I Bought Two Cheap Chinese Aero Frames (here's why)

The reviewer compares the TRIFOX X10 Carbon Road Bike Frame to the Elves FTH frame, noting it came in at a touch under $1,400 AUD, making it roughly $600 AUD cheaper than the Elves frame. They mention that both frames were part of a vote for a cheapest race bike build project, with the TRIFOX frame being a close contender. The reviewer highlights that the TRIFOX frame is of a lesser quality compared to the Elves frame, with divots in the top tube, dirt inclusions in the paint, and blisters. However, they also note that these issues are not severe enough to warrant returning the frame. The reviewer states that the TRIFOX frame is stiffer and has a cleaner bottom bracket area, but the head tube where the bearings sit is rough and sharp, which is a concern. Ultimately, the reviewer decides to build up the Elves frame instead of the TRIFOX frame.
