Why I’m Torn After Testing this $2800 Chinese Frame, and What I Think It's Missing

cyclistshub.com

The reviewer tested the Winspace SLC5 frame and found it to be one of the best Chinese frames available, built with premium materials and wind-tunnel tested for aerodynamics. However, they note it is less stiff than expected compared to the T1600, feels marginally slower on flats, and had several issues during the build process that affected their overall impression.

AI Summary

Pros

Made of T800, T1100, and military-grade carbon (M46, M65)

Nice paint job
Can accommodate up to 32 mm tires

Cons

Frameset doesn't include a handlebar ($399 extra)
Routing the brake hose through the fork is difficult due to the current fork design

Problems with different diameters on the left and right sides of the HYPER cockpit
Seatpost design does not allow adjustment of the front bolt if the saddle does not have a cutout

Greater price depreciation since Winspace is a Chinese brand
Less stiff than the T1600
Feels marginally slower on flats
