I am waiting right now for the PayPal link, seems like their paying process is not completely done or ready. Otherwise I don’t know, normally they send you the paying link directly
45 days + shipping, so hopefully the frame is in Germany before August

May I ask for the final quoted price? Mainly curious about the shipping. I asked them about shipping to Czech Republic, but haven’t had an answer yet. Thanks!

Like it their pdf, 1099 US Dollar for the Frameset and shipping is 200 for Europe with customs and fees included. But right now I don’t get a reply, two days ago they wanted me to send the PayPal link. Think they are pretty busy and shipping starts end of June, at least they told me that

Managed to finalize my order today after a few days delay with the PayPal link.
In the end I decided for size 51 with 120mm cockpit and the silver/white colour. Coming from a Scott foil in XS and 110 stem. 170cm if someone is interested.
Seatpost will be 15mm offset, don’t think they will have the zero offset Seatpost in time. Priorities are getting the first batch ready hopefully till end of June.

Will keep you guys posted, first chine frame for me but my girlfriend had since last spring a QuickPro Er One

Just my 2 cents, don't want to ruin this for anyone. When I saw the frame for the first time I was amazed and I really wanted to buy it, but as with everything, after the first love fades away you start to notice some weird things.

Firstly, I extremely disliked the seatpost tube. On their Taobao page (btw I attached screenshots) they claim that they got design inspiration from Pinarello and Factor, and the seat tube is an exact Pinarello replica, and it's so horrible it ruins the whole design for me. Pinarello's design is based on these absolutely unnecessary, ugly curves, which this bike doesn't have.

The second thing, the Chinese always like to play it safe. The bayonet fork is not as wide as Factor's, and the tire clearance, especially on the back, is all wrong. They have huge gaps which ruin aerodynamics; the gap is about 2–3 times bigger than Factor's. Overall, I can describe this bike as a Frankenstein that gathered everything from all over the place without really benefiting from anything.

But again, even this was okay, but I disliked their attitude toward the customer. Right now they have closed all orders—I found this out from the dealer. But they never replied to any of my messages on Instagram or WeChat, just completely ignoring me, which shows how they treat the customer. Paying $1k to a company that was created a few days ago where you don't know how the build quality is (I already saw some cracking of paint somewhere, can't remember where exactly). I am only writing this not to hate on this company, but just to share my opinion and experience.

It will be interesting to see once the first frames are shipped how they ride and how the build quality is. Until then it is basically a complete gamble with very little or no protection to get you money back if the product is shit. The bike itself looks cool but the quality remains to be seen.

Looks killer indeed but yeah the whole new fresh brand… risky

I’d opt for the latest aero from PARDUS which is a well established company with years of experience, sponsorship Conti pro team etc. Legit AF. If only they were distributing worldwide better :’)
I have & ride 23 bikes
Also I ride a lot, like a lot lot

Yes I agree, it's a very new brand, I will definitely wait until the end of the year to see any reviews and understand the quality of the product before purchasing it.

I will continue to lean into my opinion that the geometry and design doesn't make a lot of sense for the modern rider.

Customers in this price range tend to lean towards custom builds where they spec each component individually. Being locked into a proprietary cockpit is not only problematic for bike fitting, but for resell value too. If you care about such things.

Marketing first. Function second.

This is such an underrated comment. I know people who have had their TT bikes in shops for 6-8 months awaiting the right cockpits--and road bikes like the S5 or V1RS sitting for 6 months. If you end up needing something that isnt the stock size, its a nightmare.

Well, my Communication was also a bit tricky sometimes. A few days no answers and then in 2 Hours permanent online and it was like a phone call.

The Seatpost is true, but my hope is, with a 30mm tire the gap is not that big. I like the optics but yeah, it is a Mix of a lot of different Designs. My hope is, that i can get a really nice fit with the rise Cockpit, i put a lot of Effort in choosing the right size + stem combination.

But yeah, in the end is a a new brand I will see, how the bike is. But I wanted to try something new and the other Option was the new Pardus Bike. Bit with 3000 Dollar it is to expensive
