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

I'd also consider the Magene P505 S1103 spider only. You can mount that to any 3 bolt crankset such as the Riro carbon cranks and get additional weight savings. I have two of S1103 PM spiders on my road bikes using carbon cranksets. It'll also open you up to any 110bcd 4 and 5 bolt options.

Pes505 is a great crankset with power meter. Weigh is competitive.

Riro have questionable quality and s1103 is pretty heavy at almost 150g. Would not chose this combo over pes505 base

I prefer having options with different cranksets and bottom bracket types. Plus I can go with a lightweight carbon or a sturdy steel crankset if I choose. To each their own, but I'd rather have flexibility.

Yeah, for some reason people seem to prefer 1 fixed heavy option compared to flexibility....

We are still talking about a frame with a 41mm bottom bracket shell. 3 bolt 29mm axle is a dead end system, if you don't have a 46/47mm bb shell.

Bro, there are 24mm steel axle 3 bolt cranksets available on the market. As it stands, 3 bolt cranksets are perhaps the most prevalent and price competitive option in the Chinese crankset market.

This isn't a complex scenario. Either A you prefer a fixed PM+crankset option -or- B you prefer the flexibility of a versatile PM+whichever crankset. Only reason I even mentioned this option is due to people who've been bodging their PM from the PES crankset and moving it to something else. They could have just bought the stand alone unit in the first place.
