Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Ryet Ultra full carbon
« on: August 09, 2026, 04:39:41 AM »
That is a hugely helpful reply. I was contemplating buying a few a few. I ride nose down 5 degrees and my cojones might get away with it but if the saddle lacks that all important flex then its probably not worth the risk.

The Ryet’s saddle shell isn’t rock-hard, but it isn’t as compliant as the Berk’s either I’d say maybe 60–70% as flexible. The padding also feels softer, though I suspect it’s just very thin, cheap foam. On top of that, the leather finish is poor, especially around the cutout, so it’ll likely tear quickly on my unit.
Still, every ass is different, and I can easily imagine the Ryet working well for some people; it just doesn’t suit me personally, so I’m sticking with the Berk even though it costs a good four times as much 😬

Hi,
Anyone used this? Especially interested in opinion of those users who have also used the Berk Lupina. It was by far my favourite saddle for long rides including 225km. Howver, 2 breakages-following tumbles-and post brexit repair return issues are forcing a reassessment of Ryet alternatives.

I own both the original Berk which is the most comfortable saddle I’ve ever sat on and the Ryet copy. At a quick glance, they look almost identical, but a closer look and a test sit reveal the differences. The Ryet is significantly lighter but also much more poorly made, and it lacks the flex of the Berk. Plus, the Ryet is missing a subtle detail that you notice pretty quickly. I didn't want to admit it at first, but that shallow recess on the saddle nose makes a huge difference in comfort for me. I have to tilt the Ryet’s nose down much further so it doesn't press against my "cojones" 😉

My personal verdict: better suited for weight weenies or casual "ice cream ride" cyclists, but not for serious athletes 😬

What happened to your handlebars 🫣🫪

Afternoon all so who has seen new frame Tan Tan has alluded to?  look familiar  ;D  X68 replacement maybe?

Afternoon all,
So... who's seen the new frame Tan Tan have been hinting at? 👀
Am I the only one that thinks it looks very familiar?  ;D

And I even know someone who spent a huge amount of money on an original SL9 frame 🤪

Seems like crazy good value... Almost want to get it to keep it as a spare or as a winter bike. Is this the first bike we know that comes with the 14 speed sensah/sentyeh?

To the best of my knowledge, this is the first offer featuring the new Senteh 14-speed drivetrain. However, please note that you currently still need a Chinese phone number to activate the Senteh app  ::)

Tantan has just released a new frame but only available in a complete bike. Not a lot of information for now (weight, ...).

Geometry attached.

Insane price for the 14-speed Sentyeh version 👌
a poor man's SL9 Even the handlebars look familiar to me 😉😄

How can you actually order this frame? On the VoiceVelobsite they are all 0 $ and polish distributor shows no stock?

You can order the frame directly from Voice Velo, from Panda Podium, or from a supplier in Poland; any of these dealers can supply it. The stock status display is accurate and has always been that way. The only catch is that the 80mm handlebar is listed as an option for the Panda models, but it doesn't actually exist—it isn't even being manufactured.

Why did you only order the frameset when the whole bike is so cheap?

The Ultegra version costs less than $2,000 and the Dura-Ace version costs $2,800 plus $375 for shipping  ???

9
Build is complete.

Bike weighs 6.93 kg in size S.

What does size S mean in your case? 🤔
I only know the Voyager in sizes 46, 48, 51, and so on 😬
Could you tell me which size you have and how tall you are?

And if you happen to have a frame size of 51, could you please measure the length of the seat tube? I’d like to enter the data into Bike-States 😄

Thank‘s man 😊

Do you have a frame from them? How's the quality?

No, unfortunately not, but everything I’ve read about Yishun so far has been extremely positive 👍

Hi,
I’m looking for a reliable Dogma F replica frame.
Is there a recommended shop?
Has anyone ordered a frame like this and can recommend a current website?

Oh Nice, I’ll get in touch. What is the reputation of this brand? I don't know them at all, unlike the others which I had already heard of.

There’s a dedicated thread for the Voice Velo here on the forum, and I’d also take a look at the Kung Mach it makes a pretty cool impression too 👌

Hi everyone, a quick update from Italy.
Today I won a circuit race with this beautiful machine. I attacked with about 800 meters to go and managed to hold off the group until the finish.

I’m really happy with this bike — especially the handlebar, the stiffness is really impressive. In fact, I’m ordering another one to mount on my other bike.

And with deep-section wheels, it also looks absolutely stunning.


I was actually eyeing the Yellow Echo, but ever since I saw your build, I’m not so sure anymore 😄 Could you post a few more photos? That would be great 😊
Also, how happy are you with the Chaser rotors? They’re only 1.6mm thick instead of the usual 1.8mm 😬 How does the performance hold up with the Ultegra setup?
