dcrf26 frame - Scott Foil?
« on: March 23, 2023, 02:12:44 PM »
Anyone come accross this?

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005335316035.html?spm=a2g0o.store_pc_groupList.8148356.1.6cf87dd0p2826g&pdp_npi=2%40dis%21EUR%21%E2%82%AC%20789%2C94%21%E2%82%AC%20473%2C96%21%21%21%21%21%40210318b816795981986032905e9149%2112000032651802741%21sh

You can have it any size you want provided its 52. Makes me wonder if they've only got the mould for that size and these are first few builds they've got for sale. Looks like a Scott Foil? I'm not that keen on for that reason and the size won't work for me anyway. I am a bit curious about the manufacturer and wondering who actually makes it.

Any thougths?

After looking more closely it's not exactly the same as the new foil. Pretty close though

Looks like they have more sizes now! Additionally tantan seems to be selling it as the x38:

I do really like it, but it feels too close to a clone and would make me feel bad

Not a direct copy, but pretty close. 

IMO this is a significantly better prospect than the various F / SL7 style frames, though who knows what quality will be like.  TanTan stuff is *generally* better than VB, but there have also been a few posted here and one which I saw which were total garbage.

Another BSA bottom bracket on a budget Chinese frame. What could go wrong?

It's going to do well if sold on VB website. The "looks" of the frame kinda pays homage to both the 2023 Scott foil rc and the Cervelo S5. Not sure of the geometry.

Honestly I'd take this frame over the new Elves Falath EVO...

I would love this design from a more reputable brand. I'd happily pay $1000. Hopefully someone else picks it up.

If enough people ask LightCarbon / Winnow they might pick up the mold.  They're much better quality than VB or TT, and usually excellent customer service.

Did some lobbying like this already decided some builders to start producing a model?

Still looking forward to a community inspired bike frame, i.e. "ChinerTown" (...to agree on a suitable name) official frame with UCI certification, on which all our needs are met  8)

That would be awesome. An enduro, a full suspension XC, a hardtail, a gravel, a climber, an aero or a TT ?
But then could we all agree on the specs ?  ;D
