Is there any chance of getting pictures of an assembled frame in size M (50)?

Beautiful frame. Looks very similar to the Winspace C5 Aero. However, it has minimal differences in geometry.

Can someone please enlighten me? If I want to paint the frame myself and need the visible carbon as a basis for the paint scheme, what do I order? Is UD matte the right one? Can you see the carbon here? Or do you need "raw carbon"? Unfortunately, I don't understand the differences. Is the "UD matte" selection just a transparent primer over the carbon?

The Spcycle R065 has received good reviews here in the forum and looks very similar to the Canyon Aeroad. Without handlebar the frame costs 458$. Here is the thread:

Hi Guys,
as I feel that all the frames I like can't be sent to Germany, I'm thinking of buying the SL8 clone. I'm still unsure about the size and don't know which one fits better. Is there perhaps someone here who has similar measurements? I am 173cm tall and have an inseam of 78cm.

I'm currently riding an old CAAD5 frame in 54 (see attachment). A really great frame. Unfortunately, it's too big. I feel a bit like I'm "sliding forward" on the saddle. The frame has a reach of 396, the top tube is 545, my stem is 90 and the handlebars have a reach of 70.

For the SL8 Clone I'm thinking of size 52 with a 90 / 100 stem or 49 with a longer stem. If anyone has roughly the same dimensions and gets on well with a particular setup (even with other frames), I would be happy to get some advices. 

Alternatively, I'm also considering whether the XMC CS-R01 would be better due to its more relaxed geometry. However, I am physically fit enough to ride a sporty geometry.

It's possible TFSA is an OEM for a German bike brand. That brand might have regional exclusive rights, hence TFSA doesn't ship there.


Yep, I think so too. I don't know where all these dealers are. All the frames I like cannot be delivered to Germany. Speeder, for example, doesn't deliver to Germany either - for the same reason.

I tried my luck at adapt and asked if they might sell to the end consumer after all. Maybe I'll be lucky

Nope, this was their answer. I didn’t ask for an explanation.

Yes, it is a problem with Germany. If I change the shipping country to Austria in the app, I get a shipping method and a price displayed. I don't understand it, too bad they don’t ship to Germany

Edit: I wrote them on AliX. They don’t accept orders from Germany:

I know this is an older topic. But I have a question. Does anyone happen to know how or if it is possible to order tfsa frames to Germany? The AliX store states that it is not possible to deliver to my address. Has anyone from Germany ever ordered from tfsa?
