Seen it last week and it looks like the cervelo/focus one, but it's not even cheaper. Got one at the LBS for 25CHF, seen it even cheaper on bike24

What are the 150/102/135mm sizes?

For people who want to spin at 400 RPMs!  ;D

Yeah, I think the seller should clarify that part.

The 4 piston calipers are their mtb brakes, these are new road/gravel ones

Anyone see this new carbon crankset? It has 165mm, 170mm and 172.5mm crank arm lengths. The Riro and Racework cranksets are only 170mm.

The cranks are their own and they do make an mtb cassete. They also sell some stuff to decathlon

Info for anyone else who may be purchasing. Spacer bolts are M5, I bought sets in 20mm increments from 40-100mm from Bolt Depot for <$10 to play with pad height. I believe the spacers are compatible with the PD A3A riser kit, but have yet to order and check -- still getting other aspects of the fit dialed.


Some niggles:

- the hardware holding the arm rests / clamping the extensions is incredibly soft. I recommend replacing it right away.
- had to sand down the seatpost to allow for movement within the seattube
- bottle cage mounts are too far down the downtube to mount a standard bottle cage. Even with a sideloader the rear wheel cut out is too large to allow the bottle to sit flush. Might be fixed on larger sizes, but if even a 54 is too small I doubt it. Using a Wolftooth B-Rad to move it farther up the downtube for now, and planning to try the Cervelo aero bottle, which looks like it may clear.
- Stem clamps from only one side and has a weak hold on the steerer. Needs to be torqued to 6-7Nm or it still wants to turn. Going to try adding some carbon paste and see if that helps.

Not familiar with the name Delihea.

I note the shop listed on AliX on Oct23 only. Their business licence says ... ELECTRONIC commerce, established Mar21. So...
There are a few YT videos of people reviewing Delihea bikes, from much before 2023. From people buying on AliX.
Can't find a website for Delihea.

the ck-two that takes 32C looks VERY interesting. But that frame ticks all the boxes for 2024, i'd say.

I dont think i've seen this frame before. The other one with 28C looks much less future proof and relevant in 2024.

Yeah now that I look at it, the CK-One might be an older model. The Delihea brand has been around for awhile. I think they have small presence in Asia. They used to sell from their website, but I believe they have shifted mainly to AliExpress for selling their framesets. Most of the frames appear to be just rebadged TFSA frames, but I can't seem to locate who makes the CK-Two.

Threaded BB68 or T47 both appeal to me in terms of maintenance and 32c tire clearance makes a huge difference in flexibility from light gravel to dedicated road bike. The only other frame that ticks the same boxes for me is the ICAN FL1 which comes in at sub-800g, 32c tire clearance and T47 threaded bottom bracket. I'd be curious to see how much cheaper the CK-Two would be during an AliEx coupon discount sale. I only wish it was a sub 900g frame.

Can you post frame geometry and more details?  Is the chainline 52mm or 55mm?  The website doesnt work very well on my phone I cant see the details but it says UDH rear derailleur hanger?
