I can't get it to show up either. Seems to be some kind of bug...

Yes, it is a bug. You can search it on YouTube :
TT-X68 inner wall shows precision cutting and high-strength carbon cloth stacking

It seems made extremely well..
I really hope it is the same producer of Taiwaneisen that I ordered.

Tantan says the frame only comes in matte black. No custom paint options are available.

This tells me Tantan is probably just brokering the frames rather than manufacturing them. A little unsettling if you ask me.

When I originally saw the comments re: "Specialized offloading overstock" I first thought: "what a wacky conspiracy theory!". But now after digging into this thread, and playing a bit of "spot the difference" between photos of the original SL8 and the Seraph SL8...I'm becoming more convinced.

What a weird thing to do. They must be taking quite the loss on each frame sold this way if they really are overstock.

What. If they had overstock issues like that they could just do a big sale, at 30% they could burn through all stock in like a week

Currently staring at my SL8 as I type this. The X68 is close but not identical.
