Last question! Any reason to not get 5mm spokes other than a marginal loss of stiffness?

I was torn between the 5mm and the narrower ones, same cost same weight. The conclusion I came to is they look "cool" so ordered them.

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

Hi,
I have read back through the thread but cannot immdeiately see that any buyers have set up a 1x groupsent on the frame. Ideally, i would be using the antiipated Force 1x13 XPLR due to be announed shortly. Though that probably means UDH.
cheers
Bob

Tan Tan have just release a new frame looks similar to the X68
Has UDH
The X70 $469usd

Then you must have overlooked my built (page 52 and 58). I built it with Wheeltop shifting and Ekar cassette, which makes 1-by 13-speed systes possible without needing UDH and at a much lower pricepoint (which might change when 13-speed force is available).

The SP-R088 is an alternative with UDH. We have both frames "in the family". Both are nice and light.

just another (ICAN/Triaero Flyee) build post! Just wanted to share the Flyee build I did for a friend over the weekend to replace her old CAAD10 from 2014. I had so much fun riding mine that I recommended the frame to her as well. ICAN did the green paint job for no extra charge and shipped it out less than two weeks after I placed the order. I was quite happy with their quality :)

build specs:
Frameset: 50cm Flyee - 860g frame, 320g fork (after cutting)
Groupset: Ultegra R8070/R8050
Bartstem: Avian Falcon 360x110 - 281g
Crankset: Elilee X310 w/Stone chainrings
Chain: SUMC (as seen on Trace Velo bike)
Wheels: 9Velo carbon spoke 45mm depth
Tires: GP5000 S TR, 700x30c

Full weight of the bike with everything except pedals was 14.8lbs. The total cost was about $3600 but that does not include the 9Velo wheelset which I bought maybe a year and half ago for $1200.   

I'm in the US and the tariff situation was a little confusing. ICAN declared the value at 200USD so I thought the 30% tariff would be $60 but for some reason it was $95 plus a $17 brokerage fee from UPS so the total paid for the frame + import was 1211USD -- more than expected but not the worst. I ordered the frame on May 12 and received it on May 29.
