Hello, Chintertown!

This is my first time on this forum. I found it after doing some research on a gravel frame that I purchased on AliExpress—SODCE R3. Although I didn't check pages on Reddit, this forum was the only one I found that briefly discussed this frame. I understand this thread is from last year, so I quickly wanted to share a surface-level review of my new SODCE frameset that I uploaded to YouTube. I hope this information is helpful for anyone interested in purchasing the same frameset.

I would like to note the following: The SODCE frameset comes with a "special" seatpost, which is made of aluminum, and according to the company is special to the frame. I didn't know this until the frameset arrived. However, after messaging them through AliExpress, I learned that they in fact do know of another manufacturer that has a mold and can produce a carbon version of their seatpost. I am currently waiting to hear back from them with a quote, and I will update this post soon.

Here's the video I mentioned: https://youtu.be/Pec_pjWpQ8E?si=qreRpmOquxVNTOgc

Thank you.
