For me I changed to 380 bars from 400 and noticed it was a lot more unstable when I made that change. Just my experience, may not be the same for others

Interesting to know. You kept the same stem length?

Real tyre clearance is 30 or 32?

30 front and 32 back i would say.
My 28mm tires measure 30 and I would not go bigger in the front.

Yes went to 110mm a few years ago. Didn't notice any difference when I went from 100 to 110mm.

Wow, that's a 30% increase. Not so great value anymore...

Sometimes they are increasing the price and getting ready for a "sale". I also saw the Magene Ultra Wheelset's price at $2000 but then it came back to $1200 or something.

I always deal with that kind of practice because we have a local Aliexpress on our country which is called Lazada (which is a subsidiary of Alibaba)

probably, common practice all over Aliexpress. If you keep track, most items are always on some kind of discount, to give the impression that it's a special price and you either buy fast or the price will increase. Even though the higher price is on for like 10 days a year, and the usual price is at -30% tag.
So once in a while (normally right before some website sale) the price increases, for 1 or 2 days, and then comes right back.

Well, it looks like they increased the prices of all their frames to rather absurd levels, so I guess it will indeed be the full price/discount game they are playing...

It's the same for their wheels. They were about $630 Australian and are now over $1,000. Then shipping and local tax on top makes them really expensive.

I see the Winowsports frames (same frames, different paint) also have had this price increase...
And the TFSA SL7 clone has also gotten really expensive...

1st of october is China's National day, holidays lasts  this whole week. Many sellers raise the prices to not bother them buying their products ;D

That's right. They're back with regular prices already. In the meantime my frame came today. I'm posting some pictures from the factory as I didn't make any by my own yet.

This is a custom pain job right? Did you have to pay extra?


Additional feedback on ride quality from the fully built bikes? I am interested in someone with also experience with higher priced Chinese frames (like Yishun or lightcarbon).

Also curious to see if they will have any sale for 11.11
