Winspace G3

The reviewer presents the Winspace G3, a new gravel frameset that replaces the G2. He highlights its modern design, aerodynamic features, and versatility for both gravel and road riding. He notes improvements in weight and finish, and mentions it can accommodate mechanical groupsets. He weighs the frame, seatpost, and fork, and plans to build it with Shimano GRX Di2.

The reviewer unboxes the Winspace G3 gravel frameset, highlighting its packaging, design, and components. He notes the frame's glossy and matte finish, internal cable routing, and modern standards like thru-axles. He also examines the included Winspace Adventure handlebar, a one-piece integrated gravel-specific bar, and mentions that a build video will follow.

The reviewer discusses the Winspace G3 gravel bike, comparing it to the G2 model. They find the G3 to be a nice road bike with responsive steering, despite a slack head tube angle. They note it is less comfortable than the G2 but prefer its handling and appearance. A major improvement is the traditional steer tube and larger bearings, which prevent headset loosening. However, they experienced a seat post issue due to a tapered clamp interface, resolved with carbon paste and proper torque. They recommend a two-bolt rail clamp for better security.

The reviewer builds a Winspace G3 gravel bike frameset, highlighting the internal cable routing and overall build process. They note that the internal routing was initially daunting but turned out easier than expected, though it became aggravating over time. The bike is built with a mix of used parts and new components like Lun Grip wheels and Panaracer GravelKing tires. After two early morning rides, the reviewer is enjoying the bike and plans to provide a full review later.

The reviewer discusses building a bike with a Winspace G3 frame. He initially used an L2 electronic groupset but had issues with the power cable routing through the chainstay, leading to frustration and eventual return of the groupset. He replaced it with an L2 mechanical groupset (GRT) and a Jaguire shifting kit, which worked flawlessly. He praises the frame's feel and confidence it provides, comparing it favorably to his old steel bike.
