For info TFSA JH33 = TanTan X33 = Seraph X33 = Trifox X18

Delihea also has this frame. I like their paint scheme... The Trifox paint scheme looks cheap...

Curious as to which of the brands has the best quality and customer service. Also very curious about tire clearance as I want to do 28cs on wide wheels. I'm leaning towards TFSA as they have the nicest paint schemes IMO

You'd have to buy a really old frame to struggle fitting 28C tyres, even on wide rims, AFAIK. Assuming the frame takes full cable integration, it can probably handle 28C, i'd say.

Delihea has a few frames in-stock ready to ship, though their sizes are bit sparse:

I have a TFSA frame, and besides my slipping saddle clamp (fixed using Ryet 3D printed saddle w/thicker rails) and my slipping seat post (fixed with some tape), the frame has been very solid.

Are there any SL7 style frames with regular old 27.2 seatposts?

BXT does one, but I hear their customer service isn't very good if you run into any issues.

I have yet to encounter a truly honest and trustworthy frame seller on Aliexpress...

• The OG-Evkin MTB frame I bought developed a crack and the seller lied for 6 weeks to me about a replacement frame. They blocked me in the end so their warranty means nothing.
• The TFSA frame is nice, but there were problems with production and shipping and the seller was not really very communicative about those. I also asked them for a quote for frame only after I crashed my first frame.  They told me they would let me know, but they never got back to me. I decided to get the Hygge frame
• The Hygge frame looks great and communication with the seller was also very good, but afterwards the seller and a couple of distributors stole my pictures off this forum and used the for advertising... Hygge themselves removed them in the end but the distributors just laughed in my face and blocked me on IG

When I was researching the TFSA frame, I also communicated with Delihea about their frames, and communication was very good. They advised against a fully internal handlebar.

BXT's carbon frames are damn near as heavy as aluminum  They look good but that's a no go

Yeah they seem heavier than every other carbon frame on AliEx. Though their disc road frame is the only SL7 clone with a round seat post that I know of. It seems that only a few new gravel bikes are keeping round seat post, but most carbon road frames are now aero shaped.
