At least this frame is still available in a rim brake version, and in the preferable direct mount style. Disc brakes are complete overkill for a lightweight road bike. Btw, I've been using YBN chains with my Campagnolo equipped bike for a year now. They work great, and are a better value than the KMC chain that I was previously using. Great to see you back making videos, Joe. Hope you're well.
Thanks Marc! I do love making these videos. I also love Winspace, haha. Winspace is going great, but it's just so so so busy. I always say "I'll make a China Cycling video tomorrow" and before I know it a few months have gone by.
@@ChinaCycling Not surprised its going so well. WS marketing has done an excellent job in the past 12 months or so, clever to send products to youtube reviewers which has really boosted interest here in Aus. Keep up the great work, but I really enjoyed your reviews on chinese parts particularly what was poor vs high quality. Prices of mainstream components in Aus have been insane for 2 years so never a better time to explore off brand gear that works and lasts.
Nice storyboard format Joe with a good balance between the bike, the parts (we need Taobao just like we have Ali) and your personal journey so far with various SLCs you've had. Nice to see you back posting!
Completely agree with you on the direct mount brakes. I used direct mount 105 on my unbranded road bike build. I honestly think that they feel better than the Dura Ace 9100 rim brakes on my other bike. That are the normal single mount. Thanks for the video. I've actually been looking at the Winspace frames for my next build.
@@ChinaCycling most people I've talked to about them have never heard of them. But the common misconception is that rim brakes just aren't good compared to disk.
Great video Joe & China Cycling. Inspiring. You look so comfortable on those bikes! Just flowing up the hills and along the roads in China. And great history you share with this one. Love all the weight-components break-downs and tech information.
If it's trash 🗑 I would let you know 😏. I like the history and the tech talk and you know I am a weight weenie so all the ⚖ scale action 🎬 gets me quite excited!
Just subscribed + Pretty hyped for this light weight build you've got planned. thanks for the brands listed as well! Im gonna sus the stem, seat and cranks for my own light weight build cheers
I've got an SLC frameset on order. It's been sitting in Xiamen Airport for the last 8 days, waiting for a flight. I'm going to build it up for a specific event using "real world" components. According to my spreadsheet it should end up about 6.5kg. I'm hoping the Chinese New Year won't delay things too much.
Great video. I'm in Shanghai and have had so much trouble finding larger frame sizes so I've just ordered their T1300 endurance model in XL. Wish me luck.
Because I'm in China, the channels I buy from (Taobao) are different to the channels used by overseas customers (Usually AliExpress.) I have never bought anything on AliExpress, but it always comes across to me as a bit like the wild west. I don't wanna recommend a particular seller in case their service is less than stellar. If a seller has their own website with direct sales then I'll usually throw in a link (I believe I have for XCADEY before.) Sorry that it means you have to find the things yourself. I encourage people in the comments to share reliable sellers on AliExpress though! :)
@@ChinaCycling Could you share the taobao link for the cassette, please? If not getting a new bike, I'll probably ask a friend who's going to come back from China to Canada to get a cassette for me.
@china cycling. I use the china Taobao too.. What the name in Chinese for the Sroad Cassette, Generic Carbon Handlebar? Cannot find in 淘宝 search in English
Good to see you back. I really want to order this frame. But I just can't get a groupset in the UK. Wish they would lose the press fit BB too. Looks fantastic . 😀
Can't wait to see the new paint job! But I do love the Kanazawa--too bad it isn't available in my size anymore. Here in Boston there is probably a zero percent chance I would run into another one. There are too many all black/white bikes so anything distinctive gets my vote/purchase.
@@ChinaCycling I love how distinctive the Kanazawa is but I am sure your new color will be awesome as well! :-) Are you only making only 10 of the new color :-( If you run into a 490 rim (preferable) or 490 disc Kanazawa let me know. Thanks Joe!
Love the 'story type' video. Funny with the paint, in the past I've taken to a frame with a spray can to be different and brighter. Getting a job with the company is another way to do it I suppose 😎.
Can you speak to the aerodynamic difference between the lightweight climbing bike in your video and Winspace's more aero specific offerings? On the flat, are the Winspace aero bikes notably faster? Nice review, thanks.
