Seraph Bikes Superlight 836g X68 - Alternative to SL8 Fakes?

[BeR]

I would reach out to Tantan to see if they'll send you a frame....

It is best to order the frame as an anonymous in order to don't have a "special" QC because of the notoriety.

What it be douchey of me to start a GoFundMe to raise funds? Everyone donates $15 haha

My monthly YouTube revenue and OnlyFan accounts aren't as lucrative as it seems...

With 3500 curious hits on this thread I don't think it's actually a bad shout, I'd be in for fifteen:-)
You could raffle the frame off after full testing and donate to charity.... Everyone wins!

You should try, I would donate for sure

Maybe that would be even a new business model, if people want to see a review for a potential purchase, they might consider this an insurance

I really like this idea. Test for a couple of months, and then have the Chinertown moderators randomly select a member to receive the frame afterwards. It's a Festivus miracle!

Just need the feats of strength to make it feel complete

For the terminal use of the frame, I'd vote for a dystopian thing where some child molester has to ride the bike down a very long, very steep road, straight into a solid brick wall. I want slow mo cameras at the point of impact, I want a terminal velocity over 70kmh, I want blood, guts, pink mist really, blowing up. Obviously, the bike has no brakes. I'm not sure how practical it would be to prevent the guy from trying to save himself, so probably there are guard rails with various lovely knick knacks, like razor blades, rusty barb wire, maybe some embankments with broken glass.
And then the victims and their families get to piss on the carcass.
Then you discard the bike and chuck the remains in the compost bin.
That would sell so well as pay per view content. And bits of the impact would make great tiktok videos.

The show would need a nice title, maybe something demure like "piss on the carcass"?

I should work in media.

Tantan claims that it is full T1000 (not any T700 or T800). What do you think ? (Brittle, fragile,...)

The challenge is maybe the size of the frame? I think you ride a 56 right?

[Pistonbroke]

I can fit a 56, so still in for fifteen lol

email them leading the question with what's the approximate mix of fibers between T700, T800 and T1000?
If you tell them that, it's going to be harder for them to claim it's full T1000.
If you simply ask "is it full T1000?" they might not feel they're lying by saying yes.
China is culturally very different, and the language as well. What's B&W for us can be a satisfying shade of grey for them.

I asked for the mix but they said full T1000.

A little bird tells me that's impossible, but maybe that little bird is a russian troll peddling conspiratorial non sense on truth social, and really is full of $hit.

If people who know things could chip in, i'd love to know if it's in fact possible to make a 100% T1000 frame. I would bet it isn't, but I'm wrong a lot.
