No the are both 160.
I thought so too and wanted to go to 180 at the front, but they are 140mm in the front so you need that +20mm adapter to go to 160. In the back they are 160.

So if I understand correctly, you are saying front and rear are 140mm compatible? Just curious because I have a pair of 140's and would like to use them if possible.

Just finished my build aswell. Weight of painted frame is 1270g+ fork 520g, size L (183, 87cm)
Ordered additional srews on downtube. Overall happy with quality, few loose fibers visible with an endoscope. Was delivered without rear axle which sucks but Jack offered to send me a new one or to pay for one. Did not really care of weight but overal weight is 9kg.

Good looking bike! - congrats. Are those 140mm rotors? If so, how did you make that work? I thought the fork was designed for 160mm.

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 36mm width, absolutely reliable. I just ordered another one for my Addict RC.

If you have any questions about the frame / bike, let me know!

Congrats on the new build - that's a good looking machine. Can you tell me what wheelset you have here including depth?

Unfortunately, the Q Factor of a road crankset is too narrow. The chainrings will rub against the frame. You could theoretically add axle spacers, but only a limited number, which likely won't help. Before the frame arrived, I asked Spcycle about mounting a Shimano 105 crankset, and they replied that the frame was designed for GRX cranksets with a larger Q Factor.

Thanks for your feedback. The crankset I was planning on using was an old ultergra 6600 triple. I'm guessing the small chainring would clear without issue (and larger q factor). With this in mind, do you happen to know if this would be compatible? Thanks in advance.

Just did a ~4km test ride to bed in brakes etc. Rides great from first impression. Still have a bit of a chimney above the stem, due to playing around with the stack. Will probably leave the spacers how they are right now (20mm including headset topcap) and shorten the steerer. Running 2.4" Pirelli Scorpion XC RH atm. but I think I'll go down to 2.25" thunder burts for my normal riding.

Can you tell me what type of bars those are? I'm looking for something with short drop like this so my neck doesn't get mad at me.

What was the issue with the 105 crank? Curious cuz I was planning on using an old Shimano 6600 groupset.

Yo guys. Find attached the photo of my project.

Very nice. What frame size?

Can someone with frame at hand confirm that frame sizes s,m,l correspond to 46,49,52 respectively (center of BB to top of seat tube). This frame at light-cycling.com shows a large as 58cm which seems way long. Thanks in advance.
