Spcycle G058 New Mold Carbon Gravel Frameset

[hugo]

Could you post some more pictures? Still deciding between this and G056, but I think geometry this would be a bit easier for me (Long legs, short torso, so the very high stack this seems to offer really interests me, because I'd actually like to ride a bike without all the spacers for once)

I really recommend this website to compare Geomerty: https://www.bike-stats.de/en/geometrie_vergleich?Bike1=Spcycle_SP-G056_2022_M&Bike2=Spcycle_SP-G058_2023_M
The geometry of the G058 is slightly more relaxed and it seems it would be slightly better for someone with shorter torso as the reach is a bit shorter. But my main consideration was mostly tire clearance which is sligthly bigger on the G058.

I'm pretty sure the STA is wrong on that page. It's marked at 71.25, but on the tables it's indicated at 72.5.
With 72.5 the XL of this one is well compared to the G056 in L, just about 12mm higher. A 71.25 STA would be very weird, esp seeing that suddenly increases the reach by quite a lot.

Here they did fill it in correct: https://bikeinsights.com/compare?geometries=632176549533910022b2d1a0,64f75c069b8f1900202c25f8,

I've been comparing a lot of geometries, and seeing this one is super relaxed it's likely a good fit for me. Just checking in with SPCycle and Seraph (G048 they call it) now for prizes of some custom paint (Want a red metallic one). Is there actually any diff in which one builds it though? I imagine these types of frames would just largely be the same between who builds them?

I have this frame and bought it for similar fit reasons.

Any pictures?

Me too - I have zero flexibility and a seperate road bike, so relaxed fit makes sense.

I have this frame and bought it for similar fit reasons.  It isn't THAT crazily high stack in reality. 

I see your photo has external handlebar routing while @hugo has set his up semi-integrated. I don't mind either actually, but is yours a slightly earlier puchase? Any thoughts?

@hugo looks like L-TWOO and 140mm brakes, yeah? Might ask for the 160mm adapter.

Which T47 bottom bracket did you buy?

[hugo]

Yes the groupset on the bike is LTWOO GRT12, with 140mm rotors. The brakes are flatmount and they came with an adapter with one side that is 140mm and the other side that is 160mm if I remember correctly.

I originally bought the wrong T47 BB, it requires a T47 internal BB with shell width of 86.5mm. I bought this one: https://aliexpress.com/item/1005005997553550.html (model: B-T47-DUB(86.5MM)).

Ordered mine through seraph with some custom red metallic and black, with matte finish. Will post once I got it in time.

Gonna build it up with GR820 that I already purchases (New secondhand of someone that swapped it for DI2).

[Reiko1]

I just ordered mine without the integrated bar/stem - there is a port at the top of the fork leg if you are going semi-integrated.

As Hugo says it is T47i....I also originally bought the external.  I'm using the Ztto one which is cheap and is almost dead after 6 months (3 wet months) in the UK.  Considering going with the Hope option next.

Hello,
I would like to order the GR048 from Tantan, which has the same geometry. What I don't quite understand: Is the frame from the same manufacturer and Tantan and Spcycle are just distributors OR do Tantan and Spcycle build it themselves but to the same specifications?

[sukerbole1]

Got some pictures of my painted frame. Looks good from the pictures. Its a metallic red + black with matte clearcoat.

@Reiko what is the T47i? I asked for a BB of Tantan that they're sending along with it, can you use a regular T47 (52mm outside) tool for it, or is there some special tool required?

Question to owners: what do you think about the 75 mm BB drop of this frame? It's a bit bigger than usual. Do you have any problems with pedal strikes?

Some frames like Specialized Diverge have even larger BB drop (80 mm), but these are already known for being problematic, especially with slimmer tires.

[Reiko1]

T47i as in T47 internal.  Ztto sent me a tool with the BB.  I did the BB a dis-service.... on dis-assembly the BB was still perfect, it was the ratchets in my rear hub that were gritty.

I've had no problems with the drop of the bike and pedal strikes, not sure if the drop is the same across all sizes (mine is a size small).  There again, I'm not doing anything terribly gnarly on the bike, largely broken tarmac to grade 2 gravel.  I basically ride it as a winter bike when it is too muddy / unpleasant to take my SPCycle hardtail 29er out.

Mine is currently in winter mode and I'm very glad it takes full metal mudguards, this was partly why I chose the frame.

Overall I'd still highly recommend it.
