I bought two frames from them (M06 and G056), from my discussions with them, I believe they are oem but it’s hard to prove with certainty.
I read a book on that topic. Lying about this is extremely common in china, because chinese people know westerners want to hear that they're talking with the factory rather than a middleman. Makes us feel smart & connected, and we assume that we'll get a better deal.
Which doesnt mean they're lying to you, but when you look at Xiamen carbon speed, long teng, farsports and more, you feel like you're talking to the factory. In fact farsports invited me to visit their factory
I can't say that w SPCycle. At the very least, they are hiding any details about the factory. the fact their email is @lc2000.com.cn and has nothing to do with "spcycle" isn't a great starting point.
It's a key reason i'm doing my best not to buy from them, because i want to feel that i'm trusting my seller. if you're a broker, especially making your money on aliexpress, there's nothing stopping you from doing whatever you want, anytime. I dont like that. The quality fade on Alix is legendary. Airwolf is the same, btw, just worse, as we know that very often, airwolf ships out bad frames to people. we can only assume that they source whatever, wherever, and you roll the dice on what you get.
