For whatever it's worth...

Speeder is not a factory. It is also not a brand with a factory shareholder/ownership stake. They are an agent, at the mercy of whatever their factory(s) send them.

The frames could be overstock, larger brand QC rejects, factory allotment, or a mixture of all three.

However, when you're just an agent rather than a factory stakeholder...you accept liability for the frames without any recourse to the factory. For example a brand like Specialized or Trek can bully a factory or even take their business elsewhere if the produced frames don't meet the brand's QC. They can simply reject the frames and stop paying the factory.

An agent like Speeder doesn't have that level of power and control. They most likely would have to eat the costs.

False.  Speeder are the factory basically in all but name.  It's Focus Carbon Tecnologies' brand - FCT is the actual factory.  I don't think their to-consumer-and-small-brand side is big enough for them to be run separately by different teams as FBA and Carbonda are.

Re: Speeder SC-R52D Manage to contact Alynn from Adapt bike. She informs that this model is not available to buy directly from them. Apparently, it's the same as Nich Legend 4.

Re: Speeder SC-R52D The Nich and R52D are not the same frames there's a difference on the top tube near the headtube and also at the junction of the top tube / seatpost.
