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

[volan]

For the terminal use of the frame, I'd vote for a dystopian thing where some child molester has to ride the bike down a very long, very steep road, straight into a solid brick wall. I want slow mo cameras at the point of impact, I want a terminal velocity over 70kmh, I want blood, guts, pink mist really, blowing up. Obviously, the bike has no brakes. I'm not sure how practical it would be to prevent the guy from trying to save himself, so probably there are guard rails with various lovely knick knacks, like razor blades, rusty barb wire, maybe some embankments with broken glass.
And then the victims and their families get to piss on the carcass.
Then you discard the bike and chuck the remains in the compost bin.
That would sell so well as pay per view content. And bits of the impact would make great tiktok videos.

The show would need a nice title, maybe something demure like "piss on the carcass"?

I should work in media.

You should write satire. This is brilliant

I asked for the mix but they said full T1000.

they can tell you its T6900 and you wouldn't have any means to prove it. just ask them to send some videos of a load test done on that frame and be at peace with it

[Serge_K]

Btw, important question. T-800 and T-1000 are obviously types of Terminators.
Did Toray carbon fibers start using their nomenclature before the terminators, or did some genius in japan fell in love with Skynet and came up with these names?
If i were in marketing, this is 100% the kind of thing i would try to do, would be such magnificent trolling.

What i find the most problematic is how seraph made a 321g with uncut steerer copied fork while specialized one's are around 350-370g.
It doesn't seem safe at all for me...

Seraph knows how to use carbon as opposed to Spe  ...

You are right, very suspicious'

I really like this idea. Test for a couple of months, and then have the Chinertown moderators randomly select a member to receive the frame afterwards. It's a Festivus miracle!

Do it Pat, for Chinertown science!! I'll be down to donate.

[Antoine23]

I'm veery tempted to get this frame actually... I've emailed Tantan/seraph to know if the frame takes Spe SL8 accessories like seat post and such but told me no

[jonathanf2]

I don't get it. First everyone is saying fakes are bad and now you all want one reviewed?

Sometimes I think this forum should be called toopoor4sworks.com instead!

Has it occured to you, perhaps, that people are not a monolithic entity, but rather individuals with differing opinions?

Apart from the ethical question, I think that people do not want fakes because they do not know the origin of the frame and the manufacturing quality contrary to Tantan who produce their own frames and who have a reputation (good to bad) in the manufacturing.

On the other hand, not sure if they produce this frame specifically...

Wow, you must be philosopher. 

If people want fakes, I'm all for it. Might as well go all in and get a fake SL8 from Taiwan Eisen and compare it to the real thing. None of this baby step bullshit!

[patliean1]

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.

[neobiker]

Did you ask if it was a matter of time? Maybe if you ask them for 50 USD more than normal? XD

[waltini]

That's strange, when they first had the bike listed you could choose custom painting?

It really seems like all of these frames are coming from the same place, doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.

[Avalius]

If anyone wants this frame with s-works on for 250€ send me a message. Also full T1000, unbreakable bracket and clean headset.

In reality fucked  up frame with flaws and glued in bracket. But it rides, 250€ for decoration is a fine price .. haha

I'm sorry but I don't believe this is a different frame than the counterfeits being offered.
