Will they build the bike for you ?

[LowPaceKingdom]

To be honest i dont really know.
It is my first time that i buy something from china directly.
I think they will build this bike "half way" . thats at least what i can interpretate from our communications.
They will "send photos once its completed" 25-30 workdays.

Thanks. Overall I'd say the price is right for all the specs. Not easy to get it cheaper.

Did you consider wheeltop instead of 105 di2?

how do you connect DI2 FD to the battery without drilling an hole?

Hello SRAM  ,

You are right :

[Cnasta]

Shitttttt, no hole for FD Di2.... Send them a message about it. It's a no-go for me, since I already have the groupset (2x11sp Di2 Ultegra).

Other option is the Speeder 55D, but it's about 350/400 usd more expensive or the Velobuild 268 that is a tiny bit heavier and seems to know some problems....

[CoreX88]

Hi there, I have one ordered as well. I think cables are routed the same way as on the SL8. Page 22 in the instruction manual of the SL8.

well seen, it seems to be the case , but nobody knows if there is an hole behind the cover

Here is a picture of a replica (not Seraph but it is maybe the same mold for all replicas).

We can see 3 holes.

Guys there is a Hole . Like the original tarmac sl8

yes i did even consider LTWOO,  but after all MY research i dont think there right "there". Few more years needed in MY opinion.
In Germany u get Shimano Di2 105 for around 1k euros (full Groupset shifters , disc brakes, Cranks, Etc)
WHEEL TOP EDS-TX "almost" same price

Thanks for that Was afraid I had to go for the more expensive option of Speeder And sorry was to lazy/in panic to search for myself 

[Mariuszuzd]

Hi, I'm also considering their frame. Someone already got a frame from them? I saw that some people have already ordered, but if was delivered, or everyone is waiting ?
