New frame 2025 : TFSA JH-35

The TFSA JH-35 is a lightweight climbing-oriented road frame from Chinese brand TFSA, priced around €867-€1243 depending on warehouse. It features a round tube shape, 27.2mm round seatpost, and a built-in camera/light mount on the seatpost. Weight is approximately 680g. Tire clearance is officially 30mm, but some users report fitting 32mm. The frame is compared to the SP-R088 but with less aero shaping and a standard seatpost.
