I mean, Giant went from a kind of no name OEM to a top road bike brand by doing 2 things. 1 getting bikes in the Tour, and 2 getting into brick and mortar stores for better sales and service support. That's pretty much all these brands have to do to justify what they are charging.

Actually I must apologise, I misunderstood what tavelo is and can understand their prices now. They're not a bike company, they're a marketing company selling bikes, it's like specialized on steroids. They charge this much because they can. At the end of the day it doesn't matter what the value proposition product is if it sells.
Their exorbitant markup for non-chinese market is because every frame they sell here potentially loses them eyes in their main market and because they don't really need us the sales quantity losses are balanced out by the suckers that will pay this much.
Absolutely not erg mode, just a set, constant resistance
I don't know about resale value... I expect the resale value of my 500EUR china frames to be 0 in every color...
I use it. GX axs with senicx gr2. No problem whatsoever.
I changed recently the chainring to a pass quest just because of the looks, but the senicx was fine with a SRAM chain
If you haven't bought your crankset yet I could sell you mine. I picked up a force carbon crankset with power meter for cheap so I planned to switch it out. My Senicx is 175mm arms and 42t chainring.
Well i've been so excited on the last weeks of riding that i forgot to post some pictures of my completed project......
Weird website. No address or any actual hint as to what name the company is registered under, right? Also, I’m pretty sure those pics from a B2B show floor in Germany are the same as on the Yishun website. Either they are in some way connected to them or they just straight up snatched them from their site. Also, the pricing seems just a little bit too good to be true? Like I said, I can still find this store on Aliexpress. An Ostro copy sells for barely more than 500EUR painted which is crazy cheap. Too good to be true?
