Please tell me if this crank with these chainrings will fit without a problem. I'd like to install a Shimano 105 7000 crank with 46-34 chainrings, but Spcycle replied that it might be a problem. What are the distances between the chainrings and the frame?

I can say that I had no problems with my setup. Probably a chainring bigger than 35T would not fit. Also I made sure to put some washers onto Magene's axle to get a chainline around 47mm as SHIMANO declares for GRX (this also helps to move the small ring away wrt the chainstay).

Hello everyone! I ordered from their website at the end of May and I just got it. I asked for a custom paint and the result is good (but not perfect). Overall quality seems good, also considering the price. The fork also looks in a good shape.

Back again, this time sharing the final build and a few notes after putting some rides on it (400km).

I had quite a bit of trouble with the headset setup. The stock configuration just wouldn't preload properly no matter how many times I tried to adjust it. In the end, I solved it by mixing parts: Deda (top cover + expander) together with some Kocevlo components. Now everything is solid and smooth.

One small thing I noticed: when I fully stretch my legs, I sometimes touch the seat stays. It's more of a habit/body positioning thing than an actual issue, and not a dealbreaker at all, but worth mentioning.

On the ride side, I feel very confident on the bike. The handling suits me well, stable but still responsive. I can comfortably ride no-hands, which I couldn't really do on some other frames I tried with different geometries.

Overall, pretty happy with how this build turned out.
