Top cap was the issue, solved with some creative solution
I bought frameset on official spcycle website.
I have frame and almost all parts ready (90%), but need time to build it![]()
Painting is not perfect, but not bad as well.
For this money - it will be nice Aeroad clone
So I finally got my first 300km in, and I love the bike, it’s nice and fast & light and got good tire clearance. Got it mostly for the tire clearance, then decided I wanted to make it light on a budget aswell. Building it was a little bit difficult, mostly the brake hoses & headset stuff I found really difficult. But it rides well, and I trust it now.

Frame was a bit heavier than expected, but it’s still good for XXL size and custom paint. Will upgrade the pedals to faveros as soon as I get road shoes. Tested on a bit of gravel already and is faster on cat1 gravel than my gravelbike. 46-30 was a bit too difficult for my local climbs, might have to get a 10-33, was planning on upgrading to Red anyway. All in all I’m pretty happy, similar spec as 8 grand bikes in the bike shop, for about €2700.
