Seraph Bikes Superlight 836g X68 - Alternative to SL8 Fakes?

[Sander2177]

Hi
I got my fake SL8 from Taiwanese:
frame size 56 828gr (835gr with 5 bottles bolts and front derailleur hanger) - naked carbon finish, no logo
Fork 321gr - - naked carbon finish
Seatpost  (long version) 173gr
Handlebar 347gr

It will take me some weeks to recollect the pieces and test it.
The only thing I do not like at this stage is the space btw fork and head tube and btw headtube and headset coverage (I will add some photos).

I will keep you posted.

This issue of gaps in this area are well document over on Weighweenies for the actual SL8
Sone thought the gaps were excessive mainly where the transition spaces under the stem met the head tube. Good thing they transferring the same niggles onto the copies lol

Seraph offers gravel bikes prebuilt with wheeltop from $900 on aliexpress, crazy!

Priced went up, and the shipping is alot more...

$220 tu Texas, not too bad I think. that's get the bike delivered during sales for a cool $1000, hard to beat. it wasnt thta frame though

Here are the gaps, on the top and below of the headtube.
Any suggestion to close a bit these spaces ?

Can’t you file down the top side of the C ring to get it to where you want? I had to do that on my gravel bike, takes an hour work over a couple of nights for a perfect fit

You got this from Taiwan, so not the same frameset from TanTan? so different hardware kit?