Thanks for the comment and producing a good quality video! However, I had a different purchasing experience than you. I’m totally unsatisfied along the journey since I convinced with all the reviews from your channel and decided to purchase frameset from local dealer. First, it was taking them 2months to arrive but I heard from them usually it takes only 2-3 weeks. I can feel that the dealer literally want to push for one size XS for stock clearance. I already told him many times I owned a Caad12 in size 48 (geo similar to size 47 for SLC 2.0) and size work for me too. The first shipment is scheduled at mid Feb but he claimed the manufacturer didn’t ship the size S and keep pushing me for size XS again. I insist. Finally, the frames has arrived last Friday, I go and pick it up. I immediately sent the frames to my mechanic for bike setup. They have identified several serious quality issues, which could lead to unsafe. So, they are refrain from setting up for me. First, there is no gap between fork and frames even we have inserted the bearing as provided. Each is touching with each other. Also the bearing has 45 degree angle which the fork is in L shape. It is not evenly taking the load and impact which may causing the crack. Next, the hole for place the bearing is much larger than the edge of the bearing. It is not fitted and it may causing the bearing moving around and damaging the frame. The same issue we found on the upper headset, the surface to hold the is not flat. There is a certificate tag signed and chop by the Winspace Ltd. How can such problems persisted and what are they QA dept doing??? I and really concern with other buyers. Please be cautious before you decide to buy anything from the company. Please refer to the link for the video and picture which would give you more solid convince about my statement. drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Qf9crxip0IfbN-5_bmW10LIZXjwbbfIp?usp=sharing . Could you be my voice to Winspace?
More content Joe! Defo interested in the crank but reading up on weight weenies the gent who is developing it is saying still under development however I maybe wrong. Anyway keep up the good work Joe!
Yeah, the last I checked this is technically the 3rd generation I think, and they're still working out some bugs with production? My axle for example was a prototype that they said may develop a sound/creak, but mine has been good so far! Will go more in detail during the dedicated video.
@@ChinaCycling Well it was released for sale for a short period in China only then stopped due to issues with the pedal thread fixing in the arms. Production I believe is due to the low number that are produced as the factory he is partnered with is concentrating on work for other customers that obviously make them more money. Well lots of us westerners waiting to spend some 💰 on this when it is released but sometimes these thing take time to get right especially since it is competing with THM and is well looking to be 50% cheaper! Love the 90’s paint on the SLC
I like Winspace bikes. At the moment I have a 2015 Giant Propel Advanced 1. I like the handling but I don't like the V brakes and aero seat post. I want to buy a Cruzbike V20 Vendetta front wheel drive recumbent which could be the fastest non faired bicycle. But if I got another diamond frame bike the Winspace SLC01 would be the top choice.
I just think its great to be able to still buy a "traditional" double-diamond frame with rim brakes when everyone else is producing disc brake frames only.
The cassette should be on AliExpress, "SROAD Cassette" should find it. The bars I don't publicly recommend. I've been to their factory and there was no quality control of incoming goods / materials. Things like this I think maybe you have a very small chance of it going wrong - so I feel fine using it myself. But recommending it to 40,000 people, that's a totally different ball game. Also, because there's no branding on the bar, it means you don't know if you're getting the same as me, or something that just looks the same. The crank - I don't think it's released yet. They had some problems with earlier production and are working on it the last I heard.
Great video. It would be great to share where you source these parts. I also wonder if it’s possible to purchase a complete built bike from winspace and ship overseas. It’s probably still would be cheaper than buying parts from LBS after duty + tax.
For those who thinks the cankset is great, please read this. I owned a 2nd gen skypivot crank and the metal piece which the pedals are mounted to broke free of the crank body on one of my training ride, there have been dozens of similar cases reported, it is a total death trap. The company-incolor, despite knowing the problem, they did nothing to warn users of the later versions, and their customer service is so lame even in China. Hard to imagine after-sell in overseas market....
I love the paint job. So cool! A shame it's only a limited edition. I'm also looking for a good crankset for a bike build. The Incolor Skypivot caught my eye. Where can you buy those?
I wish winspace could source some of the cool parts you used like the bottle cages and post and add them to the website. I'm ready to try winspace..do I go with a 550 if I ride 54 and 56 cm bikes?
Hmmm Inhave been looking for the skypivot crankset when will they release this bad boy!? It been in development for sometime and have read up regarding some of the problems they have had while developing it
I can 100% relate to your sentiment. As I said in the video, this is not a review, and I won't review Winspace products due to the obvious bias. I'm passionate about bikes, and this channel is about sharing that passion. Of course I'm passionate about Winspace because that's what I work on now. I'm not sure what you do for a living, but I assume you're proud of your work and you would recommend it to your friends and family? Anyway, I do genuinely love all feedback, positive or negative - so thanks Christopher.

