Yes, it's becoming very common, especially in the gravel category. I think the new Specialized Diverge even has it in the aluminum version.

There are multiple versions of this frame - the ones that include a seatpost and handlebars are more expensive. The cheapest version is the frameset only. Pretty sure it's this listing:

Thank you. The link unfortunately doesn't display properly for me, but I will be paying more attention to frame only ads.

Also, note that the prices on Aliexpress include VAT which will be deducted once you go through with the order in your cart. The price displayed for this offer was 460 EUR, but once I went through with the payment it was 382 EUR.
I then specifically asked the seller for a quote for shipping costs, which I always do. The price for "seller's shipping method" you see in the shipping options is not always accurate. So I paid roughly 50EUR for tax free shipping on top (I think it was 52 USD).

Thank you. That's all good advice. Appreciate it.

Yeah i was looking at the same frame, so I know how much it usually costs. The cheapest offer I can find right now in the official Aliex store is 599 eur and 119 eur for Shipping to France. That's why I asked how you found such a good deal.

Hey, where did you find this frame for that price? Looking forward to seeing the build.

Who is the reseller in France for Elitewheels if you don't mind me asking?
