Frames from Taiwan BIKE Store (Aliexpress)

[axelruiz22]

Hi all,

This is my first post in the forum so thx for accepting me and hope I am not posting in the wrong place...   

I am looking for an aero frame similar to the cannondale systemsix because I want to build an hybrid bike so I can use it as a road bike and Ironman bike (installing aerobars).

The thing is my budget is limited (around 400-500€ for the frame) and I haven't find anything that fits my needs and budget from Hongfu/Dengfu/ICAN. Yesterday I found a seller on Aliexpress that sells a frame pretty similar (if not the same) than the systemsix:

https://it.aliexpress.com/item/10000009221176.html?gps-id=8041884&scm=1007.14677.110221.0&scm_id=1007.14677.110221.0&scm-url=1007.14677.110221.0&pvid=2ffba1a7-3350-493a-8449-85f07f53d84b&spm=a2g0o.store_home.promoteRecommendProducts_1000006231200.15

There is no post related to this seller in the forum...any review? Opinions?

Apart from that, any seller recommendations for the frame and budget I want? Maybe I didn't search properly...

Many thanks in advance

Not sure if that's similar to the Cannondale design or not. Their other stuff is clearly influenced by Specialized and Pinarello.

All looks decent, and some snazzy paintjobs.

'Taiwan Bike Store' makes me a bit dubious though. I'd imagine these would be significantly more pricey if they were actually Taiwanese - if they existed at all .... clone (or close to) stuff is frowned on there.

Seems a bit misleading.

Anybody know who the OEM is or who these are a rebrand of?

A brand by the name of "Costelo" sells this frame too. I'm not sure if Costelo are an actual factory or just a reseller but it's a good place to start looking.
