Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Has anyone ever ordered complete bikes from Tantan Alibaba?

The BXTs i've found are around $2K with mechanical 105, the Tantan are $1K with eletronic wheeltop. That price seems too good to be true lol

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Has anyone ever ordered complete bikes from Tantan Alibaba?
« on: November 02, 2024, 03:49:39 PM »
As I was looking into road frames from Tantan (Seraph) on Alibaba, I noticed they were also selling complete road bikes, with carbon wheels, carbon handlebars and what seems to be a wheeltop electronic groupset for $1000.
Because it seems to good to be true, can anyone explain me what's the catch? Is it a scam?

(They also have complete EMTB for the price of the frame/motor.battery only)

Cheers

29er / Enduro build weight and price
« on: August 24, 2024, 01:12:03 PM »
Hi all,

Looking to build my self an enduro bike and seeking for inspiration / advice.
I currently ride a downcountry bike but i'm mostly like to ride downhill, so looking for something significally bigger but not too heavy. Ideally something around 160mm of travel for 14kg (or lighter of course). And what are the cost of your build? I know it depends a lot on what you use but i would still give me a rough idea

Also, from what i've seen the main brands that people use for enduro are Lightcarbon, Carbonda and Ican, are all three of these good quality and safe? Other brand to recommend?

So yeah, let me know what's your enduro weight and price, and any piece of gear that you've find very good or any advice for building up an enduro bike.

Thanks!
