Lmaooooo, this is just a Titici Alfa, literally the exact same bike
I think this one was actually presented earlier, IMO Titici is using the same frame.
The Sava climbing frames also seem solid, the revamped version of the Dreammaker (2.0, if you will) that Joe from Panda Podium showed in his YT video of the last Shanghai bikeshow is still not on the market.

So is the frame quality actually as good as Hambini says?
I'm also curious about the weight of the overall bikes that people on this forum were able to reach.

Quote a few legit Chinese sellers/brands have their warehouses in Europe. Vector optics (not cycling related), iCan, Elitewheels, Light Bicycle come to mind
Yes, but that specific Spanish shop is also selling tons of fake frames. Had a Elilee Blize XXE frame for the price of a regular Bigrock Sothea in his sortiment and when I pressed him on the subject he admitted that it was a "replica" and tried to sell me an SL8 copy instead. I'd avoid that one. The guy is shady, avoid buying from him.

I built up an Onirii One about a year ago (regular ONE not the ONE Pro). I thought it was actually pretty good. Once it was built I definitely had some fun riding it. I had a lot of questions and their customer support was very helpful with answering them all. That being said, later we ran into an issue over them mislabeling their barstems and sending the wrong size and it got a bit annoying from there. That whole debacle was pretty frustrating at the time but I did end of with a (free) second barstem so it wasn't the worst (paypal refunded me because onirii refused to admit their mistake). I would hope. a year later, they have that sorted out. Their bikes do tend to have tiny headtubes so look out for that. My beef with their aero bike is that you probably either have to ride with pretty extreme saddle-to-bar drop or you have to add a bunch of headset spacers, negating the cool, aero cockpit situation.
With the bar pointing upwards like the top tube the drop might be a bit less extreme than would expect but yeah, it looks like one of those Chinese frames with an absurdly low stack...

Elves is making bikes for the TikTok generation lol
When these kids come of age they are gonna ride colorful Elves bikes with abnormal designs with no nostalgic feel to the frame designs etc.

There is a market for what Elves is trying to do. That's what really matters these days. Know, make and sell to your target market.

I totally agree, it's just that they only would have needed to make minimal modifications (front wheel closer to the downtube, super deep steering tube and deeper, more U-shaped fork) to make their previous aerobike legit good. But yeah, they are clearly a style over substance brand who sell stuff via their nice looking paintjobs and the Tolkien "inspired" names (how they still haven't gotten in legal trouble for it at least in the UK is surprising to me).

99% sure that Pro is just a R088 with different paint and 150% markup
Yeah, their claimed weight is a bit higher that Spcycle for a bare frame (without their paint job), but otherwise they look identical.
The Flash looks like a fully integrated version of the 2018/2019 Look 795 Blade RS with a China-style lower stack (15mm) and an overall slightly different geometry, but IMO clearly inspired by that bike and their aerobike is clearly inspired by the S5.

I wouldn't buy a frameset, but their costum painted fully built bikes that they are selling via Aliexpress seem decent value for money, the Ultegra version bundle also includes their lightweight look-style pedals, a helmet + an aero bottle.

If someone wants to order a fully built Chinese bike they are probably not the worst option.
Their aero bike looks pretty sharp and fast to me (well, it's an S5 clone...)

Hello,
I've been lurking here for some time, has anyone here had any experience with the Onirii One Pro or the Onirii Flash?

The Onirii Flash:

The Flash has a billed weight of 798g, the One Pro of 850g (unpainted and without alu parts in a size M.
I know that Onirii are a brand mainly known for their light pedals and other acessories, but now they have moved into bike fames (they are also selling those 2 bikes fully built via Aliexpress). They also have their own wheels and an S5 style aero bike, the bike frames are probably some random OEM (some here have said that the One Pro looks like the Spcycle 088)
Has anyone here had more experience with Onirii frames in general and especially with the 2 that I've mentioned?

Looks like a really bad mash-up between the new Colnago and the Madone rear hole.
I kinda liked the previous Falath Evo, had they just reduced the distance between the wheels and the frame a bit more and gotten the weight down a bit it would have been a fine aero bike. Then again, Elves sales are imo mostly carried by their fancy paintjobs.
