Spect Strada

[RobinRolling]

So, the (only China?) shipment definitely has started. There are now popping up some frames on rednote, mainly bike shops but it gets more every day.
Quality seems okay and not that bad paintjob like on some pictures from weeks ago for example. So far I found one shop which weighed the parts. As expected, it is definitely not the lightest but for the design with the external fork it is okay in my opinion.

Personally I don't get answers via Insta since 2 weeks, so that is a shame... also it looks like, the shipping just started in China. But yeah, at least there are now some real frames. For getting updates, I would recommend Rednote.

The latest news I've seen recently is that this company is getting sued for misleading consumers.

First, they claim their products are TÜV certified, but there's zero record of it on the TÜV site, and they refuse to produce an actual test report.

Second, they're refusing to provide GB standards documentation—which is required by law for any product sold in mainland China. Selling without GB compliance is straight-up illegal over there.

Regardless of how the legal stuff shakes out, my advice is to stay far away from such a sketchy company.

There are even more frames on rednote, mainly bike shops but also a few customers. But it is not that much, maybe around ~30. This bike shop in Singapur has the first one outside of china I believe.
Personally I got a response that they can ship my bike immediately, but not the right color. It takes only a few days, this was 1,5 weeks ago but now are national holidays. But yeah, the communication is still a mess and the delivery super slow... also they ship the bikes right now without garmin mount and the cockpit has a proprietary system, so u need to use zip ties...

Personally I am still in the game, because the refund via PayPal business is super easy, at least a few other guys pulled the plug and got easy their money back.
But tbh, my PayPal deadline is end of October

Overall, I can't recommend to order there, the stock situation and communication is a big pain

I ordered a Spec Mira frame from Cyclegears. Have any of you received it? They said it would ship at the end of October. I haven't heard anything back.

... also didn't get any update about my Strada Frameset, ordered in May directly from Aerofor. My last messages on instgram have been ghosted so far.

Dude, that does not sound good! Start the PayPal refund as fast as possible. I started mine a few weeks ago and now I have my money back

It is a long story with this insta acc but the latest news is, that the instagram account with 3K follower is a copy cat. That is not an official Instagram account from the company. Check the spect owner group on Facebook, there are some news.

Their new and official account is aerofor_official. I talked with them a month ago via WeChat and they confirmed, that instagram account aerofor_composites is a fake.
Seems like this guy stole their content from rednote and scammed a lot of people. He was very successfully because his story that the frames are delayed was actually true because the original company had some problems.

Otherwise this company still is not the best brand, even the delivery's in China are delayed and it took an awful long time for the first frames.

So far there is just an option for order a frame via WeChat as far as I know

Thanks for the information. I've had contact to Aerofor on Wechat today and the confirmed, that my invoice is not from  them. I started a refund on paypal an hope to get my money back.
