Some updates. The included lower headset bearing lasted less than 3500km. Bike have now 5500km in total. Will switch to 30mm Continental GP5000 S TR from 25mm and see how it handles.
F frame instead of F12 frame would be fun to try.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / TT clip on for Dogma

Any suggestion on how I can get a TT bar on my Dogma F12 with the special Talon Ultra handlebar?

Sadly, that link has gone already!
They work now.

The bike looks great.
I've been looking at replica Zipp 454s for a while. Sun Bike store seems to have gone, and all the ones I've found have said that the external wheel width is 25mm. but Zipp's website says it should be 28mm. Could I ask what the width of yours are? Did you note the internal width.
Thanks for sharing this build.

Sun bike store have a new name. Here comes everything you need.
454 wasn't on the webpage so I asked her for them.
ZEEUQI BIKE Store

I didn't measure the internal width. They are around 26mm on top and 28mm a bit down. I think the spec said 21mm inside. Or was it 23mm? Don't remember.
This is with 25mm GP5000 STR.

entry bikes going for 4/5K, considering stocks are up I think prices will get slashed soon.
I built my F12 replica with 454 nsw replica wheels, hydraulic disc ultegra di2 and assioma duo pedals for around 4200 USD.
An original bike would be like 4K with mechanic 105 and alloy wheels instead for the same price.
My CX was built for 1500 USD, same bike is like 4K today. It was very easy to justify the replica in my case for sure.

If not illegal, it's tacky.
I think the regular bike prices have been tacky. You will soon have to be a millionare to buy a road bike.

Definitely don't buy a replica like that. It's illegal.
It depends on what country you live in.

Going by the impeccable quality of my DogmaF from ali,

Do you have a build thread to share?

Jarkacz, which seller from Ali? Rocking cycling store/Taiwanese bike store? They are related to Yohobike.com and I have been looking at them for a while now. For some reasons, they seem reliable. However, I can't really find proper reviews. Also I am sure they sell a lot of them. They seem to be the most reliable replicas I could find.

Anyone has found detailed reviews from that seller?

This comes from "Taiwan Carbon Factory Store"

Yohobike had the name Kiss Kiss at that point i bought mine. They seem to be just as good. Same thing with "High quality carbon frame store"

Some weight
454 front - 721 gram
454 rear - 865 gram

Ready roval rear - 1554 gram
Ready 454 rear - 1491 gram

4000km has passed. I bought new wheels from Sun Bike Store again with centerlock disc and Novatec 411/412 hubs.

11-30 was changed to 11-28 instead, i miss 16T though so I might move to 11-25 one day.
I can lower tyre pressure with those compared with Roval so I run 4,0/4,2kg front and rear now on rough tarmac. Around 5kg on smoth tarmac.
Lower headset bearing has been replaced after I broke it when I tried to remove it from the frame.
It´s a good bike and the aero comes in place after 30km/h. It does feel soft around 50km/h when gusty sidewinds hit me, i guess this frame isn´t that stiff in torsional load. But very good when climbing and sitting. Total weight is 8kg as it is on the picture with GP5000 STR 25mm and 40ml fluid in each tyre.

1764km on it so far. I noticed that I forgot to put loctite on the rear hanger, it started to shift weird so that was found at 1000km service.
Some air was trapped inside the front brake hose so I had to bleed it after i let the bicyle lie on the ground.
I think both headset bearing sits a bit too loose so I added one lap of thin 0,1mm tape on them. Now I only need 2nm to set the headset.
GP5000 TL 28mm was replaced with GP 5000 STR 25mm. They feel much better since they are lighter but I did lost comfort on bad tarmac. Usually runs 80/82psi front/rear but I can go down to 72/76 if I want. After that I think it feels loose in the corners.
Added Assioma duo on it since the build too, very nice to measure power.
Ordered Garmin Varia RTL 515 radar too it.
I do have some weird sound on the lowest gears if I put out more than 250w. Carbon like. Some friends says that carbon is never quiet so it might be okay.
Still using 52/36 with 11-30 so the lowest cogs isn´t much used.
It is worth to mention that it is a bit harsh on bumpy roads.
Aero frame comes to use above 30km/h I would say, it´s really going on rails then.
