Re: Spcycle New Mold G068 Carbon Gravel Frame Canyon recommends a size S for 172-178cm on their Grail geometry chart (which this is the same as).

Canyon's 'small' is equivalent to a medium/54 in most other brands.

Hi new here and looking to build out a gravel bike and this frame has me interested as I'd like UDH. I'm stumped on size as this my first gravel bike, I'm about 178cm and sounds like from the posts here the small size is the way to go.  It would be odd as I mountain bike and am on a large there so was expecting to be a medium road/gravel bike.  Anyone sized one and recommendations?

I'm about 180 cm and the size small is perfect. It weirded me out too, considering both my previous road and gravel bikes are 56 cm frames, but the geometry charts didn't lie. Canyon's sizing, which the 068 copies, is just really weird and skewed larger, especially on this frame. Don't pay attention to the size labels, just the geometry. bikeinsights.com is my preferred geometry comparison site since it has the 068 info in there already, plus most other common frames, so take a look if you have a reference bike that you know fits well.

Re: Spcycle New Mold G068 Carbon Gravel Frame For anyone interested in tyre clearance, I mounted my new XMCarbonspeed 28mm int / 36 ext wheels into the frame with Tufo Thundero HD 48mm tyres. Don't have actual width measurements as I don't have a caliper.

There's about 6mm of clearance all around in the fork and about 4mm at the chainstays. You could go slightly wider on the fork if you wanted (probably 50mm max) but I'd say it's just about on the limit at the rear for general gravel use (that is, only go wider in super dry conditions).

EDIT: update - measured width on the tyres is 48.5mm.
