seraph ttr18

A user in r/ChineseCarbon shared their experience building and riding the TanTan TT-R18 (also referred to as Seraph TT-R18), a Chinese carbon road bike. They purchased it as a complete set for €1300, including shipping and customs to Germany, and found it comparable to bikes costing over €3500. The bike was praised for its value, ease of assembly, and performance, though some minor build quality aspects were noted. Comments highlighted its unbeatable price-to-performance ratio, but also mentioned it's not UCI-approved for competitive racing.
