Has anyone ever ordered complete bikes from Tantan Alibaba?

[jacquesmrl]

As I was looking into road frames from Tantan (Seraph) on Alibaba, I noticed they were also selling complete road bikes, with carbon wheels, carbon handlebars and what seems to be a wheeltop electronic groupset for $1000.
Because it seems to good to be true, can anyone explain me what's the catch? Is it a scam?

(They also have complete EMTB for the price of the frame/motor.battery only)

Cheers

I did buy a fully assembled bike from a similar factory called BXT

Well I had few adjustments to do upon arrival but so far so good.

I am willing to try a full bike from TanTan too but with 105 Di2 which is more expensive. They can ship you a bike with ultegra too but the price is more on the 3000$ side.

The BXTs i've found are around $2K with mechanical 105, the Tantan are $1K with eletronic wheeltop. That price seems too good to be true lol

You need to add around 300 plus for shipping. Don't forget that peripherals aren't great and paint and some customizations are not possible.

When you sum it all you'll see that it's very likely not worth it at least I did all that investigation and can't justify that unless u like the frames and you actually fit the size and specs...
