hey guys stop posting negative news on spect i have ordered all 3 of their frames, reading all these is killing me

thanks to my 20/20 vision, riding an enve melee that takes up to 35c tires. this will be my end game road bike.

if you guys are looking for lightweight 35c tires (not BRR tested) that weights 280g, look up IRC jetty plus 35c. They roll ridiculously well I was even dropping people right and left on viaducts and climbs.

Where on earth can I find the Incolor Voyager for 7500 RMB? 🤔
No matter where I look as a European, I can't find it for less than 1600 USD. 🙁

my bad it's 7800 rmb. i guess that was the early release price on TB when i saw it a month or so back

Here are a few pictures of my frame. Like I mentioned before, the quality is excellent and the attention to detail is everywhere. The Incolor branding appears on all the bolts, the headset cap and spacers, the thru-axles, and the seatpost clamp, details you don’t even see on many higher-end brands.

At least in my opinion, this is when you can tell they really care about producing a quality product.

As far as I can tell, the paint is perfect and all the surfaces are properly faced.

we should not compare Incolor with the likes or tantan, longteng and the other small factories in guangzhou. Incolor is in the same league with Seka, Evolve and quickpro etc.. just look at their packaging. here's a built video of the frame. such quality for 7800 rmb (inclusive of bar stem) is a steal, the 45mm tire clearance should not even be a drawback, Specialized Daddy Merida put out a "race gravel bike" recently that only clears 40mm tires and got the shills on youtube to change the narrative" oh yeah you don't really need those MTB tires, this is a RACE GRAVEL BIKE!"

lol! Are you trolling, what happened? pics of your frame posted on this thread have certainly driven a lot of sales for F-C Carbon / MK ultra?

there were people who immediately noticed my color scheme was not part of factor's offering, so i had to lie to them that I ordered it through prisma studio, then they gave me a "oh yeah i see" kinda look. screw these idiots why can't they go about their own lives?

Anyway Serge, I now ride an authentic enve melee and authentic scott addict gravel with fake handlebars (because no one will call them out, right?).

I also actively call out fake frames in group rides and shame them publicly and feel very good about myself afterwards.

Received my 5 Meroca tpu tubes today, orange, 80mm valve, paid 2,39 per piece, 28g. Will try them tomorrow.

how did it worked out for you? the orange meroca tpu tubes were the best i ever had, almost zero pressure lost in 1 week.

Nope I don't get paid. And I don't offer nor accept any sort of upfront "flat fee" from brands either. Never have thus far. TanTan like most frame brands I've dealt with doesn't offer affiliate links either. So really the only gross income I make is maybe the $15-$20 USD from YouTube ad revenue, and whatever the frameset is worth down the line when reselling - which is practically worthless on the second hand market. So I have a closet filled with old cheap framesets that nobody wants.

For myself I just love building new bikes. It's a fantastic therapeutic hobby. Doesn't matter whether if it's a $4000 frame or $400. Bikes are just fascinating to me. I have zero attachment or feelings to any particular brand. My passion is the main reason brands even deal with me. That and my engagement with viewers. Because statistically my YouTube/IG is very low level compared to the Hambinis/GC Performances/Peak Torques of the industry. However, the $300 I make monthly from YouTube isn't exactly enough to reinvest into constantly buying new frames/wheels from a completely unbiased perspective. Even if I raised capital via GoFundMe or Patreon to fund new projects, someone will always make a stink about. Not to mention the hours upon hours of my time each week.

Sure other YouTubers are probably making loads of money. I am not one of them. This whole thing is truly a labor of love. So until someone provides a financial solution that doesn't put me in the red according to my accountant for the past 5 fiscal years, influencing helps subsidized an already expensive hobby. I earn no net income. Watch my videos or don't. Either way it costs me money in the end.

patrick you probably already knew this but you are my favorite BBC (Bike Builder & Commentator) on the internet. I will not describe in full details what i do to myself while watching your videos.

1. can you setup alipay?
2. can you do your own forward shipping to china to korea?

if your answer is yes to these 2 question. you can get them at even cheaper prices from taobao or goofish (chinese ebay), plus your taxes are based on what you declared

to answer your question, they are legit and will come without retail boxes. normally for a full groupset they pack it in a 30x30x30cm box with many chinese newspaper inside.
