Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: SPCycle G028 new gravel frame with 57mm tires clearance
« on: October 15, 2026, 04:25:47 AM »Took my G028 out for the first "real" ride yesterday.
My other two bikes are from Scott, an Addict RC from 2020 and an Addict Gravel from 2025. Both are much more race-oriented with a more aggressive geometry.
The G028 rides like a charm, very smooth, very solid, still quite fast. It is slower while cornering, but that is very expected with the different geometry. It was pure street / tarmac yesterday, so I couldn't really test any offroad capabilities. Sure, the 2.2" Dubnitals (Trail casing, not Race casing) aren't that fast on the Road (compared to my beloved GP5000 AS TR), but more than ridable.
I don't love the head tube / top tube intersection, looks kinda goofy. Not sure why they designed it like that, I do prefer the look from the Mondince FM376. I also do prefer the seat stay / seat tube junction of the FM376, but it's fine. I do prefer the downtube bottle cage mounts on the SPCycle, they're way too high on the FM376 in my opinion.
My hacked SRAM crankset × Shimano Derailleur drivetrain runs great, no issues here. I might upgrade to SRAM XPLR down the line, but so far I'm very happy with this setup.
The Rpantahi cockpit is really good, super clean looking, nice 360mm width, absolutely reliable. I just ordered another one for my Addict RC.
If you have any questions about the frame / bike, let me know!
Your build looks really good! I’ll try to recreate this colorway, but with a matte finish.
Florian, do you have any overlap with size S? And maybe you could give me some advice on sizing: S or M? (175 cm, 81 cm.)
