What is the brand of your aerobar ?
It´s Controltech Falcon but with Zipp Vuka 110 pipes.

It has to be ordered directly from them for the F12 stem, regular version has a different size.

6070km now and I can really recommend 30mm tyres. Much more comfort and some added speed. Better ride feel overall.
New headset bearing with better quality also gave the bike a better feel so if I build something again it should be upgraded directly.
HG701 chain lasted around 5500km with muc of dry lube so I switched to Squirt wax now.

Some updates. The included lower headset bearing lasted less than 3500km. Bike have now 5500km in total. Will switch to 30mm Continental GP5000 S TR from 25mm and see how it handles.
F frame instead of F12 frame would be fun to try.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / TT clip on for Dogma

Any suggestion on how I can get a TT bar on my Dogma F12 with the special Talon Ultra handlebar?

Sadly, that link has gone already!
They work now.

The bike looks great.
I've been looking at replica Zipp 454s for a while. Sun Bike store seems to have gone, and all the ones I've found have said that the external wheel width is 25mm. but Zipp's website says it should be 28mm. Could I ask what the width of yours are? Did you note the internal width.
Thanks for sharing this build.

Sun bike store have a new name. Here comes everything you need.
454 wasn't on the webpage so I asked her for them.
ZEEUQI BIKE Store

I didn't measure the internal width. They are around 26mm on top and 28mm a bit down. I think the spec said 21mm inside. Or was it 23mm? Don't remember.
This is with 25mm GP5000 STR.

entry bikes going for 4/5K, considering stocks are up I think prices will get slashed soon.
I built my F12 replica with 454 nsw replica wheels, hydraulic disc ultegra di2 and assioma duo pedals for around 4200 USD.
An original bike would be like 4K with mechanic 105 and alloy wheels instead for the same price.
My CX was built for 1500 USD, same bike is like 4K today. It was very easy to justify the replica in my case for sure.

If not illegal, it's tacky.
I think the regular bike prices have been tacky. You will soon have to be a millionare to buy a road bike.

Definitely don't buy a replica like that. It's illegal.
It depends on what country you live in.

Going by the impeccable quality of my DogmaF from ali,

Do you have a build thread to share?

Jarkacz, which seller from Ali? Rocking cycling store/Taiwanese bike store? They are related to Yohobike.com and I have been looking at them for a while now. For some reasons, they seem reliable. However, I can't really find proper reviews. Also I am sure they sell a lot of them. They seem to be the most reliable replicas I could find.

Anyone has found detailed reviews from that seller?

This comes from "Taiwan Carbon Factory Store"
http://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,3391.0.html

Yohobike had the name Kiss Kiss at that point i bought mine. They seem to be just as good. Same thing with "High quality carbon frame store"

Some weight
454 front - 721 gram
454 rear - 865 gram

Ready roval rear - 1554 gram
Ready 454 rear - 1491 gram

4000km has passed. I bought new wheels from Sun Bike Store again with centerlock disc and Novatec 411/412 hubs.
https://www.aliexpress.com/store/5892539?spm=a2g0o.store_pc_home.pcShopHead_1262077414.0

11-30 was changed to 11-28 instead, i miss 16T though so I might move to 11-25 one day.
I can lower tyre pressure with those compared with Roval so I run 4,0/4,2kg front and rear now on rough tarmac. Around 5kg on smoth tarmac.
Lower headset bearing has been replaced after I broke it when I tried to remove it from the frame.
It´s a good bike and the aero comes in place after 30km/h. It does feel soft around 50km/h when gusty sidewinds hit me, i guess this frame isn´t that stiff in torsional load. But very good when climbing and sitting. Total weight is 8kg as it is on the picture with GP5000 STR 25mm and 40ml fluid in each tyre.
