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

Hi!

I loved the look of a 1x but a 2x is just more versatile.
It is a 2x chainring setup.

Did you build it? Really curious to the end result.
I'm sorry haven't been on the forum for a long time, but yes i've build it.

Total build weight, including pedals, Wahoo mount and bottle cage came to 6.8KG!

Received my frameset yesterday.

Started today with my custom “wink” decals, will coat the bike for a satin shine and protection.
Hopefully i’ll have it assembled by the end of next week.

Btw: anyone used the Chaser hanger? Seems like the size of it is completely different to the hanger that comes with the frame?

Maybe a little bit of a dumb question, but which BS68 bottom bracket do you need?

I'm going to be using the Magene TEO 29mm DUB crankset, so i'm ordering a SRAM DUB BB.
I see there's different options like 44m or 47mm?

Second question:

Which exact size headset bearings do you need?
I probably want to install a decent brand headset bearings upon first installation, hoping those might have a longer lifespan.

Cheers.

Does anybody know if there are 0 offset seatposts available for the X68?
As fas as i’ve read the original SL8 seatposts don’t fit in the TanTan.
This means that all aftermarket SL8 seatposts wouldn’t fit the X68, did anybody find one that does fit?

Nope, not a TanTan.
It was indeed a SL8 replica, which i only considered because it was ready to ship.
Decided i’ll just wait for CNY to pass, will not have my frameset before April🥲.

I hope that spindle in this crankset is made of steel not aluminium. When it arrived I will check it.

The seller assured me in the messages that the axle was steel, not aluminum. We'll see...

Great, did you get the DUB or 24mm spindle?

Not clean when I compare to this RK's frame.

When comparing i can see the difference indeed.
Does this mean it’s bad quality?

I’ve added a couple more videos.

I don’t know if this is the right place to ask…
But i’ve got one frame on option, which the seller is willing to ship out tomorrow.
Otherwise i’d have to wait until after CNY, which means it will be at least a month later.

I’ve got this shot of the inside, how does this look?
I don’t know what this almost chinese text looking like material is on the right side?

Thanks anways😊

I've just taken a look inside my Fauxstro frame* with a torch - unfortunately I don't have an endoscope thing to take any pictures.

However, it's evidently quite a lot neater inside than @insanetrees. None of the fraying round the bolt inserts in the BB shell.

Perhaps most interestingly is that the seat tube is internally capped above the wheel cut out. So in this frame, there would be no way for the seatpost to impact the wheel cut out (unless I landed on it with such force it punched through the cap).

*From Yohobikes who don't have a great rep on this thread so  ???

You think you could snap a few pictures as far as possible?

Chaser discs, hanger, lockrings, adapters, pulley wheels, derailleur bolt...
Ultegra 12 speed
Dura ace 11-34 cassette
Ultegra chain and chainrings

Assioma duo powermeter pedals
Ryet saddle

Build weight 6,7 kg as pictured in a size 58

i've only ridden indoors, still need to finetune some things but looks and feels promissing
I wanted to see how it would look with the sworks logos in the same colors as the Chaser parts, so thats the chat gtp picture. Probably going to order a set on Speedydecals :p

Looks good to me!

Anyway you could share links of products you've used and bought which are not from well known brands?
