Delihea Tank

[ultreia]

Hello I found this frame at Aliexpress. I am following this brand Delihea and this frame looks awesome.  Full internal, new look and disc brakes.

This is the link at aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002940264270.html

This is the frame:




Do you have any opinion about this brand / frame?

The seller has a GreatKeen Bike email.

I have no personal experience but from reading through the forums I've heard good things about the Delihea brand (not specifically the Tank model).

Looking at the geo, it's almost identical to the VeloBuild VB-R-168, which in turn is almost identical to the Specialized Tarmac SL7.

Visually it looks like they've trimmed the frame down and have gone for lower weight vs more of an aero tube set but have kept the same geo.

If the weights listed on the AliExpress page are correct then the frame weight of the Tank is very close to the Tarmac SL7, with a difference of around 50g only which I very much doubt most people would notice. It would also make the frame around 150g lighter than the VeloBuild VB-R-168.

You can compare the geo of the three frames above here: https://geometrygeeks.bike/compare/velobuild-vb-r-168-2021-52,delihea-tank-machine-2021-52,specialized-tarmac-sl7-2021-52/

Finally I declined to buy this frame. No good information about the frame and factory. Asking people who knows better about the carbon fiber and prices in china, they told me that T800 is three times the price of T700 in china, so they suspect that this frame doesn´t have T800 carbon.

Just a guess on all of this... and I just writing to give you some advice... too hard to get information.
