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

[Davidhe23]

Maybe my posting site isn't here, as my X68 has been replaced by a Yohobike.

After two days of putting the bike together, I was able to pass all the material to the new frame.

At the moment I can provide a couple of information about both since I have not yet driven my yoho.

The seatpost is fully compatible, can be exchanged between both copies, the address headset has the same flaw as the x68, and a final information that may be interesting to some.

After weighing the uncut Fork, its weight was 400 grams with paint, with the same components, the bike weighs about 150 grams more than my old X68.

You moved from size 54 to 56 and from an unpainted frame to a finished one.
Could this justify the weight difference ?
Still doubtfull on the fork: mine one, naked carbon finish, was 321gr uncut..
Maybe they are now producing a reinforced one

My raw frame should arrive in a few days. I will insert all the weights

Almost ready to order, was just mocking up a paint design.

I did hear back from my bike fitter - he recommended to keep the 54, so as to not reduce the stack too much.

Paraphrasing:

"If you want to go more aggressive, you're better off keeping the height in the front to keep the hip angle open at the top of the stroke for stability through the pelvis. Canyon's come stock with short stems, so it makes it feel like it's upright, so you can opt for a longer stem".

Might stick with the 54 then and opt for the 110mm stem length.

Same frames, different paintjob
