Re: TanTan/Seraph TT-X69 - The Real SuperSix EVO Clone? Alternative to LC017-D?
Quote from: patliean1 on December 06, 2024, 09:58:20 AM
Of all the road frames I've ever built and reviewed only two have came under 1000g for a size 56:

Tarmac SL8 Pro - 827g
Winspace SLC3 - 829g

I'd call myself a moderate weight weenie. But writing off a $600 frame because it doesn't weigh sub-1000g is concerning. Especially for an aero/all-around frameset. Irrespective of that delta steer tube.

I actually prefer my cheap frames to be around 1000-1100g anyway. It's a built-in insurance policy from the brands just in case I sprint or crash, the frame doesn't catastrophically explode underneath me.

Light, stiff, cheap. Pick two...but you can't have all three.

Time for a "go fund me" on the TT-X68 for review.

Re: Seraph Bikes Superlight 836g X68 - Alternative to SL8 Fakes? Legitimate question - What purpose would leaning into such investigative questions serve as a consumer looking to purchase clearly a fake/copy/unauthorized frameset?

One could argue it's about safety, production quality, or even integrity. I'd argue to probably look elsewhere for frame if any of those metrics are critical. I'm not saying consumers should throw all caution to the wind when buying fakes/copies. But there's an unspoken understanding that even TanTan expects the customer to abide by.

I don't go asking escorts about their history and business practices if all I want is a good time. And also the ease of just leaving the money on the night stand. I kid I kid  ;D

Re: Seraph Bikes Superlight 836g X68 - Alternative to SL8 Fakes? When I get my frame from Tantan (hopefully at the end of February), I'll post some pictures taken inside the frame with an endoscope camera.

Re: Seraph Bikes Superlight 836g X68 - Alternative to SL8 Fakes? Seems like quite a few people have received their frames by now. Is there no one who has taken it out for a first spin to give us their impression ride quality-wise?

Im pretty keen to order one for myself – currently on the fence between a Tavelo Arow and this one. But i won't be able to decide between the two without having heard any kind of review other than for build quality.

You lovely people, dress up and take it for a spin! Pwease!  :D

Re: Seraph Bikes Superlight 836g X68 - Alternative to SL8 Fakes? Here you have photos of the assembly of the Tantan SL8. I will send more photos soon.

Re: Seraph Bikes Superlight 836g X68 - Alternative to SL8 Fakes? Hi all, wanted to share I placed an order through Tan-Tan for a size 56 frame in the raw glossy finish. Excited to see how this will look, and I will share my build as it progresses. Building it up with the new SRAM red groupset so hoping for a sub 7kg build. Cheers!

How lo
Do you know, when the expected shipping date of your new frame is? Or how long Seraph need, to paint your frame in raw glossy?
Can‘t wait to see the result, through I had the same idea ;-)
Hey, they quoted me 30-45 days for delivery. I’ll see if they can send me photos before shipping.

Re: Seraph Bikes Superlight 836g X68 - Alternative to SL8 Fakes? First decent workout with the fake SL8 from Taiwaneisen.
My weight is 65kg and FTP at 220watt. Wheels Yoeleo 50mm, tubeless 28mm, 4bar.
- the riding is “smooth”: after 35km/h you can easily observe the bike “sailing”, it keeps the speed with minimum power.
This is even more visible when you ride into a group of cyclists at 35km/h or more or when you follow the draft of a car passing you
- the frame is quite stiff expecially in the seatpost area: you can clearly feel in the back while the fork and the front part of the frame is quite comfortable
- I was worried about the stiffness of the fork as it weights even less than the original. I tested in a 3km discend and it is good

So far so good
