GANNA Angle° Integrated Handlebar
HandlebarThe GANNA Angle° is a Chinese-made one-piece carbon cockpit (handlebar and stem) that resembles the Roval cockpit. It features a -10° stem angle, 30mm stack, 71mm reach, 125mm drop, 30mm flare, and comes in widths 36-42cm and stem lengths 80-140mm.

Spcycle R098
FrameThe Spcycle R098 is a carbon road bike frame that appears to be a clone of the Colnago V5RS, sharing similar geometry and design. It features a full internal cable routing, disc brakes, UDH hanger, and supports 700x32C tires. The frame is no longer available on Spcycle's website, possibly due to legal pressure from Colnago. It is similar to the R088 but with updated aesthetics. Weight and exact pricing were not discussed in the posts.
AI Summary
Pros
- Aesthetically pleasing design with thin, high seatstays
- Compatible with standard parts (e.g., 27.2mm seatpost)
- Similar geometry to high-end Colnago V5RS
Cons
- Frame is no longer available on Spcycle website, likely due to legal issues
- Potential reliability concerns as it is a clone of a known design
- Lack of response from seller when asked for more photos
Key Points
- Carbon road bike frame, disc brake, UDH hanger, full hidden cable, 700x32C

Spcycle G028 Gravel
FrameThe SPCycle G028 is a new carbon gravel frameset offering massive tire clearance up to 700x57C or 29x2.25 inches, making it suitable for monster-cross or drop-bar MTB builds. It features Toray T1000/T1100 carbon, T47 threaded bottom bracket (85.5mm shell), UDH hanger, full internal routing, and flat mount disc brakes. Frame weight is around 1000-1050g (size M unpainted) and fork ~450g, though actual weights can be higher (e.g., 1200g frame, 460g fork for raw carbon with clear coat). It has passed ISO 4210 testing. Sizes M and L are available now; S and XL expected mid-May 2026. Pricing is competitive: available on AliExpress for around $739-924, or from the SPCycle website for about $628 including DDP shipping. The frame can be ordered without rivets on fork/seatstays or with custom paint upon request. Multiple metallic colors are offered. However, significant quality concerns have been reported: many forks exhibit rough machining, voids, and exposed carbon fibers around the brake hose port, with some users deeming them unsafe. Seller has agreed to replace some defective forks, but replacement forks still have poor finish. Other issues include paint overspray, headset preload problems requiring shims or third-party parts, a poorly sealing plastic storage door, mismatched thru axles, and absence of build instructions. Some users have also reported a too-narrow seat tube requiring sanding. Communication with the seller can be slow but some users received responsive support. Despite these drawbacks, early builds report a good ride quality, ample tire clearance, and successful builds with various groupsets (SRAM, Shimano, Wheeltop) and 1x/2x setups. The frame has seen considerable sales and positive feedback on geometry and modern standards. Official torque specs are now available: seatpost clamp 6 N·m, compression plug 12-15 N·m, T47 BB 25-40 N·m.
AI Summary
Pros
- Very large tire clearance (700x57C / 29x2.25")
- Lightweight carbon frame (1000-1050g) and fork (450g)
- Modern standards: T47 BB, UDH hanger, full internal routing
more pros in the review
Cons
- Long chainstays (435mm) may be a negative for some
- Paint overspray in BB area and rear brake mount
- Aesthetic: angled headtube design seen as unnecessary by some
more cons in the review
Key Points
- Material: Toray T1000 + T1100 carbon fiber
- Tire clearance: 700x57C or 29x2.25"
- Bottom bracket: T47 threaded, 85.5mm shell width

