Which store exactly did you buy from? And was that the Specialized clone that disintegrated?

it's not listed anymore so he said he has another store that lists the aeroad and dogmaF.... thats "ride love"...


 I have bought lots from that store (RideLove) over the years and never had a bad experience. A little slow at times but arrived eventually.
I have a hope until someone can prove otherwise.

I reckon they're all resellers, so the quality of their products may vary.
Since I liked the geometry of my rim brake VB-R218 a lot, I was tempted to get a disc version. VB however do not sell my size anymore and clear out their stock, so I needed to look elsewhere. After much back and forth with the QILEFU store, I decided to give them a try. It was helped by the fact that Aliexpress offered free return on the frame. The seller confirmed that I would have the option, even though they asked me not to order if I was planning on returning it (because they're likely never going to actually get it back).

I'm very pleasantly surprised by the frameset. It's lighter than my VB-R218. Paint quality is better except for some minor imperfections. All the accessories, like the headset cover, the C clip, the cover on the underside of the handlebar, the stem and seatpost wedges are actually of better quality with no sharp edges that needed any sanding. No sharp edges on the entry and exit holes on the handlebar. The plastic parts are reassuringly stiff and visibly made of glass fiber reinforced material. On my VB-R218, the plastic cover on the underside of the handlebar bends if you tighten the screws, for instance. It doesn't do that on this frame.
The BB threads were clean. The only thing I needed to do is sand the rear flatmount tabs to get the rear brake perfectly aligned. The fork was fine from the get go. The build as pictured weighs 7.9kg in a size XXL with pedals and all accessories. That's fine with me as some of the stuff on this bike could still be lighter.

Also the FD hanger is bolt on instead of riveted to the frame. So you can take the hanger off if you want to.

how is the stiffness of the frame / handlebar when you put the power on?

Pretty much middle ground and the same compared to my rim brake version. I found this frame to be stiff on the front end. BB is sort of middle of the road. Not the stiffest I ever had and also not the flexiest. Rear end and seatpost are somewhat flexy which is in line with what I read about the actual Dogma. There’s no worrying amount of flex anywhere. Also no rotor rub when standing up on the climbs and putting the power down so that’s good.

Was just wondering how you were able to route the FD cable?  I’m thinking of building one up with mechanical also.

I've ordered a dogma f 2025 copy a few months ago and have ran into some major issues. The seller stopped communicating and AliExpress refuses to refund me fully (they refunded 75 euro of 750).

I am doubting to start my own topic to get some more information on other buyers with similar problems.

First of all the steerer tube is not aligned with the fork/axle and because of the oval shape, it can not be pointed straight. The first handlebar was also crooked but was replaced by the seller. It was 2cm lower on the left.

The second problem is the bottom bracket. The left and right threads are not aligned and it's impossible to get the axle through, even hammering it in doesn't work. It's about 4mm out of line....

I don't know if I would trust qilefu. But because I have bought for around 250 euros in accessories, especially for this frame, I would like to have the same frame and my money back...(Gold titanium bolts, direct mount hanger, Garmin varia mount,...)

I paid 750 if you read my post correctly. And I don't expect exceptilonal quality, just useable. It's a throw away...

I wasn't able to finish the build because I was waiting on a lexon carbon crank that was at customs for 6 weeks. The week before it arrived I had a crash, broke my calf in 2 places, some ribs and dislocated my kneecap. That is why it took this long ...

Not sure I understand. You bought this frame at QILEFU or somewhere else?

Somewhere else, should've known as the seller made the order through another Ali shop as where I found the advertisement.

I'm in doubt if I would buy another one from qilefu as I'm stuck with a lot of parts...
