New Seraph frame TT-X70 looks the same as the SPcycle R088, but the first impression is that it is a bit heavier.

Weight TT-x70 size 52: 870.2 grams

Weight R088 size 58: 858.5 grams

Has anyone had experience with both manufacturers or knows what the difference might be between the two frames in terms of carbon layup?

Would be interesting to see a comparison between X68 and X70

In-frame storage part of those plans?

Sounds like a danger for rattle noise!!

+1!
We want something aero, with a higher stack (like the Pinarello X).

Or like the new factor monza :) UDH, high stack, 34c tires

I've been riding this bike for about a year now. It's good enough to place in the top 20 in a gravel world series with the elites, so I guess it gets the job done.  8)
I chose the frame mainly for the specs – it was, and still is, the best performing race gravel bike in China. It's lightweight, made with T1000 carbon, and features modern components like the T47 bottom bracket and UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger). There might be more modern-looking bikes out there, but I doubt they're any faster. I love the lack of unnecessary bolts almost every gravel frames seem to have. Only a minority uses fork bolts and they just make the frame heavy.

As I mentioned earlier, the bike rides like a road bike. The bottom bracket stiffness feels on par with my road bike when I use road wheels and it smoothens the terrain when needed. For comparison, my Tideace winter gravel bike is unforgiving on every bump. With a 73-degree steering angle, the bike is also very agile and great at cornering.

Regarding the cockpit: Last year, I used it with the Ritchey Logic-E 1.5" Integrated IS headset solution to run a regular stem. Due to the high stack of this headset, I needed a -17-degree stem. This winter, I've installed a Roval cockpit and printed a custom spacer to make it compatible with the ACR headset top cap. I haven't had a chance to ride it yet, but I'm excited to see how it performs.

Concerning paintjobs: we all have our own taste, I just wanted to demonstrate carbonda has some paintjob knowledge inhouse and easily accomodates to your desires. They delivered exactely what I wanted.

Hi, do you have a design for the printed custom spacer or do you know where i can get one? thanks.

Hi Chris, you also planning on doing a race / road frame for 2025?
