Looks like yoho bikes or rocking bikes on AliExpress are doing just that - last chance is AliExpress admin - but don’t hold out any luck


Anyone know of any good sellers of handlebars?

It would be interesting to see if you can get the V2 version handlebars, they look like the updated design. I had my eyes peeled but cant seem to just buy the bars.

So I also dont have this part, but after looking at OEM Ostro forks I also dont think its required.

Here is a photo of the OEM Ostro fork, you see how its flat? its requires that wedge to provide support around the perimeter



Here is a photo of the ALI Ostro fork, they have modified it, its almost like they incorporate the extended perimeter, thus not requiring the wedge


I guess we get to find out if its a good design or not  8)

No situation, you order it, it shows up. Canada has import duties of 5% on frames and forks imported from China, but I've rarely had to pay them.

Meanwhile in Canada... laughing nervously. Please don't invade us. I like my cheap bike parts.

I just couldn't help myself, bought one of these too. I bought through the "RK Ultra Extreme Carbon Fiber Store". Overall good communication, polite, and easy to work with. Seems like they are just a dealer working with the factory. Received pictures of everything prior to shipment, and photos of other frames before ordering (for what its worth).

Paid $1100 CAD ($760 USD) all in for regular weight, passed on the lightweight version

Weights (size 56):
Frame: 1154g
Fork: 471g

We'll see how it goes, I have a set of custom Wheelsfar hypers on the way, a Lexon DUB crank, and an Ultegra Di2 group on the way.

Looks like Lexon has released a no logo version in 29mm spindle

Looking around AliExpress i stumbled on this frame. Looks to be a bit of a chunker, but ticks a few boxes. 32C tires, Aero profiles, High stack for an asian frame. Thoughts on the frame and brand?

Build complete.
Nice you got the grey one, I was all about this colorway when the frame was first announced. I was sad it wasn't one of the original colors available.

I have the Ltwoo 1x12 mechanical gravel groupset, I've put maybe 5000km on it without issue, works great. I actually prefer the thumb shifter now, i really like the ergonomics of it.

Yea but fake SL8's come with the potential for a beat down from Serge. A serious consequence that everyone should consider.

I saw this bike while browsing bikeporn on reddit, it's mentioned that it's an open mold frame. Has anyone stumbled on who might make it? The frame looks pretty good. More info at oak.cc
