Re: Winspace M6
Quote from: patliean1 on March 11, 2026, 08:45:49 AM
Winspace positions the M6 as their 3rd-tier frameset. You would think this was their new flagship bike based on the amount of money and energy they've put into the marketing rollout and press release.

Smart move by pricing it $1499. Basically undercutting everyone including themselves. And the geometry is closer to the original T1500. I don't just understand the 3rd-tier aspect.

Winspace got high on their own stuff after first mover success and started asking crazy high prices for their products. Seems like literally created a new product to undercut themselves in order to stay competitive to up and coming chinese brands.

Is Yoho still the best store to buy these in?

I've ordered a frame a couple of weeks ago, should arrive beginning of May I think.
I'll keep you posted.

There were sl8 clone forks that exploded under riders a few months ago.

Would you have links or more details about theses cases?

The X68 IS a COUNTERFEIT frame. They don't put S-Works logos on which puts them in the darker shades of grey instead of dark counterfeit. Their frames/forks aren't manufactured by TanTan I think. At least I've got two X68 frames which are quite different in terms of quality.
Sorry but...You really don't know anything about law!
 ::)There is an important difference between:

a counterfeit → a copy intended to pass off as the genuine brand; Misuse of a trademark
For example, a frame bearing the Trek or Specialized logo when it was never manufactured by that brand.

A near-identical copy of a protected design
This can involve:
the frame design,
certain specific shapes,
patented elements,
characteristic decorations or colors.

an “open mold” → a generic frame legally manufactured without a copied brand. An open mold frame is not necessarily illegal as long as it does not reproduce

in this case, Specialized does not register the frame shape or even its name (SL8). only the logos specialized, S...and trademarks "sworks" "sworks tarmac sl8, roubaix, and so on are registered and can only be used and reproduced with the brand's permission. Therefore, the frame Tantan is not a counterfeit, simply because it only reproduces a form of frame that is not registered.

Re: Replica Factor Ostro VAM Received te frame from yohobike, took about 1 month after first payment, 660eur total with payment directly to them. Frame looks well made, smooth finish inside unlike my venge from 2020, which Is still ride.

Frame is a 56 and weighs 1139 grams with all screws and derailleurhanger attached + di2 battery holder.  Fork 505 grams with two screws attached, seatpost 198 grams and handlebar 38mm 90mm weighs 349 grams.

Now waiting for bb tool to install it. Installed a wheel to see if it's symmetrical, seems good.  8)

Re: Spect Strada i think we can confidently advise anyone to stay away from these frames.

Re: XMCS - 2026 VRT Not sure if it was the bike, the tires or the wheels,
Or just going narrow width of the hb (or the ospw 😉), but it certainly wasn’t me.

Anyway 35 km/h+ average with 207 watts is not something I have seen before on any of my other bikes, including my Aeroad.

How do you know for sure? Maybe they're just enjoying holiday ;D

When you are offline for over 1 month, it's never a good news. I don't think Chinese people have 4 consecutive weeks of holiday lol.