I’ve got one. It replaced my Alez sprint. Geometry is slightly more slack which is nice. I put r7000 on mine. It light enough for me and it is as light at the 7 and 8 grand bikes I’m seeing.
How do you like it compared to your Allez Sprint? Better more fun, etc. I am also thinking on using r7000 mechanical rim brake group set and some average carbon wheels. What is the total weight of your bike?
@@ChinaCycling how do u think about the stiffness between these frame? I read some comments said SLC2.0 have some issue(tires contact with fork under high power)
@China Cycling I just got my super light black SLC 2.0 in frame size 470 and it came in at 812g ☹️ Website says 780g minus 50 for the medium. Mine is a small which should've come in way lighter. Also the fork came in at 399g. Disappointed
The weight is unpainted and +/- 50g. Even the super light has some primer, clear coat, decals on it. And whenever sth says +/- x grams you can basically just go to the + side. They usually dont get these numbers in a statistical correct way :). So assuming ~60g paint: 780 + 50 + 60 = 890. so yours is for sure with in tollerance.
Nice to see a new vid, you've been missed. Just in case you see this Joe. Do you still use you're little osmo camera, would you recommend them? I was thinking about buying one and you were the first person I saw with one.
Ah~ I'm biased...haha. I think the Vanyar is a little lighter (depends on paint job) but I think the SLC handles better (especially on descents) not sure if due to stiffness, geometry, or both.
Air freight costs these days are crazy. X_X As Winspace get bigger economies of scale give them more shipping options though, which is why at the moment frames still have free shipping.
Hey Joe! I'm looking to build my own SLC 2.0 in super light black. I wanted to know what the lightest headset I can pair it up with ? I don't have the frameset in hand so I can't really shop around. I'm looking to get ahead and ask you directly
I have to say winspace manufacturing quality is excellent. My review is coming soon!
how much money did u receive yo
@@matt.rraw. I paid for it.
A bazillion dollars. (Monopoly money.)

How it feels on the flat if using 40-50mm wheels? Im looking for all round frame but Winspace advise T1300 frame is already discontinued
Hi compare to ELVES Vanyar Carbon frame ? What do you think ?
Where can we buy the Chinese bike parts you listed? Like the saddle and seat post?
Is that a 50/34 crankset? Beautiful build...Thanks for the video. 💯
Yes it is! Spin to win!
38mm por 50mm rim brake ???
Suprised this doesn't get more exposure in the British hill climb scene.
@China Cycling I just got my super light black SLC 2.0 in frame size 470 and it came in at 812g ☹️
Website says 780g minus 50 for the medium. Mine is a small which should've come in way lighter. Also the fork came in at 399g. Disappointed
The weight is unpainted and +/- 50g. Even the super light has some primer, clear coat, decals on it. And whenever sth says +/- x grams you can basically just go to the + side. They usually dont get these numbers in a statistical correct way :). So assuming ~60g paint: 780 + 50 + 60 = 890. so yours is for sure with in tollerance.
But yeah. Fork is quite heavy for how small it is...
Hi mate.. nice vid! Where can I find that SkyPivot crankset site? Been searching for it.. thanks
Nice to see a new vid, you've been missed.
Just in case you see this Joe.
Do you still use you're little osmo camera, would you recommend them? I was thinking about buying one and you were the first person I saw with one.
SLC or TCR advanced SL?
sz of the frame and ur height? Thank you! ☺
Does the SLC2.0 frameset allow for DI2 electronic groupset?
Yes. I am using that.
I need to know where you can buy a pair of CC eeBrakes for $300
When is Shanghai bike show 2022?
How does it compare to the elves vanyar
Ah~ I'm biased...haha. I think the Vanyar is a little lighter (depends on paint job) but I think the SLC handles better (especially on descents) not sure if due to stiffness, geometry, or both.
They just a company selling painting job！not much technic
Impressive bike, I think that the main issue today is the transport cost, this will affect us as final buyers. 😢 but what a bike.
Air freight costs these days are crazy. X_X As Winspace get bigger economies of scale give them more shipping options though, which is why at the moment frames still have free shipping.
Is there any more colours coming 2022?
Just as soon as I can find my neon colouring crayons.
hey, do you have some link where to buy crank Skypivot? I am searching I can not find anything. :( It looks very good.
Do one that can take rim breaks and a 35mm tire and it would be a world beater.
Hey Joe! I'm looking to build my own SLC 2.0 in super light black. I wanted to know what the lightest headset I can pair it up with ? I don't have the frameset in hand so I can't really shop around. I'm looking to get ahead and ask you directly
