Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Seraph Bikes Superlight 836g X68 - Alternative to SL8 Fakes?

Finally got mine delivered 11/3 (ordered 8/21). Complete build with Ultegra, size 49 (my height is 165cm) with 380x90 bars, white, with the wavy wheels. Had to cut the seatpost and drill the two holes for the battery holder. Changed the saddle to Ryet ultimate, and the bottle cages that came with it couldn't fit a regular bottle so I replaced them with cages from another bike. Installed a k-edge computer mount and will be using assioma duos for power. Replaced the wavy wheels with yoeleos from another bike, and put the wavy wheels on that bike. So far so good! Tested a quick sprint and it felt fast. Gonna go for a proper ride in the weekend coming. Hopefully all goes well.

Edit: I'm in NYC.

Hello all! New user here, and after reading through this whole thread (took a few days!) I pulled the trigger and ordered a full build with the ultegra gruppo. Basically wanted a newish carbon road bike (have a 2021 aeroad with 650b wheels --yep small guy here lol) and also from my quick and non-exhaustive research I couldn't find another complete build with ultegra for the price that Tantan has (on a very popular frame design to boot!).

Also the plan further down the line if anything were to happen to this x68 bike frame is to move the groupset over to my ti road bike which came with 105 di2 (so it will be an upgrade if/when that happens). In any case, it's now time to play the waiting game I suppose cos I placed the order just a few days ago. Will report back when I do, and how my rides are with it. Cheers!

Tidbits: ordered a size 49, chameleon white, 165mm cranks and 380x90 bars.
