Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Eurobike 2025 - starts on Wed. - What are you looking forward to?
« on: June 30, 2025, 01:57:52 PM »
From my point of view on Eurobike , Seka and evolve are way above the rest of the chinese companies. Evolve needs to prove itself but their technology is in line with Seka. I've had a couple of mayor brand frames also some smaller ones, Seka is one of the best frames i've ever had. I've been talking for a couple of weeks with the people behind evolve also, and i think after their engineering process it will be a good frame too. Their prices will be affordable for frames of that kind of quality.

Finished the build a couple of days ago.
First impressions after some rides is great.

Specs:
- Seka Spear Rdc Chronos Frame
- Yuan an carbon fiber wheelset 40mm , carbon spokes , ceramic bearing ratchet hub
- Shimano 105 Di2 groupset
- Walgun ceramic BB
- Pro Stealth Saddle


might upgrade the crankset later to a Dura Ace or carbon chinese one after bikefit.

Have it now for over a year , you can't expect to be competitive to Shimano or SRAM for this price but it's just garbage.
 I can only use it in summer because when it's below 12 degrees or raining it stops working. Through the app it still works but shifter compared to derailleurs don't do anything.
When i am home , after 5 minutes inside, he works again.
No big loss for the price you pay, but i would not do it again. Just buy some mechanical Shimano instead of the price.

i am from BE and rideing the er9 groupset, I payed an extra 30€ on tax. They put the price lower without asking them .

But what I read about racing it in kermesse ... I don't know but if you pay 400€ you really can't compare it to shimano or sram. the groupset is okay but not more than that. I wouldn't recommend it to people who really want quality. I was riding this weekend in bad weather and the shifting reactions where just bad. Sometimes you just have to shift like 10 times before the RD reacts to it.

What was the issue?

By the way, ER9 should be around 360$ for 11.11 xD

I think i did it the wrong way , in the video they say to push the RD for 5 seconds but in practice it was much shorter.
Yes I know it will probably be this price :) , but anyway I am happy with the buying it for 410 and 30€ customs  :D

Hello, I received my groupset today. First impressions are really good. I bought the Er9 and for the price i've paid its more then i expected from the outside. After some tests everything seemed to work. I've paired the RD and FD with the app and all works good and fine.
But the problem I have is to compare my shifters with the derailleurs.
The shifters turn green when i push the inside button. I've tried everything from the installation video with the 4 and 5 sec push but it seems i can't find it to compare them. It's not that the shifters dont work cause the light flashes green.
Hopefully someone can help or explain me if i'm doing something wrong or maybe if there is anyway a problem with the shifters? I think its the shifters because the derailleurs working fine with the app.
Thanks!


I have found the issue and for now everything works great , now I have to wait for my frame and wheelset to arrive to finish the build!  :)

where are you located? for france, AE is showing 610 + 67eur shipping fees, on the 80s Designer Store.

Don't understand how you guys are getting it for 400Eur ich

It was 557 but with coupons and promo codes I had the discount to 412€. I ordered a lot from AE and never payed taxes so we will see if I have to pay extra tax if it arrives but probably not. I’m located in belgium

This is it , I will build the new elves frame this winter.
The frame looks really great and their Europe support is good.
Just thinking if I should try the ltwoo or stick with the common brands.

When looking for custom steel bikes for me feather cycles is one of the best . Also jaegher is building Nice bikes. I’m thinking of a standert as second bike but i also like the vintage Merckx and colnago. .

The S-works SL7 frames are TFSA Jh-33 frames painted..
I think you have to look closer, they're copy's but they're not the same like they just paint them...

You ordered via the website or on Aliexpress ? If I order from them I would do it via Aliexpress even if its 10% more + VAT I think it's safer
I ordered directly from them , not from Aliexpress

I spoke to the yohobike guy on aliexpress (Rocking Cycling Bike Store is his store) he confirmed 30-45 days for production + shipping since they have new years holidays in like 10 days. I asked for a 59,5cm and they have one in orange in stock, in their "48h shipping" tab

I'm waiting on a frame but they're not correct in delivery terms, i ordered end of november ,normally delivery was for half of january but its already end of february now . normally its shipped because i can see there is a label created. First they are very correct but after you have payed its al a little bit weird in there communication. I hope they will deliver.
