Geometry etc looks like exact like Wilier Jena, except with T47BB rather than pressfit.
In talks with them to try to order one to update / replace the GR029 I'm on.

I guess it's the version you are asking for.. it's black.

€ 105,07  26%OFF | SRoad SLR2 Cassette Ultralight 11 Speed 11-25/28/32/34T CNC Bike Freewheel K7 11V Sprocket For R9100 Bicycle RAINBOW Cassette
https://a.aliexpress.com/_EGPODxz

I use complete mechanic Shimano Ultegra 2x11 setup with 8020 STI, front derailleur and GS rear derailleur with 11-32 cassette. Shifting is as I said very smooth and fast. It was a bit tight to mount on my novatec freehub but I already removed it once for free hub exchange (so no issue with the fitting, just my freehub died).

And also di2 Ultegra  (but this cassette only travelled 300km so far) with 11-34 cassette. Here it is quite interesting to note, that the 11-34 sroad does not use a spacer as the Shimano 11-34 does. So it will only fit to 11s road freehubs.
I have to admit I was critical about a cassette from China. But since 11-34 is not available  almost since 2 years now... I think it's a very nice alternative. Also the colors are hot.... golden and rainbow look both very nice

Thanks for the info.  I had tried a prior version like the one tracevelo had tried.  Similar results.  It was absolute crap.
These newer ones look much better but I've only seen very few people comment on actual use.

If you tell me how ro recognize the version.. I could check which version I have. Riding since 1400km now, shifting is very fine, everything else looks as new. But I would expect that, frankly.. 1400km is not to much.

There is just one thing I didn't think about... golden cassette means cleaning every ride  ;D

the ones that look like these, with the black metal backing plate.

also, which groupset are you using with it?

 Any real reviews on these? The latest versions. Not the version reviewed by tracevelo a little while back.  Interested as possible replacements for both the gravel and road bikes.  See plenty of reviews commenting on the weight / looks, not really any on actual function.
Thanks

Quite possibly, but hopefully not.

Ha, yes.  I saw that like less than 24 hrs after I posted Hambini had a look.  Good to see things confirmed.  Will be interesting to see part two of his review.
--I did reach out directly to both Delihea and Trifox.  Delihea responded first, so that is what I have ordered... Although Trifox does seem to be more established (better website, etc etc.  Will keep updated.  They did want to dick me around a bit when I asked for a matte black frame, BSA, rim brake, NO LOGOs.  I did tell them I plan to review the bike, show unboxing, build quality, customer service, etc.  They wanted me to have logos on the frame and offered me one free...  I declined this.  Paying my own cash, no logos, will be reviewing.  Take it or leave it.  They have gone ahead with the order.

Have built up a couple bikes
Tantan /Seraph FM 686 and Farsports 50mm tubeless wheels, Ultegra Di2.   Over 20,000km on that bike with zero issues.  Until crashed badly after hitting some negligent assholes dog running into the road.
Also have a Tantan / Seraph GR 029 again with farsports wheels for a gravel bike.  Also great.

Anyhow, wondering if anyone has any info on the Trifox x16 frame / delihea climb frame.  Don't seem to see much info on these, but they seem like what I'm looking for.  Bit more tire clearance than my previous FM686 but still rim brake so I could just move all my components / wheels over.

Any info appreciated.  Even without info I may just go ahead so I can pass along the info to anyone else interested.

Thanks!
