yet that should do the trick.

This definitely fixed it. Thanks!

I'll take more and better photos later, but this will give you a glimpse of the paint quality on the Noah I received.

I've got the Tideace frame and the Lenox handlebar.
I've used the bearings and the metal C-ring that comes with the Lenox handlebar and got a little bit of play (1 or 2 mm). Do you know how can I fix it? Using the plastic C-ring?

Does anyone run a GRX 1x setup with a Magene PES P515 powermeter? I'm going for this frame and just sourcing all other components. I'm a little bit confused, as sometimes an offset is mentioned to improve the chainline. I'm not sure if I just can get this chainring https://pq-bike.com/products/pass-quest-r110bcd-round-road-bike-narrow-wide-chainring-36t-58t-bike-chainwheel-ultegra-r7000-r8000-da9100-1?variant=36519305150626 or if I will run into problems?
And related to the frame, does a 44T chainring fit?

EDIT: Seems some guys in here have a 44T chainring, however no GRX setup, hope it has a neglectable impact. I want to go for 44T and 11-51 cassette

I think you will have no problem with the 44T chainring, although the chainline you get with the Magene crankset may need to be adjusted a few millimetres with spacers.

I want to say Eddy is the man if you need a bike frame. I ordered my frame on the 3rd of March and it was painted and shipped on Monday and I got it on Wednesday. If that's not fast service I don't know what is.  Total 16 days from ordering it to my door.

Looking at this frame... Where did you get the frame protectors?

Please help me out with the sizing of this frame, it's difficult for me to decide which size would be right for me.

If I choose the size 54, then all the sizes are perfect, but the reach is too long. To compensate this, I would need an 80 mm stem which is very short.

If I choose the size 52, the reach is fine with my originally used 100 mm stem, but the stack would be very low and I would need at least 30–40 mm of spacers, which I think wouldn't look good.

For reference, I'm 178 cm tall and my inseam is 82 cm.

Which one do you think would be more ideal?

Probably a 54 frame with a 90 mm stem. It's just a 1 cm difference and you'll have good control while keeping the frame size you need.
If you feel the reach is too much, go with the 80 mm stem. As @Er7ik said, you'll probably get good handling in almost any situation. You might miss a longer stem on some difficult technical trails, but not everyone rides that kind of terrain.

I want to install the new SRAM Rival AXS E1 crankset, but there's no wide version available. Do you think a 45 mm chainline could cause any issues? I'm wondering if the chain might get too close to the frame or the rear tyre.

EDIT: I'm seeing that the Magene PES515 have a 44.25 chainline and since some of you are using that, I guess I'll be fine with 45.

I've finally decided to go 2x. After talking it through with some friends, we all concluded the same: 2x is the best option if I want to use the bike in both disciplines.

I'll go for a SRAM Rival/Force AXS. I'm thinking about 160 mm rotors. Do you know which adapter I'll need?

You can definitely fit a 46 Chainring, I had a 46T Wolftooth chainring on an Magene Power meter crank but the chainline was not ideal.

I would recommend the 42T with 3mm offset combined with the 9-46 Cassette as this will give you a better chainline.

All this depends on your groupset, I don't like running ZTTO with SRAM or Shimano as the indexing is just not always perfect in all gears but if using one of the Chinese groupsets that will be great.

Im running GRX with 42T and 10-50 Cassette. I Live in a hilly area and never need anything smaller than the 10 or bigger than the 50. Even considering going to a 40T with 10-46 now as I seldom use the 10.

Thanks for the answer. I live in a hilly area too, but I'm probably a high speed fan, since right now I'm riding on roads (on another bike) with a Shimano 105 Di2 and 50/36 chainrings, 11-34 cassette and even the 50-11 combination it's not enough for me.

I'd like to make the GV201 an all-road bike, using it on road with one set of wheels and on gravel with another set. To do that, I'm searching for a good combination that could work on both situations.

I'm powerful enough to climb the steepest hills with a 42-44 combination on my actual gravel bike, though I probably find it easier with a 42-46 combination. That's why I'm looking the 9–46 cassettes, because I need high speed on downhills and preferably wide cassette for the steep hills.

A 44T or 46T chainring with a 10-50 cassette should be a good combination too, but at the cost of some weight... Though if it has to work better with the SRAM Rival XPLR rear derailleur than the 9-46, I'm all in.

I'm thinking about buying this frame. Is it possible to mount a 46T chainring on a size 52 frame without any issues?
I'm also wondering what would be better for an all-road setup: a 42T chainring with a ZTTO 9–46 cassette or a 46T chainring with a 10–50 cassette?
