Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: SPCycle G028 new gravel frame with 57mm tires clearance
« on: August 14, 2026, 04:56:51 AM »
Hello,

Has anyone here who is relatively small ridden this frame?

I'd like to build one for my girlfriend. She is 163 cm tall and currently rides a Canyon Ultimate Wmn XS on the road.

I'm a bit worried that this frame might be too long for her. The reach is 385 mm in size S (top tube 533.6), while her Canyon Ultimate XS has a 368 mm reach (top-tube 521mm).

She is currently using a 380 mm handlebar with an 80 mm stem.

Any feedback from riders around her height would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Pierre, have you finished your build and can you share your impression on the frame?
Thank you!
HI! The build is complete, no problems during assembly. I just needed to put a thin layer of aluminum between the frame and the seatpost, because the frame tube seems a bit larger than 31.6 and my Transfer SL seatpost (not in the photo)  are very sensitive to excessive torque on the seat clamp.

I’ve done a few rides with the frame, a long ride (100 km) and also an XCO race. No problems! The frame works very well. Best hardtail I’ve ridden. Regarding the added comfort from the X-Fader, I’m not really convinced... the frame isn’t uncomfortable but I don’t think you can feel a big difference compared to another modern hardtail.

Sorry I couldn't resist the temptation to add stickers..

It's exactly the same frame as the M08, but without the 'x-fader' part, right?
The specs and geometry are 100% identical. I ordered an M08 frame in size M, UD matte :)
I'll post pictures when I receive it.

Hello,

I received mine: 1139g, size M, UD matte finish without accessoires.

The finish looks good. The chainstays seem a little “fragile” and the clearance seems limited with a TUFO XC12 2.35. I'll see once it's fully assembled and I've ridden it.

The geometry matches that of the Orbea Alma, but there are some differences in the frame design. It's not a perfect copy, but rather an inspired frame.

I'm curious to see if the “X-Fader” really has an effect.

Assembly is scheduled for the end of January. I'm planning on a 100 mm fork instead of the 110 mm indicated in the geometry chart—I'll see how that affects the handling.

You could try applying a varnish + a few grains of sandpaper on the seatpost (only on the part that will be inside the frame); in France, at ACTION stores, you can find an “anti-slip” varnish with grains in it. It’s meant for floors, but it should work!

Can you share a photo of where the "Aeroplug" attaches? Is there a visible hole there because of it?

I had 3 problems :
- Rear brake mount was not flat, had to face it AND file the connection between the two screw holes (because the facing tool only face on 10mm diameter).

- Seatpost doesn't hold, Tantan says 8-10 Nm but even with 12 Nm, Carbon Paste and alloy foil from can, it slips. I need to find a solution.

-The front derailleur mount is also too much to the exterior, wich leads the derailleur to touch cranks arms. I tried with 105 di2 and ltwoo erX. As well as with ultegra cranks. I had to put a 2mm spacer on the crank axle

Otherwise i only did a 50km ride on the flat, nothing special, i'll see in the mountains.

Edit : the frame with derailleur hanger front and back, rear axle and screws was 853g in size 49, clear coat and black paint

Any updates on this frame and the issues you mentioned?

I’m considering buying an X68, but this frame also looks interesting. After seeing the fork problems on the X68, I’m being cautious with this model as well.

Did you manage to fix the seatpost slipping issue and the front derailleur alignment problem?
Also, which handlebar are you using with this setup?

Thanks for your feedback.
