SL 8 clone As there is a topic on the SL 8 from Tantan but many people are talking about other sellers, I decided (as suggested by Serge) to create another topic which will allow us to talk about other sellers.

For my part, I bought the frame in size 54 from CarbonCycleGear store on Aliexpress:

https://fr.aliexpress.com/store/1103601241

The frame weighs 869g (white paint included) and the fork 355g.

Communication with the seller is really perfect. He answers all questions even after receiving the frame.

I haven't been able to ride the bike yet but the quality looks really excellent as shown in the photos.

If you want other photos, don't hesitate to ask.

In short, there are certainly plenty of good sellers (and many less good ones) but I highly recommend this one.

I will keep you informed of the progress of the bike construction.

Feel free to ask anything.

DIsclaimer : I am not a expert of carbon nor a pro rider :D.

Finally have build back of F-C Ostro V1 and the final tally is 6.8kg with all goods attached except the rear light/mount.

Ostro V1 Tier 3
DuraAce 9200 groupset with 165mm cranks
carbon bottle cages
90x400 bars
Favero PM pedals
BB Infinite T47A bottom bracket
Winspace Hyper 45s early gen models

weather here is way too cold so no ride report yet.

You can't drop this here without photos ;D Any insights from the mechanic?

Re: Seraph Bikes Superlight 836g X68 - Alternative to SL8 Fakes? When I get my frame from Tantan (hopefully at the end of February), I'll post some pictures taken inside the frame with an endoscope camera.

Re: Seraph Bikes Superlight 836g X68 - Alternative to SL8 Fakes? Here you have photos of the assembly of the Tantan SL8. I will send more photos soon.

Re: Replica Factor Ostro VAM At this point now I'd probably order a replica Factor Ostro versus an SL8 clone from TanTan lol

Hi all,
How the hell do you adjust the saddle inclination on this seat tube when the saddle does not have the hole ?
I cannot strenghthen the anterior bolt.
This kind of seatpost is the same on TanTan and Taiwaneisen and identical to SL8.
Thanks!

Here's a video on how to do it on a real SL8. Not sure if you have the same bolts.



Maybe my link won't show up. Here's what to add after youtube dot com: /watch?v=Gr57XWk4FBY&t=592s
