Hello, did anybody try Spcycle HB-069 Aero handlebar?

https://ali.click/6laoo1v

Its aero part is added to spcycle HB-068 gravel handlebar.

Here are some pics of this aero handlebar.

Hi! Could you tell me, please, what colour is your frame? Is it solid purple? Does it have matt or glossy finish?

honestly, the high stack in combination with the high slope does not look good

I think that is because Jarkko2410 made this photo with wide lens (1x) of his phone and proportions of the bike became distorted a bit. If he photographed it with zoom lens of his phone the bike would look better. Have a look at the photo of this bike in the same M size by xcelrec photographed with zoom lens probably

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.

Plz, let us know - do you have the problem with tire overlap with 29x2,4 tires and cranks of what length do you use?

I don't have all the parts yet, but I'll probably be finished by the end of this weekend.

Cool! Will be waiting for news from you. What tires will you use?

You got the handlebars from Mondince as well, right? My frame only came with a headset for standard stems, but I want to run an integrated setup for a cleaner look.
No, contacting them wouldn't really help me, it isn't something you could resolve without moving the cover higher up on the downtube. Why they didn't place it there in the first place beats me. 

Crank & Power Meter Clearance Note:
For anyone wondering whether a road crank with a spider power meter (like the Magene PES P515 or GEOID PM500) fits: technically it clears, but the chainstay clearance is virtually zero. It's too tight to run safely, so unfortunately I'll have to swap to a different crankset.

Hi! How the build of the bike is going?)

Quote from: clayp on September 14, 2026, 05:58:39 AM
My Size L frame arrived today. Overall, the finish and build quality look very clean out of the box.

Actual Weights (without thru-axles)

• Frame (Size L): 1,400g
• Fork: 506g
• Seatpost: 250g (definitely on the heavier side)

Initial Observations

• Bottle clearance: Can confirm the bottle clearance issue is still present in Size L. If you mount a bottle cage directly to the downtube storage compartment door, you will need an extender/drop bracket to fit a second bottle comfortably.
• Fork slots: I ordered the fork without utility slots, but the outlines/ghosting of the slots are still visible under the finish. It does not bother me much, but worth noting for anyone expecting a completely smooth profile.
• I dry-fit a Ritchey Switch headset I had lying around, but ended up with an awkward gap at the head tube.

For those who have already built up this frame: which headset model/stem setup did you use, and did you manage to get a flush fit without a visible gap?

Will post detailed photos once the full build is underway.

Did you write Mondince about this bottle cage mounts problem?

Has anyone tested actual tire widths and frame spacing?  the 57mm version has 6mm on each side of the tire if it's a 57.  Is that the same for this version?

"I don't have a caliper at the moment. Measuring with an allen key, it's ~6mm each side on chainstay and seatstays the 8mm fits. Fork the 8mm also fits, plenty with the tire measuring ~61mm on 32mm inner width rims"

What is the length of your cranks? Do you have tire overlap?

It would be cool if you could extract rubber inserts for luggage from the fork and take a pictures of fork without them to be able to see how they are made. I asked Mondince about it but they didn't make such pics.

Thank you very much!👍👍👍

Wow! Cool build! Could you measure and take pics of clearances between tire - fork, tire - seatstay, tire - chainstay plz, plz, plz🙏🙂

I'll snap some better photos once the sun is out.

Hi! Did you complete the build?

Quote from: acador on August 22, 2026, 01:49:45 PM
I managed to build it up today,
still not even ride ready, but at least it looks finished. Don´t mind the tyres, i am waiting for a bit bigger thunderos, but for now it´s what I have on hand.

The build went pretty okay, I managed to build it without cable routing tool. It was a bit pain around few places, mainly handlebars, but i managed.
BB is not alu shell, both sides are bonded independently. The water bottle on screws on the storage cover are unusable for bottle holder if you also have a holder on seat tube. The storage space is extremely small and with the cables in foam running on bottom, there´s really not a lot of room. I will have to source bag from thinner fabric so hopefully, I will fit there at least multitool, plug kit, pump and tyre levers.

The wuzei chainring is 44t with 4.2 offset screwed on road dub cranks. Sadly my 40t rival chainring does not fit - too big offset on road cranks, so i will need to find something different because the wuzei one is extremely noisy. The chainring has around 2mm space around chainstay.

Hi! Did you have the opportunity to try 29x2,4 tires? Did you make some more rides? How it rides, how it handles, how it feels?)
