Blog Review from cyclistshub.comabout 1 month ago
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.
