Does anyone have any information about the new Rufon frameset? It's just a rendering so far, but it looks awesome.

Looks like a Factor One copy.

No UDH according to the rendering

If only, it might actually have an interesting geometry then. Also the "rendering" and "real life" photos are AI garbage

I would definately buy it if it had 10 mm more reach and wheelbase at the bigger sizes and 74 or 75 degree SA on the L or XL. Optionally 75 mm BB drop or even 77

For S5/Scott Foil type of frames, the STA is actually steeper than what the geometry chart shows. Refer to the comment here. https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,7516.msg117651.html#msg117651

Those "renders" are hilariously bad - the model and the instagram post don't even appear to match. The model has an integrated riser bar, while the bike from the post has a regular one piece cockpit. The model looks cool, but the fact that they willingly post AI slop without even bothering to check for 2 seconds whether that picture even appears to be the same bike, does not inspire a lot of confidence.

I do like the look of it in the model, but I would be wary of it.

Hi Is there any real image of the frame even if it is a prototype?


Dark17

Looks different from the renders. Is that really the actual bike?