Avenger R8RS
FrameThe Avenger R8RS is a carbon aero road frameset from Avenger, priced at $1669 with an integrated Y-type handlebar and aero extensions, or $1399 with a standard road handlebar. The frame weighs 964g claimed for 52cm, and a size 56 complete build weighs 7.4 kg including pedals and computer mount; some users have built it under 7 kg with premium components. It offers 34mm tire clearance. The bike features a proprietary headset system that allows switching between the integrated cockpit and standard handlebars via a spacer kit; the frame ships with one 0.5 cm spacer. The geometry is similar to an endurance bike with a short reach and upright position, but some users note it is comparable to the Cervelo S5. However, the advertised stack is misleading; actual stack is lower than stated due to handlebar rise measurement and a 2.5 cm head tube notch, with users measuring approximately 606-607mm for size 56 and recommending subtracting 3 cm from the chart. The frame is incompatible with mechanical shifting. Build quality is praised, and the frame comes with silver titanium bolts. Discount codes are available. The stem can be purchased separately for $80, and an extra Y stem for $100. Some users reported issues with titanium bolts and headset adjustment, including headset play that can develop after rides, often attributed to plastic spacers creeping; solutions include higher torque, carbon paste, or replacing spacers. The brand name 'Avenger' is perceived by some as toyish. The frame is compatible with electronic shifting like SRAM AXS, and hydraulic hose routing is straightforward. Custom paint jobs are available for $150. Overall, the R8RS is a versatile aero frameset with good build quality and impressive speed, though its geometry, proprietary cockpit, and misleading specs may not suit all riders.
AI Summary
Pros
- Innovative integrated Y-type handlebar with aero extensions, suitable for fast solo riding and ultra endurance.
- Good build quality and finish, consistent with previous Avenger/HongFu frames.
- Versatile: can convert between integrated cockpit and standard handlebars using a headset adapter.
more pros in the review
Cons
- Price increase over previous Avenger/HongFu models; some feel the markup is not justified by engineering improvements.
- Geometry is conservative (short reach, upright) and not progressive; similar to endurance bikes, limiting aero potential.
- Proprietary cockpit and steerer design (D-shaped?) may limit aftermarket compatibility.
more cons in the review
Key Points
- Frame weight: 964g claimed for 52cm.
- Size 56 complete build weight: 7.4 kg (with pedals and computer mount); some builds under 7 kg.
- Price: $1669 with integrated Y-bar and aero extensions; $1399 with standard handlebar.

ONIRII FLASH
FrameThe Onirii Flash is a lightweight (claimed 798g) aero road bike frame sold on AliExpress, inspired by the Look 795 Blade RS with a very low stack (15mm). It is part of Onirii's lineup alongside the One Pro (850g, similar to Spcycle R088). Users note decent value for fully built bikes with Ultegra and accessories, but highlight very low headtubes requiring extreme saddle-to-bar drop or spacers.

AI Summary
Pros
- Lightweight frame (798g claimed)
- Good value for fully built bike with Ultegra and accessories
- Responsive customer support on AliExpress
Cons
- Very low stack (15mm) leads to extreme drop or need for spacers, negating aero benefit
- Past issues with barstem mislabeling and wrong sizes
- Frame likely OEM rebrand (similar to Spcycle R088) with markup
Key Points
- Claimed weight: 798g (Flash), 850g (One Pro) for size M unpainted without aluminum parts

INCOLOR SR "Speedster Intropy"
FrameThe INCOLOR SR "Speedster Intropy" SR/SR+ (also referred to as SS/SS+) is a high-end Chinese aero road bike praised for its stiff front triangle, stable downhill handling, and excellent build quality. It features a 28.6mm round steerer, T47A bottom bracket, and clearance for up to 38mm tires, though actual clearance with a front derailleur may be limited to around 32mm. The frame is relatively light (around 890g for size 54 painted), but the integrated handlebar is noted as heavy (around 400g for 130mm stem). The bike offers aero performance close to top-tier bikes like the S5 and SL8, with a comfortable rear end but a stiffer front. The integrated seatpost (ISP) on the SSR model is a polarizing feature due to limited adjustability; however, Incolor now offers seat clamp spacers with different offsets for additional fine-tuning. Paint quality is delicate and chips easily, so protective film is recommended. The stock thru axles on the SR+ have poor hex fit and are not compatible with Specialized axles. Incolor provides a 30% crash replacement discount. The bike is available through distributors like Ciclisti (EU) and PandaPodium (US), with custom paint options. Long-term owners report high satisfaction, with some noting the seatpost clamp can crack or loosen, and the fork crown area requires regular cleaning to prevent paint wear. A Cyclingnews review was critical of comfort, but many users dispute it, citing proper setup and component choices.
AI Summary
Pros
- Very stiff front triangle and handlebar, no flex when pedaling hard.
- Extremely stable at high speeds and downhill, feels faster than actual speed.
- High build quality and attention to detail, easy assembly for experienced mechanics.
more pros in the review
Cons
- Integrated handlebar is heavy (around 400g for 130mm stem), and the top part is uncomfortable to hold due to 20mm rise.
- ISP (integrated seatpost) on SSR has very limited adjustability (only 20mm via spacers) and requires careful cutting; no fine-tuning after cut.
- Front end transmits more road buzz and big bumps to hands compared to some competitors (e.g., SEKA, SL8).
more cons in the review
Key Points
- Bottom bracket: T47A (77mm)
- Tire clearance: 38mm (measured, but tight with knobby tires; with front derailleur, 32mm may be max)
- Steerer: 28.6mm round standard
