Re: SPCycle (R065 T1000) Aero
i considered SP Cycle when i bought various frames in the last 2y. i have never found people saying bad things about them, but for some reason, they seem much less popular than the likes of Velobuild and others. This model wasn't available when i bought my long teng, otherwise i probably would have bought that, because it's a newer model than my LT. It ticks a lot of boxes for an aero frame in 2024. SP Cycle is the same as Tideace, Haideli, Disai and more. I posted last week on that, someone else here is looking at this frame i think. So you may want to email all these people to see what's what.

Re: SPCycle (R065 T1000) Aero
I’m really close to order this frame as well. Right now, it would cost me 500 € plus tax and customs, when I order on AE, since they got a sidewide discount code (80 dollars on 499 dollars of spending). Seems pretty attractive with handlebars and chameleon paint. The only reason I hesitate is, whether I‘d pioneer on the SP-Cycle or go with one of the well tested options on this forum: Light Carbon LCR017 or Velobuild 268. I‘m uncertain if I would like the more aggressive look of the Canyon Aeroad or the pleasing look of the other two options. SP Cycle R065 all the way in chameleon could be something, which I dislike after a couple of years, too, I‘m afraid. I‘m also wondering, at which point of the order I get to choose the size of the handlebar/stem combo or if they only allow that option, when ordering on their website. Besides that: maybe someone could join this topic with the older, existing one below? June 04, 2024, 04:06:49 AM |

Re: SPCycle (R065 T1000) Aero
Shipping to Germany. Same for you, I assume. There has to be some kind of communication after the purchase. At least for the colors, otherwise there wouldn't be an option to choose, which solid oder metallic coloring you'd like. Coupon should be valid till friday. Maybe I'll figure out the sizing until then, too. Canyon and Spcycle both advise the same size. Canyon named it M, Spcycle L. Seems as if Spcycle just took the chart and size recommendations of the Aeroad. I'm 1,83 with 88 cm legs and I am at the upper top of that range. So kinda unsure, if a XL with my relatively long upper body and high flexibility isn't an option. June 04, 2024, 07:00:41 AM |

Re: SPCycle (R065 T1000) Aero
So in case, somebody else is thinking about this frame. Right now it's $640, when buying on AE via Seller's shipping method so that no additional fees, customs, taxes etc. should apply. Regular pricing on the website is $720. All said for chameleon paint and a frame with handlebars. Anybody else interested in buying the R065, yet? Any known issues with SP-Cycle or the frame in particular so far? Any thoughts before buying this over VB268 or LC 017? June 06, 2024, 01:17:38 AM |

Re: SPCycle (R065 T1000) Aero
I've mentioned on here before, but SP Cycle ships fast if they have a frame in-stock. My last frame I bought from them took exactly 14 days from China to my front doorstep. I'd buy from them again if they had a frame I wanted.

Re: SPCycle (R065 T1000) Aero
Thanks for those replies and thoughts! I really appreciate it. In terms of the use-scenario it‘s a mid-thing here in East-Germany. If I drive north its flat, going south I got my 500m ascends. So something of all in a good mix and the R065 should handle that well, if it behaves a bit like an Aeroad. I was definitely looking for something more Aero, so that I will combine the frame with Elite Drive 50mm wheels and a SRAM Force. Since the wheels and the shifters are the last missing parts, I am not in a hurry at all, though. Fast shipping actually would be a problem to me, since 5 wks of vacation are ahead. I will start building the bike in nov. or dec. earliest. Some ride on my Wahoo Kickr to figure everything out and do the fitting and then head out in march. I am really curious about the first R065 builds in this forum, I will probably add mine, if I really do one more tiny step and order it till tomorrow. June 06, 2024, 12:06:07 PM |

Re: SPCycle (R065 T1000) Aero
There's more than one offer of that frame on AE. I was given the answer... Quote (...) When you place an order, you can note the handlebar size in the order message. Did you try this offer? June 07, 2024, 12:08:35 AM |

Re: New Frame Winow Sports WR054
Do you plan an XL size of the frame? XL is still under design and will be available in XL size later. July 07, 2024, 07:41:07 PM |
