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

[dovh]

My uncut fork was 360.3g (somewhat good coffee scale ) but i don't remember now if it was with thru axle or not... And the photo i have is rather pointless in that regard

Ok i think it had to be with the thru axle so it means it was around 333g or so in that case.

Ok the frame inspection is £212gbp!
My tight Irish blood is saying no! 
My sensible head is saying yes!

Well if i want to part with the cash Will have to take it in tomorrow or do I take a risk and save £200
Bit of s quandy end up spending £200 to find out the frame is no good and upset the group potentially.
CoreX88 had there frame inspected after the for failure will ask what inspection was carried out and any update to see how TanTan have been dealing with it

well, I'd not spend the money. Might have just the fork done given the failure, but yours is so heavy that they must have added material, lol.

One question guys, everyone. QC Pass stickers are included in your frames?

They are probably still on the broken fork without resin

[Davidhe23]

In France some donkey in the government decided that grades were racist or transphobe, so schools now give coloured stickers to students, as if they were delayed, instead of grades.

I have the same faith in these QC stickers on frames.

My frame doesn't even bring those stickers, I feel like every time I ride it I'm risking my life, even though it's a really nice frame to drive.

Tried fitting the Darimo seatpost in the X68 frame and noticed the seat tube is just a tiny bit wider more play side to side.
 I could get the X68 post—probably an inch diameter—into the SL8 frame, but that’s it. .

The Darimo post fits the SL8 nicely and snugly. But the X68 post, if you don’t hold it tightly, will just slide right into the framem. I wouldn’t buy a genuine SL8 post because the Darimo one felt a bit loose in the X68 frame.

For the X69 seatpost hardware weight:
   •   Carbon cradle: 12g
   •   Saddle yokes/clamps x2 No: 10g
   •   Two M5 Ti bolts (30 and 35mm): approx 4g
   •   Original barrel nut: 1g
Total: 27g

So overall, the seatpost weighs about 131.9g. I’m thinking of cutting the post down to 350mm and re-drilling the Di2 battery holes as well.

One more thing—the original rear bolt is M4 size for the seatpost clamp hole at the rear but an M5 bolt will thread through the back hole in the seatpost without issue.

Those are aftermarket parts, right?
Could you pls share links?

Short update:

TanTan is messing around since 3 weeks and did not source and ship a UD matt frame after accidently painting it.

So I'm waiting since the 5.03. so more then 9 weeks and the frames are not ready to ship!
