SL8 Replica Build

[Rebel_Yell]

Just found out a buddy of mine coincidentally just got a 52CM S-works so when time permits i shall perform a test ride on his and i'll have him jump on mine for an honest review. Should be interesting since the major characteristics he raves about like light, stiff but twitchy and super comfy seems to be the same for me.

Any word on any of this testing?

Well like I've said earlier in this thread. I've tested this frame to bought at yohobike with his various ali stores.
Sprinted out the bottom bracket, position on headset bearing tore out. They claim they have warranty, well they are ignoring me.
Avoid at all costs, stick to chinese brands instead of counterfeit.

Jasus!!

You ok? I'm assuming you did not come off the bike?
Typical BS 2 year warranty with no real way of enforcing it!
I was on the fence  with this frame now its is a  defo no go for me, might be ok for the weekend warrior going on the group rode to the café but not for anything more serious!
Back to the drawing board with OEM but still tempted by the new Quick Pro AR: One.

Yeah, I know Raisinberry! Honestly, I’m torn about whether to pull the trigger or not.

Ok prey tell dear friend?

Not been much on here lol
But on the Chinses Bikes page on FB everyone one is asking where Peter from Taiwan Eisen has gone? as no correspondence is being answered at the moment. 
Before I bought my Tan Tan X68 I messaged and got nothing and  thought maybe I had been blocked, glad I went with Tan Tan!
Anyone else here tried contacting them?

That’s a very respectable weight for a 58cm — looks great!
Which seller did you buy the frame from, and how long did delivery take?
Have you had the bike built up for long, and have you ridden it much yet?
Also, do you know how much the frame alone weighed?

It came from rocking bike on AliExpress- which I think sell yoho bikes - second bike I have recieved from them - the first a factor ostro vam - which I have had for a year and a half - about 1 month in from order or so

for those who have seen my white factor in the other thread, known for its smooth interal layup. The same seller has listed out his high end SL8 replica with replica darimo handlebar and seatpost

the weight is sub 700g for a size 54 painted frame, do note there will not be s-works/specialized decals.



he is selling it for 7000rmb including postage within china

wechat contact: ofo901

do note he is not selling on either taobao/aliexpress, so you will have to sort out the payment(he only accepts alipay transfer) and shipping (a forward shipper to ship your frame from the designated warehouse to your location)

You are right.
Btw, it is the same as mine - from Taiwaneise.
I think the producer is always the same
