I really like this frame.  Looks like it is time to upgrade my 5 year old gravel frame.

I just placed the order. Size M, mid-June

does anyone know who makes this frame for SPCycle?

Listing is up on Ali

Finally spotted it from my country too! I've been waiting for this G028 to pop up on Ali https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005012261048037.html

It looks great, but man, those $170 shipping fees

Why not to purchase from their website? It's 520 EUR shipping+duties included.

Are you sure duty free shipping is free/included in the frameset price? Honest question...

Yes, 628$ incl. DDP shipping by ordering over their website.

Because I trust AliExpress more, which still acts as an intermediary between the buyer and the seller. However, in this case, where the costs are much lower, I'd say I can "take the risk."

You know you pay through PayPal, which would cover you in case of an issue.

This is strange - the frame has fender mounts, but fork isn't. Only cage mounts. Maybe there will be on production units?
I kind of want this frame but fullsize fenders is a requirement.

7 items of this frameset were bought on AliExpress during this week. That's pretty impressive! Hope soon we will see the bikes built on this frameset and will read first reviews on it.

Oddly enough their listing has vanished from Aliexpress this morning.

hey mate, did they tell you they would remove the rivets from the seatstays? i asked and they said they can only remove them from the fork, but not the frame

Meinier GRL15 - the same frameset but without rivets on fork https://aliexpress.com/item/1005012297282161.html or https://aliexpress.com/item/1005008070039330.html

Interesting.
The listing for the 2nd link seems confused and misleading though. Photos accompanying the reviews are of a different frameset.

Seems to be a common practice among the ali sellers. Instead of creating a new listing they update an existing one that had sales and reviews

chinese brands always doing some dodgy shit
