Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: 32 inch or 60mm Max tire GRAVEL

Hey guys, I am thinking about my new gravel bike, based in Poland, road/off-road ride are 50/50. Initially I was thinking about a 57-60mm tire gravel bike which can do most of the work. But after Unbound gravel 2026, I read a lot about the Scott 32inch gravel bike which sounds quite interesting to me.

Now question is, should I wait for the 32 inch gravel bike or choose a 60mm tire 700C gravel bike? Anyone who owns such bikes could you share your experience?

There are rumors that UCI will classify 32" as illegal for racing. Of course, most people do not race in UCI-sanctioned races, but manufacturers often do not produce what is outside of UCI regulations and therefore the products will stay pretty niche.

I think it’s finished… for now. Maybe I will test it tomorrow.

Nice build, enjoy your rides!

Have they made a change in design in the seat tube area already?
Look at the comparison between yours and mine.
Also, the clamping on yours is different from mine. Yours clamps with the two bolt on the back of the seatpost, mine has an inserted clamp.

To save more money, only get the Force cranks and Rival E1 XPLR for the rest. RD is virtually same same and levers only miss the bonus buttons (and bleeding edge brake bleeding).
Go for some csc wheels, ordered a set off Ali last week for under 300€ (32 internal, 50 high).
Swapping the frame for Velobuild Aero Grav will save you another 3-400€. But I understand the LCR020 looks nice.

And another logo option released today.

it all comes down to a matter of taste.

my opinion: In an age of almost unlimited possibilities with AI, a logo like this is absolutely unacceptable  ;)

Just got picture of a real finished frameset, just one picture not much, but better than nothing :) (handlebars are still 3d printed in photo, Jim says handlebar are still in process of testing).
The only thing I dont get why they decided to turn around front thrue axle, but otherwise I think it looks pretty good.

PS: frame size in picture should be size 54

wow frame looks really nice. Cockpit does not look good indeed, but with a length of >120mm it will look good (I hope)

Rear clearance with 2.1 Thunder Burt (55mm WAM on 32 internal rims)
6mm hex key for scale.

Hello everyone,

I got my G028 frame a week ago and today when I tried to put a seatpost in I encountered a problem. The seatpost couldn't go down the seat tube because the hole was too narrow.

I reached out to Spcycle (who responded almost immediately) and they told me to sand it down to help the seatpost go down. Problem is after a bit of sanding the hole was still too narrow. They suggested to sand it heavily as this area is really sturdy and there is a lot of material. After quite a lot of sanding with a coarse sandpaper I got the seatpost to fit (still really tight). But now one of the area I sanded has no visible carbon anymore (see pics).

What's your suggestion ? Is it ok or not ? Spcycle told me to use the frame with confidence but I rather have some other opinions.

Thanks for your help.

Without defending SPCycles obviously poor manufacturing and QC, I think the frame is good to ride without any worries.
Also: better a tight fit for the seatpost than a slippery fit ;)

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure if it's possible. If it does fit, the clearance would be right on the absolute limit, maybe too tight to be safe.
To give you guys some context, mounted on my 32mm internal width rims:
The front tire (Maxxis Rekon Race 2.35") actually measures 62.6 mm.
The rear tire (Maxxis Ikon 2.20") actually measures 58.3 mm.
As you can see in the pictures, the 2.20" already leaves a somewhat tight gap at the chainstays. Putting a 2.35" there would add over 2mm to each side, leaving almost no room for mud or wheel flex under load.

thanks for your effort + the infos!

Hi everyone, after gathering all the parts, my Spcycle G028 build is finally assembled! I wanted to build a fast but capable gravel/monster cross bike, and I am absolutely thrilled with how aggressive it looks.
The only detail left is the chainring. I need to change it to a 0mm offset one because right now I am running 3mm of spacers on the crank spindle to make it fit, and I want to remove them. Other than that, she is ready to roll!
Here is the full build breakdown:

Frame: Spcycle G028 Carbon (Size S, Matte Black)
Wheels: CSC Carbon 50mm depth, 32mm internal width
Tires: Maxxis Rekon Race 2.35" 120 TPI (Front) / Maxxis Ikon 2.20" 60 TPI (Rear)
Shifters & Brakes: SRAM Rival AXS E1 (standard SRAM pads)
Rear Derailleur: SRAM S-1000 AXS T-Type 12-speed
Cassette: 10-50T 12-speed
Chain: KMC X-Flat Waxed 12-speed
Powermeter & Cranks: GEOID PM500 (165mm)
Bottom Bracket: Spcycle T47-24mm Ceramic
Chainring: Wuzei 44T (currently 3mm offset)
Handlebar: Kocevlo Carbon 380mm
Stem: Platt Alloy 80mm (-6 degrees)
Bar Tape: Standard silicone wrap
Seatpost: Toseek Carbon 27.2mm
Saddle: Balugoe Carbon (Specialized Power 143 replica)
Pedals: Shimano Deore XT
Bottle Cages: Standard alloy cages

I've attached a picture of the final setup. Let me know what you guys think!

nice build! would a 2.35 fit in the rear? I only tried with 2.1 Thunderburts (WAM 55mm on 27mm internal rims) and there is still a good amount of clearance.

I am 183 and ride an M. I think with 186 I’d go for an L

To everyone who has already built up the frame: Am I correct assuming that I don't need the lower crown race that is delivered with the headset? When I try to install it, the fork won't go in and leaves a 5-10mm gap. When I don't install it (seems like there is an integrated molded-in crown race with the fork), everything is flush as it should be.

Correct, at least that is what I did ;)

Hi All, first post. Joined as I'm leaning more towards Chinese products and saw the LCR020-D in some YT videos and was taken by it.

I was, and still may, going for the XMCS VRT but the LCR020-D looks a good option.

I've emailed LC but not heard anything back. Does anybody have more up to date details on when the frames will be available for order?

Cheers.

I ordered (size 56, HBR20 130/380) end of June and made a 50% down payment.
Got the info that the frame takes 2-4 months...

Received my gravel wheels (32int, 50deep) today. 4 weeks from payment to receival in Germany.
Including free spare spokes, valves and installed tubeless tape.
Definitely one of the best values out there currently.
