Nope, very little interest by the gravel folks for 2x so far.

I must be the only one still hoping to use a 2x drivetrain. Any updates on when the redesigned frame will be available?

Interested. There's a mention in their website about a new mold with bigger chainring capacity. I suppose this is not it?

I’d like to hear about your experiences with SPCYCLE. My fork broke while still under warranty, but whenever I bring up the warranty, SPCYCLE goes completely silent. Have you had the same experience?

Which frameset did you get?

I posted in the other thread about their newest gravel frame. I ordered from them both the frame and an integrated handlebar. The frame was ok but the handlebar had some dimension defects. I contacted them about it and they never replied. I went as far as trying to call them to the phone number they have on their site and trying to message them over WeChat.

I'll never buy from them again now that I know that they don't have any type of customer support

I tried to reach out to him over Whatsapp and the email addresses that are on his website. No luck yet. I purchased a wheelset and wanted to purchase an extra freehub.

Seems like they don't want our money  ;)

I desisted on trying to get a hold of anyone at Spcycle. Best I can tell, it's a one man operation and I think they are actively ignoring me via all of their known email addresses. I even tried to message them over WeChat and called them over the phone to the number in China that appears on their website and nothing.

I took matters in my own hands and got one of those carbon fiber repair kits that you can buy on Amazon and added one layer of carbon inside the stem clamp. It worked really well. As for the rest of the frame, everything looks good, I guess.

Ill post a thorough review of Spcycle as a vendor later but as much as I liked this frame, I probably won't be buying anything else from them knowing that they won't stand by their products.

Took some measurements to see whether the issue is in the fork or the handlebar and I think it's both?
The fork tube doesn't have a uniform measurement but also the handlebar clamp seems to be bigger than it should. Looks to me that it's just manufacturing issues. Pretty bummed out about the whole situation

Disappointed to report that I started putting together the frameset the last couple of days and I think either the fork or the handlebar is defective because no matter how much I tighten the clamp, the handlebar still moves laterally.
The handlebar is the HB068

Adding some more pics. Overall, everything looks great. Painting was metallic #13. I asked for a fork with no rivets and they were happy to provide.

Just got mine delivered. Looks great

I've had this frameset for a couple of years and I'm super happy with it. I can actually fit 45mm tires on it which is cool and have done many gravel events with it. I'm moving on to a different frameset for a proper gravel setup with wider tires but I'll keep this as my all-road bike. The last race I did with it was the BWR in California and performed really well.

Looking to put together a leisure bike for my wife and wanted something similar as the Specialized Roll Low Entry. Any ideas? Maybe I'm not looking for the right thing but don't see any relevant matches on Aliexpress. Thanks for the help

Inhave these bars and they are really good. I wanted to replace the stock cockpit in my Velobuild CX and these ones do the job really well. Might get another set for a different bike

15
I've been keeping an eye on buying just the base bars in 37cm since I already have the rest of the setup but unfortunately, you are only selling the complete aerobars?
