Re: Seraph Bikes Superlight 836g X68 - Alternative to SL8 Fakes? My bike is out of paint as of today, so figure around a little over a month allowing for the holiday break.
From the video the paint looks great and bb and disc mounts seem nicely faced.

Re: Seraph Bikes Superlight 836g X68 - Alternative to SL8 Fakes? Question, does the lowest spacer/headsetcap/whateverthename is, sit flush after finishing the build? The gap/size doesnt really seem to fit the headtube/toptube-intersection.

By the way, loving the purple matte frame! Haven't seen that one before.

Just got info that my frame is finised and shipped out. I ordered/paid mine on the 16th of January. Also got some pics from the Tantan guys before they packed and shiped it out.  :)

So far this has been the only paint job I've seen on the X68 that would make me reconsider not ordering raw paintless carbon.

Btw is the derrailer hanger the same as the SL8 has?
Yes. I swapped the stock hanger with an aliexpress direct mount hanger. The fit was perfect and I've had no issues.

Re: Seraph Bikes Superlight 836g X68 - Alternative to SL8 Fakes?
Hey all, we have almost finished the build yesterday.
It's not entirely finished, but I have to wait with the handlebar tape until I get to the bike fit guy to set it up properly for me.
Here is the photo of the almost finished bike. It weighs a little over 8kg in size 58 and has quite heavy wheels and tires. With better wheels and tires that I hope to get soonish(tm), I should be able to save around 500-550g with that alone.

Some notes from building the bike. Brakes, we're not that hard to center. It took some finicking, but my friend managed to do it in about 20 minutes or so. Routing cables and hoses were also not that hard, but be careful so you don't drop the metal plate holding the front derailleur in the seat post tube. It was a pain to finagle it back in place.. Otherwise, everything was relatively straightforward. The headtube was finished nicely, and the bearing sat firmly there with no play. Also, the gap under the spacers is not bad after compressing it (see picture). 

Can't attach pictures here. It crashes the page, so it's here on google drive - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1AEk9xj3Kvf6tfcz9mtWzV21S3gj--7qY?usp=sharing

I also dropped that metal plate holding the front derailleur plate into the seat tube absolute pain to get that back

For future user, you can have a look at pages 20, 21 and 22 of the Tarmac SL8 manual. It explains how to install it.

I must say that it's my first time using any OSPW, so besides it looking cool, I'm not sure what benefits it brings. :D The shifter's performance is amazing, and it shifts almost instantly and precisely. It didn't make it any worse, for sure. I would recommend the Ryet OSWP. My friend recommended it to me, and he's also happy with it.

dovh thanks for getting back to me  :D
I have pulled the trigger and ordered this OSPW
I am almost doing a mirror build of my Genuine SL8 as I have the Ceramicspeed OSPW and well this does look very good!
I also have have ordered a Ryet Saddle and some other bits.
Hoping to get this build down to sub 6.8kgs
How the bike riding?

Re: Seraph Bikes Superlight 836g X68 - Alternative to SL8 Fakes? Prom dress.

Initial impressions, only 15 miles in a 20 mph wind. It's very comfortable for a performance bike, didn't notice the carbon spokes at all, but hey, I've never ridden anything with a really wide (26 int) and a 30. So I'm not qualified.
The position is aggressive, but I'm 65 and can ride it so long as the hoods are reasonably high.
It doesn't feel cheap, that's for sure. Does it feel like an sl8 pro/expert? Dunno. My guess is close.
Wheeltop? Man,it shifts fine. The app is difficult. Press the bluetooth thing or nothing happens. No one tells you that.
The fd shift is low in casual mode. Theres a guy on facebook that has a bootleg app that separates out race mode from sleep(oem app kills sleep if you select race), and I suspect that'll greatly improve fd action. Rear action is plenty quick.
