Potentially my new favorite tire. Feels very supple and fast, is lightweight and has sufficient grip in dry conditions.

Good to hear I also ordered a set

Has anyone tried to use the frame with a road crankset for example a magene pes powermeter with a 1x chainring?

I plan on doing exactly this. Will be swapping over my PES515 crankset with 46T chainring from my Velobuild Aero Grav. I'm running a Rival 13 speed groupset.

My frame is currently in process of being painted so hopefully it will get shipped anytime soon.

Hello there, I was about to pull the trigger for a SPCycle G028, but ready this forum, I feel like the service and quality is quite questionnable. I'm now leaning toward Mondince and the FM376. Your posts suggests the service is much reliable.
Would you confirm that ?

Here's what I'm planning to buy between now and the end of the year (planning on using different chinese reduction days):
Groupset: WheelTop GeX Carbon 93 mm
Crank: Senicx GR3 170 mm
Chainring : Stone 46T 0-mm offset
BB : Senicx T47-85.5-24R
Cassette : SRAM GX 10–52 (12 speed, can't find 13 speed alternatives that are not expensive)
Saddle : RYET 3D carbon
Wheels: Don't know yet

I currently ride a 46T 11-44, I'm aiming for a 46T 10-52 build with larger tires.

I don't know the spindle length of the magene cranks, but my sram road crank with a 46t chainring on a quarq spider don't fit. The chainring rubs the frame.

My frame arrived today. Shipping took 5 days via UPS to Australia. Impressed with the quality of packaging - I've had some parcels from China arrive pretty beat-up but this one looks schmick. Will post some photos of the frame tomorrow.

Hej come on!
You cant tease here something and then let us wait another day.
This ist so cruel

Mhh ok then it would be trial and error. I really hoped the 52 tooth 1x would make it possible to run 1x with a chainring <52 tooth on a road crankset.

Yes, UD glossy. Incl DPD shipping, the price was 720USD.

Built it to see what it looks like and i thinks its a very nice machine.
A friend will eventually buy it, once my new bike is here.

What headset top cap is that under your stem? I would like to set up something similar on mine.

Hopefully will post some pics soon too. Supposedly frame has shipped, but I am yet to see the tracking number.

Its an Acros top cap. Says Merida on it but with a stem installed, its basically invisible. You'll also need their compression plug which is only available as a set with the upper bearing though.

Started to build this afternoon. Should hopefully be finished over the weekend.

I think it's a beautiful frame. The only real miss, in my opinion, is how high the bottle cage sits.With the mount placed that high, it's almost impossible to fit a frame bag properly.

If the change this than this would be my new frame.

I spot a Rpantahi cockpit – nice! Looks like they changed the finish to be more in line with other "matte black" colors for parts. They had a more grey-ish finish before, more like the ultegra-Crankset gray.

And I saw a CSC wheelset. Could you tell some datas? I`m looking for CSC as well, but don´t find the right wheels until now.
