Re: [Help Wanted] High-End SL8-Like OEM Frame – T1100/EPS/UD Raw I don't love the geometry of the Cima myself. These days I'm trying avoid running a 140mm stem, so I prefer a longer reach and wheelbase on their size large. That and I don't love the paint jobs. But I understand their conservative nature for this first go-round.

EDIT: Can't for @Serge_K to rip this thread into shreds  ;D

I've purchased it on Aliexpress (store: taiwan factory bike parts Store - model New Model Fasterway Ostro) and I could choose between any factor color scheme (painted or the stickers are under the paint), I doubted the one without any paint or just the clear paint that you could see the carbon layers. I know a lot of people here don't like replicas or placing a brand name on a copied frame, but in the end, I still did it, because I liked it (sorry).

I had to look back which seller I actually had, because I forgot it and have since I build the bike now around 5300 km done, and still going strong.

I have now confirmed that Colonel's supplier (Taiwan Glory Bike Store Store) is the latest 2025 V2 EPS molding hence the better quality.

For anyone keeping up with this thread, avoid taiwan factory bike parts Store as they could not guarantee the quality and would not confirm 100% refund it not happy.

I think it's quite an aggressive claim to be honest, but I do believe before you make a purchase it's good to do your own research. If I had a chance to do it again, I would probably also take another seller that is known for a nicer and smoother internal build, however I want to make a point that it is not exploding or cracking or what so ever. I'm riding it, 3 to 4 times a week and it's holding firmly, steady, solid, it's fast, etc., even with all the "fake" stuff that is not done here on the forum.

So I'm still happy with my Taiwan Factory Bike Parts Store replica factor frame, that everyone should avoid!

My 2.0 has just arrived from Taiwan Glory and I am very impressed.  The colour I chose was 'blue to purple chameleon' - the colourway pops !


enjoy your new frame.  absolute head turner paintjob
