Anyone know anything about OAK frames?

Anyone know anything about this brand? I'm pretty sure its a rebranded Chinese/East Asia OEM type deal. My friend's road racing team, gets a discount on them and she was interested in getting one. It's probably an okay frame but they seem to put more focus on how it looks than how it functions which is a small red flag to me. Her teammates like theirs though.

Could've tried to use the search function first. Anyway, it's just a Tavelo Arow with a different sticker

ah my bad. That's what I thought initially but I got thrown off by OAK mislabeling their frame's geometry. I thought it was slightly different but it's just their geometry chart being off.

SpeederCycling is the DTC of the OEM

Here’s the frame: https://www.speedercycling.com/Carbon-Integrated-Road-Disc-Frameset-SC-R55D-_p429.html

I think I was quoted about $670 or so for the frame + $150 for the bars
Ended up going a different direction but it looks like a solid bike

That markup is wild.

Are you sure it's the same? Their geometry is different :/

This topic has already been covered in at least in two other separate threads in the past.

The Oak Twilight is a rebranded Tavelo Arow frameset. Tavelo originally wanted exclusive rights to the design on the Arow, but realized they needed to offset some of the initial startup expenses.

I've ridden my Tavelo Arow for 1000km so far. I can confidently say it's the best Chinese branded bike I've ever ridden in terms of handling, balance, and overall riding dynamics. It's a pure race bike that will eventually replace my beloved Giant Propel.
