BIGROCK Sohtea. The "Chinese Aethos"? Half a year later...

The reviewer has extensive experience with the Bigrock Sohtea Superlight Carbon Road Bike Frameset, having built three bikes and ridden thousands of kilometers. He describes it as a traditional climbing bike with excellent stiffness, lightweight construction, and versatile build options. He particularly praises the team edition's 680g weight and overall build quality.

Pros

Very lightweight (team edition: 680g with paint and accessories, regular edition: ~780g)
Excellent stiffness, especially when out of the saddle
Traditional design with round tube profiles and 27.2mm seatpost allows versatile builds

Cons

Not aerodynamic (noticeable lack of aero at speeds above 30-40km/h)
Descending performance is average (not the best, not the worst)
Smaller sizes have toe overlap (common with 700c wheels on small frames)

Key Points

Frame weight: Team edition 680g (XS size), regular edition ~780g (XS)
Price: Regular edition under $1,200, team edition around $1,700
