Very insightful review and what a great build! Congratulations!
Thanks for sharing your experience, helpful for finalizing my choice.



32
Is it possible to give a general ride summary / review here?
I saw complains online of seat post slipping?
Does the handlebars, Fork or Frame flex like some say the RDC version flexes?
What is the final weight and which frame version?

Also how much was the preorder amount paid since the website only states the "Payment Balance"?

Given all the online hype: Falath Evo or Standard SEKA Exceed which you'd go for after your SEKA experience?

Any SEKA build updates guys :)

I see the point you guys are making. However, just like the guys in the SAVA video are abusing that frame for fun / marketing, on a serious note, If we pay a lot for a high end frame it better not snap into half that easily in real world circumstance. Other riders were also involved in that crash but I didn't notice any other snapped top&down tubes. Was that particular scott frame poorly manufactured or a standard issue even if its for their pro riders? Deadly excuse.   
In this case a snapped top and down tube (think sharp spear into the stomach) is more deadly in a bunch crash than getting sliced by a disc rotor.
Big brands should do better. Chase safety ALWAYS over lighter and "faster".

When are we gonna question the logic that it is ok to let big brands sell such fragile frames for performance & $ sake. And then we also find excuses for them when their frames fail badly?

For some reason bike marketers generally use the UCI badge as a form of signaling the level of quality of a frame. That's what I am trying to say.

No matter the branding or stickers involved in a super high end bike, I as a customer would be fully satisfied if the frame can withstand this kind of abuse in this SAVA bike frame abuse video :D :D
I'm pretty sure that scott frame would not survive such abuse.
Basically with that scott, one crit race crash and your super expensive frame is gone forever.

Lately I've been looking into getting a UCI frameset for a change, at the best price to quality ratio compared to open mold frames.

Seeing a world tour bike snap into two like this scott bike in the video makes me wonder if the high price to get a frame with a UCI sticker is even worth it?

Just wondering if anyone here is safely running 50mm spacers above their headset dust cap for a carbon steerer tube on any bike?

Asking because I would need 50mm spacers on the Falath EVO, to fit the frame to my liking.
Aesthetically, only 20mm out of the 50mm of spacers would pop above the top tube level of that frame.
(Side note: The dust cap is about 10mm already, so altogether, 60mm stacked above the "C-ring")

Basically just want to know what is the max spacers (above 40mm) anyone here is safely using and for how long now?

Thanks!

If they would sell the frame only, should be around the same price spectrum as the Winspace 1500 & Falath EVO.

I've been searching and still can't find any video of someone actually riding this frame from different camera angles so we can see the actual form of a cyclist riding this frame. The promotions from Elves so far sadly only focus on the frame's appearance. Would be nice if they made some sick shots of someone going full gas + sprinting on this thing.

Looking at GC Performance's latest build, I'm kinda still drawn to this frame.

This looks great!
Tadej Pogacar's former team rides this brand.
I don't mind this over the Falath EVO.
Taiwan brand if I'm not mistaken.
Looks like they only sell this as a complete bike.


42
That would be awesome. An enduro, a full suspension XC, a hardtail, a gravel, a climber, an aero or a TT ?
But then could we all agree on the specs ?  ;D

One CT frame for each discipline then lol. Have to start with a road frame though :D

The main need for most people here are geometry/sizing, tire clearance, price and just ok after sale support. Other DIY issues would be covered by default, as users post on the forum.

For geometry, if those interested would post their needed geometry/size in the forum, it is easy to use the data to create a very close custom geometry / size chart based on the collected data.

Jourdain Coleman just did an Unbox, Review & In-Depth Analysis on his youtube channel.

Still looking forward to a community inspired bike frame, i.e. "ChinerTown" (...to agree on a suitable name) official frame with UCI certification, on which all our needs are met  8)

Looks like they have more sizes now! Additionally tantan seems to be selling it as the x38:
http://tantancycling.com/index.php?_m=mod_product&_a=view&p_id=1089

I do really like it, but it feels too close to a clone and would make me feel bad

It's going to do well if sold on VB website. The "looks" of the frame kinda pays homage to both the 2023 Scott foil rc and the Cervelo S5. Not sure of the geometry.
