Title: 105 DI2 bike for 1550$
Post by: abdbeg on June 10, 2023, 01:31:00 AM

Hey there

Just found this bike: LINK (https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=717492172439) on Taobao, seems to be a very good deal, i coudn't find their frame, so it's probably not an open mold.

I know I'm not technically capable of building an entire bike from the frame up, so I've been looking for the cheapest complete di2/etap bike that has the geometry for crit racing.  Does this Cycletrack Sky model fit my criteria? To my uneducated eye it looks like an SL7 replica? I've visit3d Cycletracks website but everything seems to be sold out so I'm wondering if Taobao is the only place that is selling them?

Yes, it seems taobao is the only place you can buy them, but that's alright since you can use visa card and deliver it with forwarder. Regarding frame geometry and look, it doesn't look like SL7, the closes I found is Canyon Aeroad, look at the thick fork and curves.
I think this bike is just top notch by looking to the price, I bought every component by myself and it was around 1800$ with 105 11 speed mechanical and aluminum Dtswiss e1800 used wheels, so it's a steal if you ask me.

Thanks for the clarification on the frame style, it does look much closer to an aeroad. Hopefully there's someone here who has experience with this frame/company. I'm a bigger guy at 90kg with a decent sprint in the flat crits I do so need a frame stiff enough to deal with that

Unfortunately I'm not a Chinese speaker and I can't even register with taobao without going through an untranslatable registration process so it doesn't look good for me being able to access this build lol
