Reviews & Ratings
The reviewer provides a detailed unboxing and analysis of the Quick Pro GR:ONE gravel bike frameset. They describe it as a 'flagship 3in-1 frame' with versatile, aerodynamic, and comfortable geometry, handbuilt in China. The reviewer praises the premium packaging, the 'marble gloss gray' color with visible spread tow carbon weave, and the true monocoque construction. They note aerodynamic features like a deep head tube, huge down tube with cutout, and dropped seat stays. However, they criticize a major geometry flaw related to the seat post offset and slack seat tube angle, which they believe compromises aerodynamics. They also note limited tire clearance (max 45mm), a potentially short seat post, and some minor manufacturing marks. The frame includes a T47 bottom bracket, integrated cable routing, and comes with various accessories. The reviewer concludes with mixed feelings, stating the bike seems caught between disciplines but is unique and visually striking.
AI-Summary
Pros
- Premium packaging and presentation
- Beautiful 'marble gloss gray' finish with visible spread tow carbon weave
- True monocoque construction (made in one piece)
- Smooth internal finish from EPS molding
- Aerodynamic features: deep head tube, huge down tube with cutout, dropped seat stays
- D-shaped seat post and seat tube for stiffness with a cutout for compliance
- Quality bottom bracket area with perfect threads and no paint in the shell
- Well-executed headset bearing surfaces
- Includes many accessories (spacers, sturdy computer mount, Di2 battery clamp, rubber plugs, front derailleur cover)
- Unique and eye-catching design
- Handbuilt in China as a mark of quality
Cons
- Major geometry flaw: seat post has too much offset and seat tube angle is too slack (73°), forcing an upright, non-aero seating position
- Limited tire clearance: maximum specified width of 45mm, with a 44mm tire measured at 46.5mm leaving very little room (only 5mm hex key clearance at chainstays)
- Seat post may be too short for some riders (only 75cm from BB to saddle clamp at minimum insertion)
- No zero-offset seat post option available (one from AR1 model doesn't fit)
- Design doesn't align with current gravel trends (e.g., not fitting 50mm+ tires)
- Fork brake mounts have a slight wobble/are not perfectly in the same plane
- Bottom bracket shell width is 68mm instead of potentially more optimal 85.5mm
- Some fine lines/seams visible on tubes from mold manufacturing (considered a cosmetic insight by reviewer)
- Large gap around tire near fork crown (optical flaw)
- The bike is in a 'weird in between ground', not excelling as an aero race bike or a modern high-clearance gravel bike
- Price ($2000 for frame, ~€2000 total) is close to Western frames, questioning the value savings

The reviewer built their dream gravel bike using the QUICK PRO GR:ONE frameset. They discuss several features and experiences with it. They note the seat post cutout provides noticeable flex and contributes to a comfortable ride at the rear. They mention the frame's tire clearance, stating the 44mm Tufo Thunderos inflate to about 46.5mm, which is near the maximum the frame can take, and express a slight desire for the option of wider tires. A significant initial issue was the lack of a zero-offset seatpost option, which they later solved by installing a zero-offset seatpost from Quick's AR:ONE model, though it lacks the matching spread-tow weave and the compliance cutout. They praise the bike's overall ride quality, describing it as comfy, fun, fast, and a machine they want to spend all day on. The complete build, including this frameset, is noted to be lighter than comparable complete bikes in the same price range.
AI-Summary
