend these days is for riders to optimize their bike position more forward over the bottom bracket and on the hoods rather than the drops. Basically a TT position on the hoods. So the geometry makes a lot of sense. My attempt is to replicate this position  :o

3. T47 - Threaded bottom brackets on cheap frames have a high chance to be a nightmare. This is part of the reason I ordered the frame unpainted. It will make for good (or bad) video content.

Overall I'm not expecting this frame to be mind-blowing. At best it would be similar to my Dengfu R12 (also a SL7 clone) which is by far the stiffest frame I've tested for a budget Chinese frame. At worst it's a noodle like my VB-168 but I doubt it based on the design especially around the bottom bracket and thickness of the seatpost and fork.

I'll report back in a month...

Re: dcrf26 frame - Scott Foil? So, here's my experience with the frame, btw i bought it from Sequel Aliexpress, so they sell it with different handlebar, they also include ceramic BB:

Positives:
1) The frame is super high quality, fork steerer is round, bearing seat stay is also perfect fit without wobble, inside is clean and not bad.
2) It's stiff, responsive as my aluminium frame, but much more comfortable (i'm living in Uzbekistan and our roads are not that good), i'm using 28c tyre btw. But some folks including my LBS master and friend who saw how i ride and tried bike by themselves, said that it wobbles a little bit and they said that it's not a bad thing, but i didn't noticed, coming from Aluminium frame and and i wanted the same stiffness.
3) Handlebar is also stiff, and really good
4) I thought that i need to replace ceramic bearings in BB, but by a spin test, it spins extremely good.
5) TanTan made a really good thing with their seatpost, that have rails like TT bikes, allowing you for wider range of movement.

Negatives:
1) Handlebar, seatpost clamp have such a tight fit, that they need to be polished or you just couldn't insert them.
2) LBS master said that he tried everything, by couldn't route cables internally, they are visible under stem, he said that holes in handlebar are small.


Sorry for my bad english and low amount of photos, i didn't have time to make them :)

*update*
Components and everything else for the bike including prices you can find here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NXJkVPyU0gNzbjs-0Z0nKeOFNHTmwJx_35oN1GhVfI0/edit?usp=sharing
The overall weight is 8.3kg
