Weight 680g is amazing, but I also looking for 32c tyre clearance

What well known frame would this be comparable to? Doesn't look full aero. Weight is climbing-material, but looks more aero than (for example) an aethos. Curious about normal-size weight :)

Looks like a nice frame. The reach is a little long for my taste...
And looks like the era of cheap TFSA frames has come to an end...  :(

Yes, over 1000€ is a lot of money for an AliExpress frame

Prices of their frames do fluctuate A LOT, so maybe we're at a peak now and they will get better...
When I first saw this post I kinda got tempted, but when I saw the price the temptation quickly went away  8)

Can't even see how one can justify such value

Yeah, the geometry looks nearly identical to the SP-R088 but double the price.

looks very close to Sp088 but less aero and with more round shape tubes.
I prefer te TFSA over Sp008, it's "cleaner" (I love climb shape)

SP-R008 has a proprietary seatpost, this has a good old 27.2

I really like this frame.... $1K is OK for the specs, top of what I would pay for a Chinese frame. Problems for me are I'm right in the middle of M & L, and I just finished a road build :(

I discovered TFSA is well-loved in China. They're the bang-for-buck bike brand over there. I've seen full bike builds of the JH-35 weighing in at the mid 6.5kg range with full pedals/cages/computer mount.

Pricing is super high vs the rest of their offering

Looks nice. Would appreciate at least 32c tire clearance though.

Agree, max 30 mm is almost a dealbreaker now a days
