From the vendor reply:

SC-R55D frame + fork + seatpost: US$665/set
SC-RH02 integrated road handlebar: US$150/pcs
NO.55R Headset: US$30/set
Thru axles: US$20/set
Shipping cost: US$120

The current lead times are 2~3 months.



Their SC-R55D even more interesting. Can take tire size up to 700x32.

Component Deals & Selection / Chinese tires: ChaoYang H-486 Cobra

Doesn't seems to be a popular topic here to discussed chinese tires.

I've been a happy user for ChaoYang Cobra H-486 clincher tires. I've ridden the 700x25 and x28 as well.
Their performance seems to be on par with the name brand. The price, should I say its very chinese. $19usd a pop.

Want to hear other H486 users out there and perhaps other Chinese tire brand too.

Are you still running promotion and discount?

Again I'm just looking for a Chinese friendly local mechanic(s). Not interested in investing time/skills/tools/money into wrenching modern bike.

Greetings... this is probably a long shot. I'm located in San Jose, California. LBS here does not feel comfortable working on any direct chinese frame/components/gears. Looking for local mechanics that's ok with working on buildup/maintain chinese gears? Thanks.

Yeah I think the wheelset and the crankset are boat anchor! I prob swap them out with something lighter.


Looks good for the price if one needs an entry level, almost 10Kg / 22lb road bike.

From the pic, the front prob can take 700x30 or 28. The rear I'm not sure, if can squeeze in 700x28 that's prob acceptable.
