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

[nis240sxt]

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

I might be better off buying a used SL8 frameset, lol. Any recommendations for an SL8 compatible integrated cockpit from China? Ideally I would like a bit of flare with something like 38-39 cm in the hoods and around 40 cm in the drops and compact geometry.

Got multiple phonenumbers and their address in Dongguan but I'm still being ghosted.
If anyone is in China and doing research at replica business send me a private message. Would be an awesome youtube video..  (hint hint)

Did you pay by PayPal ? Even if yes, I doubt PayPal can do anything.

Even Winow is ghosting me. Drives me mad how unprofessional some of these people are. I spent 3k with the guy and he wont reply.
I just wanted to vent

Winow ? So not more professional as the others sellers.
