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

[JImportante]

A week ago I also ordered a frame in size 58. Chameleon white.
In addition, wheels from Peter - 50mm/50mm (1160g), Shimano 105 di2, 3D Ryet Saddle, OSPW Ryet, Titanium SpeedPlay pedals and Magene P505 powermeter. I hope that in mid-may the frame will be delivered

I am currently considering this frame (or the LCR017-D) but I am not entirely sure yet.
Would be my first self build bike anyway and I have been indecisive for over a year now 

I'm curious how tall the people are that buy the 58.
I'm 194cm and the Specialized Website would recommend a size 61 for me. It does have a 591mm stack though, which I would instinctively say could work out.

And does anyone know what TanTan is recommending for max rider/system weight?

I'm 190cm and ordered 58 and 110m stem lenght.  I've asked GC Performance (he is building lot of original SL8) about size and he suggested 58.

I also got told yesterday that my frame has a delay of 5/10 day in production. Was kind of expecting it really. Im not in a hurry and for what I pay to wait a 1/2 weeks more is ok.

So how long have you been waiting so far?

Well I’m almost there just trying to explain to Vivian I want a RAW/naked Matt carbon finish not an actually raw unfinished frame 
Appreciate English is not first language but trying to explain is hard work!
But will get there in end!

Maybe ask for only a matte clearcoat and no paint and leave out the "raw" part?

I wanted to order the frame in dark matte blue (like RedBull F1 Car/ Pantone 296C) but even Tantan said that they would not recommend the matte Finish because it scratches very easy. I am not sure right now. I have a Matte Black Rose Bike which does not have any scratches after 1 1/2 Years but I don't know if the paint quality from Tantan will be as good. My Airwolf frame seems to scratch more easily even tho it is glossy.

I payed March 13th. So 18  days which is ok and as I said it is really ok for me to wait a bit. Based on the times which I have read in this forum I expect it to arrive at the beginning of May. And yes the language barrier is real.

At tan tan, they call this "UD matte". That's also what I ordered They also sent some exemplary photos, which looked good...

Yep sorted and trigger pulled!

After payment, the shipment will be completed in 20-25 working days.
Shipping to the UK: about 10-18 days.
The factory has been very busy recently, and the orders have increased dramatically.
Thank you.


May get actual RAW frame and get it finished myself as lead in is only 7-10 days fir this but that’s also bars and seatpost

Are these XM-wheels? Do you mind elaborating on the specifications and price for the wheels?

Cool. Curious as to why you folks with actual sl8's are ordering these...
