I like geometry, except seatstay angle. Lexons are oddly small in sizes?

I have always thought so.

Design seems BMC Twostroke "inspired" but geometries are a bit "old school" - see head angle and seat angle while bb drop is very very low - if the numbers are correct.

Interesting the headset 52/52.

In few words, a mix of old and new.

This frame is a lightcarbon 914

what do you think of this frame?
any feedback about SPcycle?

It looks a bit like that BXT hardtail frame that came out a while back due to the kink in the seat stays. If I recall, at least one person had problems with cracks at the seat stay / seat tube junction on the BXT. I would worry about there here too because it is a light frame and that sort of design puts a lot more stress at that junction. The geometry looks good though.


I don't have any experience with spcycle.

I have built bike with this frame (size M) for my girlfriend in september. I think it is the best downcountry hardtail frame at this moment - good reach numbers, good saddle position, perfect headtube angle (66.0 with 120 mm fork).


I have found only two problems:
1. Chainline must be 53 mm or wider. With smaller numbers chainring is rubbing chainstay. Checked with 32, 34 and 36-teeth chainrings on M8100 crankset (52 mm) and installed M8000-B (53.4 mm) without any problems.
2. Some calipers with 160mm rotors can not be fitted into the rear stays (M6000). But I haven't any problems with M8100 and M7100 with 180 mm.

Yesterday I have recieved the same frame for me and my friends building another two bikes with this frame. Chameleon painting is awesome.

Very nice!
Reach and stack a bit short but it is the only eastern front suspended frame with 67 head angle and 75 seat.
62mm bb drop is also fine.

Looks good, I'm strongly considering this frame. Can I ask how tall is you GF? I'm 5'7, thinking the 17" (medium) should be good. Also, what do you think of the seat stay? Is this a compliance thing? It looks less strong then a straight stay.

What's the weight of this frame?
Does it have ZS type headset so angleset can be installed?
