Anyone recognize this frame?
« on: April 15, 2025, 11:59:48 AM »
So i stubmled across this frame on Flea market (This platform is primarely used for selling used items, but also some taobao seller has more products in there, and it's a real gem sometimes). 

I think it's one of the best looking frame with right design decisions, but i coudn't find any manufacturer info, though i asked the seller, and will add if he send me additional info. something.

The weight of the frame is around 1100g and here all info i could find from the description:

Yes, very similar, i actually own x-38 and i honestly hate design of the front part, fork doesn't have uniform width, and headtube top part looks ugly. So i was looking to swap the frame with this one, do you think it's good idea?

I don’t see any reason you cannot swap the fork but if the fork was not designed around the frame I would not even try myself unless you’re prepared to lose money if it does not work.
To be honest if I was to buy a frame like this it would be a genuine Scott Foil RC or the Cervelo S5 the open mold attempts just look crap in my opinion they just look odd.
