Seraph aka Tantan TT-X2
« on: October 11, 2021, 11:34:57 AM »
Was browsing Aliexpress for Chinese carbon frames after watching a couple of tracevelo YouTube videos and ended up buying this frame from Seraph.  Ordered on 14th September, for £201. Arrived 8th of October.  Seller was good, communicated well (occasionally took 2 days to reply) and on first looks v happy with the quality. Built it up with 105 groupset and took it on a short test ride yesterday. Rode really nicely, a huge upgrade from my old raleigh 100. V satisfied.

I ordered a frame and wheel set from Velobuild on Dec 15th and it arrived at my house in the UK on January 4th. I think it would have been even quicker if it hadn't arrived at the Parcelforce sorting depot on New Years Eve and then sat there for 4 days over the weekend/bank holiday. I was pleasantly surprised by how quick it was, having read various stories of EMS whipping taking up to 3 months!
