What is their Supersix clone? They also have a Cervelo R5 clone in road and gravel geometries.


The R5 clone in road geometry is the FM639 but what is the gravel geometry R5 clone?

Just to verify, the SL8 clones being marketed are the Seraph/TanTan X68, Onirii One Pro and SPCycle R088? All have near identical geometry, weight and features. Any others besides the obvious fakes?

The SPCycle R088 and Onirii One Pro are more like a SL6 (but with full integration), no aero sniffer!

no, IMHO, the SP R088 is identical to the sl8 to tan tan, to airwolf, in terms of geometry and shape, but with a different head tube and fork

GR029. I don't know if it's an exact geometry match but it has an identical look with much bigger tire clearance and more relaxed ergonomics.

My frame is painted and ready for shipment. At least on the pictures on Instagram, my color combo works out pretty well imho 8)

I hope the quality meets my expectations on arrival.

Seraph has a pretty nice portfolio of their frames on their Instagram https://www.instagram.com/tantanfactory_bike_frame/?hl=en

I'm impatiently waiting for a few more reviews of the X68.
