Will they build the bike for you ?

LowPaceKingdom

To be honest i dont really know.
It is my first time that i buy something from china directly.
I think they will build this bike "half way" . thats at least what i can interpretate from our communications.
They will "send photos once its completed" 25-30 workdays.

Thanks. Overall I'd say the price is right for all the specs. Not easy to get it cheaper.

Did you consider wheeltop instead of 105 di2?

Hello SRAM  ;D,

You are right :

Shitttttt, no hole for FD Di2.... Send them a message about it. It's a no-go for me, since I already have the groupset (2x11sp Di2 Ultegra).

Other option is the Speeder 55D, but it's about 350/400 usd more expensive or the Velobuild 268 that is a tiny bit heavier and seems to know some problems....

CoreX88

Hi there, I have one ordered as well. I think cables are routed the same way as on the SL8. Page 22 in the instruction manual of the SL8.

Here is a picture of a replica (not Seraph but it is maybe the same mold for all replicas).

We can see 3 holes.

yes i did even consider LTWOO,  but after all MY research i dont think there right "there". Few more years needed in MY opinion.
In Germany u get Shimano Di2 105 for around 1k euros (full Groupset shifters , disc brakes, Cranks, Etc)
WHEEL TOP EDS-TX "almost" same price

Thanks for that :) Was afraid I had to go for the more expensive option of Speeder :) And sorry was to lazy/in panic to search for myself  ::)

Hi, I'm also considering their frame. Someone already got a frame from them? I saw that some people have already ordered, but if was delivered, or everyone is waiting ?
