Frame is here. Everything looking fine. Bottom bracket screwed in super smooth, seatpost and storage cover fit snug and tight, frame looks clean on the inside.
All parts included. Didn't weigh anything because is really don't care.
Without any stickers, its looks boing. So i made some graphics. Gonna call it WYDE.

The pathfinder tires measure 56,5-57mm and have huge clearance. Threw in the 61mm mtb wheels and they would probably fit as well.

If someone in Europe is interested in this frame, i'm willing to sell it. Immediate availability.
I just put in an order for another bike and probably won't build up the FM376 anymore.


is this raw carbon glossy finish? i might be interested!

It's unreal how bad is their QC man. like, they only had to check if the seatpost fits or not before shipping... it's a 10 second check ffs

That’s not really the idea, different branding on it as it’s not open mould. Also a risk from a trademark perspective.

In other news: no toe-overlap for me with the 2.4 tires, size M frame, shoe size 43, cleats quite normal. Did a bunch of single tracks yesterday and the GRT felt fine to me in the slower stuff.

Short clip of the stuff I did in my Strava post: https://strava.app.link/mWuYFMydL4b

great to know! now the real question is... is it more FUN to ride than the Tideace NOAH?  ;D

Great! Can't wait for a more detailed comparison vs. the Noah once you're ridden it more kms.

And please keep sharing more and more pictures  ::)

All in all $2,000 including handlebars (+ $250) & shipping.

This is getting into QUICKPRO / TAVELO almost SEKA territory

but none of those brands offer a frame like this. Tavelo is the only one "close" enough

bike is now available for purchase in xmcs website  ::)

Some updates you may be interested in:

- Branding: in 2026 it will remain the latest XMCS logo as shown. Also possible to order without decals on DT
- Working on something similar to AERYS for 2027 -> trademark applications take time
- We have taken the feedback about the chainring size to heart and Peter / designers will investigate if they can make some small refinements to the chainstay so that we can fit - at best - a 50T. May - according to Peter - result in the frame no longer being compatible with mechanical groupsets as it may get tight to route cables through the DS chainstay. Once this has been clarified, I’ll update here (and on our website, instagram/other channels).

wouldn't that require building a new mold and everything? does that mean the launch is getting postponed? thanks!

i was waiting for more content on the bike, looks very promising and will be very hard to not order one  ;)

A comparison with a fork from a similarly priced LongTeng frameset. Never seen a carbon job as messy as on the SP cycle. In addition my frame has bubbles in the top carbon layer in the frame comaparment and several other small defects.

SP cycle answered my mail on Monday and told me the following:
I opened a case with PayPal, let´s see.

and just like that they lost me as a potential customer lol what a terrible answer considering how AWFUL those forks look, yikes

10
Some of the roughest carbon quality i've seen in years. I get that price is cheap but that's borderline dangerous to ride. Overall frame looks good and could make a solid, modern build, but man not willing to play the lottery with those forks

11
are those thunderburts 2.1 or 2.2?

12
> current market is boring
> picks the most boring gravel bike of 2026 as reference :D

13
No one cares that this is still a long and agressive frame?

coming from a Tideace Noah which is even lower and longer I think this will be more comfortable both front and rear

14
so fits 57mm with 6mm each side?
so cool!

15
eager to see some builds with this frame :popcorn:
