So this thread started with a very satisfied customer and ended with an horror story.

Where is the truth with these frames, are there different sellers who sells different products or are all the sl8 replicas total garbage frames?

Just found out a buddy of mine coincidentally just got a 52CM S-works so when time permits i shall perform a test ride on his and i'll have him jump on mine for an honest review.
