Why did you only order the frameset when the whole bike is so cheap?

The Ultegra version costs less than $2,000 and the Dura-Ace version costs $2,800 plus $375 for shipping  ???

The bike itself looks great. Only thing is the name, if they could do one without the logos it would look even better :D Did you order directly via the website or where in direct contact via whatsapp etc. with a sales rep?

That price, "$515 Frame, $5 Thru-axle", is for the frameset (frame, fork, seatpost, TA) I assume, but with or without handlebar? Because this frame requires a bespoke riser handlebar, it seems...

I think i'll buy some stickers and make the C look like an O. 'OAMP'
Minimum order quantity to get different logo/ no logo is 30...
Ordered via Alibaba. From what i was told that is their frame division, and its a different process entirely to purchase full bikes. I'm assuming via email/whatsapp.

Found the 105 Di2 model at AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005012786969573.html

Not as cheap as it seemed, maybe because it's not being sold by the manufacturer but by some third party seller...

I contacted them back in March after watching several bilibili teasers. They theoretically arranged the order and gave me a 50 day leadtime. Back then they had to wait for the UCI certificate to arrange orders so that leadtime was somewhat orientative.

Around two weeks after this first convo they sent me proof of their UCI sticker (which is very useful  :-X :-X) and sent me a PI.

Last week of April told me that they had already started the production of my frameset and so on. I contacted them early June asking for the status and told me that for the 20th would be ready, they also added that the frame itself was being painted at that moment.

After receiving no more info about the status for almost a month and a half I contacted them again the second of this month and they told me that "something is delay".

I have not contacted them anymore and neither I have received any messages.

By this I do not mean that Camp is not a reputable brand because those who are familiar with the chinese internal market know that it clearly is. I rather want to showcase that Camp are probably overwhelmed with their internal demand in such a high scale that their international focus is rather low at the moment.

The information regarding prices back in march for the european market where 520+261 dollars for the frameset (frame, fork, seatpost, handlebar, bb, headset and f/r axles) and ddp freight, respectively. Which goes in line with what has been said in this forum.

Thanks for all the info, that is super helpful.

I was told and I quote “Production time 50-55 days ( the orders of this models is full, there's a waiting period)”. From this, I’m assuming there is a long backlog, I’m happy to wait a couple months but I’ll be interested to know if in a few weeks you still have not heard anything back.

For this price I'd just buy a Cube Agree Pro.

And those "Sale" prices on AliX are getting out of hand in general ::)

To be fair though, China is as capitalist as it gets, ironically. In the sense, here, that we can observe so many players trying to make money, differentiating. We can call it a healthy product category. You have OEM that keep doing their thing, invisible to us (on this forum we never hear of the truly large ones because they dont need our business), you have smaller OEMs that we do see (Long teng, Speeder), you have OEMs/actors that try to brand themselves (XMCS), you have clone peddlers (tantan), you have criminals (Yoho), you have Aliexpress "names" that are different levels of opacity and obscurity (SPcycle), you have Chinese "native brands" like Winspace, Yoeleo, Tavelo, that are usually directly associated with an OEM, you have brokers / middle men / salespeople (velobuild, lightcycling), and so on.
Point being: if people are willing to spend 3+k on an aliexpress bike from a shop that can disappear tomorrow, it's the market economy talking. I call it throwing shit at the wall, but i tend to be cynical. Tons of people want to buy a full bike, and have no idea about components. When you sell a full bike, you get to capture margins on every component, and you appeal to a wider audience. Economically, it makes sense.
Whether that's a smart buy for someone who's switched on is a different matter.
Aliexpress, in general, is going to shit, due to dynamic pricing, tariffs, shipping costs, and general macro instability.
