Re: Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201 I'll do a youtube video of the build.

I've gone for a ZTTO T47 BB. No idea if it'll be any good or not.

Alugear chainring and Magene P505 (hopefully it fits). Ltwoo e-gr groupset with an out of spec 11-50 ZTTO cassette (currently installed on a Ribble CGR).

Re: Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201 Build in progress. Some quick fire notes before a much more detailed review post-build:

Good:
  • Paint job is immaculate. Really impressed
  • Shipping was quick considering it was custom
  • overall laypup quality seems very good from what you can see internally

Bad:
  • They didn't include the downtube storage toolkit bag which was expected. Have contacted them, so hopefully they can send it.
  • The hole for the rear thu-axle is nor circular or at all a close fit for the thru-axle. It does seem to clamp down well and not move, so maybe not an issue in-use
  • The various mounting bolts are crazy heavy. I've swapped them all out for practically weightless rubber bungs or titanium bolts
  • I had to space out the magene P505 by 2mm, not because it fouled the frame (I might have needed a really thin spacer) but because my 46T chainring fouled the chainstay. 46T isn't massive for a 1X, so that's worth bearing in mind.

Paint looks great.  When you do your buildup I'd love to see clearance of the crank on the non drive side (mentioned it above) for a crank PM.  Also, what is the steerer tube diameter?  I was told 52mm, which is definitely not it.

The thru axle hole being large isn't a good thing.  That should be a pretty tight tolerance hole.  What diameter is the hole?

I'll try to answer all of your questions later today. The steerer tube is standard 28.6.

There's a short video attached to this post of the complete build minus chain. Full weight including pedals, garmin, etc 8.6kg which I think is very reasonable. 8.4kg with chain, without pedals and garmin.

Full build list:
  • Tideace Noah custom paint
  • Wheels from Peter (search forum). Custom spec - 24mm internal hooked wavy rims, pillar wing spokes, ratchet style hub
  • Lexon UNOX gravel handlebar
  • Magene P505 power meter spider/cranks (167.5mm)
  • Alugear narrow/wide chainring (46T)
  • LTWOO e-gr groupset
  • ZTTO 11-50T cassette
  • ZTTO T47 BB
  • RYET ultralight saddle
  • Panaracer gravelking 43mm tyres

Pictures in the first post here show measurements of the clearance.  Smallest is 66mm.  With reasonable clearance (6mm a side?) something like 2.1" should fit comfortably.  2.2" may be stretching it a bit.  It would be good to see what you get in your measurements, though.

BTW, those wheels are awesome.  Oh, and where did you get those bungs?

Thanks. A great service from Peter being able to spec everything as you wish. If there is one thing, I would have liked a wider internal rim width (maybe a 27/28) but they are still tremendous value.

Re: Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201 Thanks for the feedback from Jonny.

INCREDIBLE gravel frame!
If you're reading this, you're probably mid-way through the same process I went through - trying to work out whether or not buying a direct-from-China bike frame, is something you're going to regret - can it really be as good as a "big bike manufacturer?".
Well I've had my NOAH for a month now and so far, so fantastic. I am about 180cm / 74kg and I went for the 54. I am finding the fit as good as any bike I've ever owned. The aero handlebars that Tideace make are brilliant too. I love the flat section on the tops and the drops are the comfiest - and I've tried quite the selection.
Craziest bit - I entered a UK gravel event on 3rd August 2024 and out of 165 riders, the NOAH was the fastest bike by about 15 mins. THE FASTEST. Read that again.
I obviously can't recommend it enough - if you've read this far, you should buy it, it's BRILLIANT.
