In euros to be precise without the PayPal discount we are at €743 :)

How did you get the €110 discount?
I can only get a €70 coupon and use a few coins to get some more off.

This week I've had Quick Pro lobbyists asking me to substantiate my views as to why I wouldn't sell all my other bikes for this ER One. So I started to recount all the bikes over the years I've truly enjoyed:

-Winspace T1500 Gen 1
-Giant Propel Advanced Pro
-Scott Foil RC Pro
-Tavelo Arow
-Allez Sprint Gen 1 (Rim Brake)

Sorry to go off topic real quick, but I did see your Velobuild VBR-368 review and was wondering how you would compare it to this list.
Ofcourse it's a different price point etc, but I'm just curious since you have had to chance to test so many different framesets, and I might be ordering the VBR.

Thanks in advance, love the vids!

What the plan for the carbon lay-up? Also, which corresponds with this, whats price range we can expect?

It's a tough time looking for a frameset as someone being over 2 meters (6'7"), especially in the asian market.

I'm looking for a frameset which will have at least a stack of 610mm & reach 410mm, looking in the € 500-1000 range
Prefferably a more aero oriented frame. And it can be either gravel or road, looking for 2 different builds actually.

So far my best option I have been able to find is the Velobuild Aero Gravel in size XL, perfect for the gravel and decently fast on the road I guess.


Please give me some suggestions as I'm getting lost in the woods of all these frames which aren't even my size.

I'm wondering why EliteWheels hasn't been mentioned, I feel like they are really well known and they have some class wheelsets.
Is it because they are a bit "western" that they don't really fit this subject or are the other mentioned brands just better?

Tideacebike

That frame will look awesome in size XL.

Have been eyeing this frame for a bit, reccon I'm going for the Chameleon green paint.

What's you guy's favourite paint colours?

As someone quite tall (200cm) I felt left out with these frame sizes, but still love this endurance all-road style, especially the combination of aero and 38-40mm tire clearence.

I send an email to LightCarbon asking about bigger frame sizes and got a reply of no plans of bigger frame sizes.
However they also told me: "for size 58cm, the C-T is 560mm."

Am I checking the wrong frame geometry or is it not 560mm but 530mm?

LightCarbon got some good choices as well.

LCG071 (Gravel) got a C-T of 580mm for the biggest size.

Sadly their newest road frame will only be available in max size 580 with a C-T of 530mm...

Works in progress....

That looks insane!
Was this custom paintjob done by SPCycle when buying the frame? If so, would you mind letting me know how much you paid extra?
I'm really debating on getting the SP-G068 and this paintjob is on the top of my list now.
