Loads of info in the Seka white paper Bars are advertised at 310g The blue frame and the silver frame are the basic slightly heavier frame. The silver and black frame is called chronos and is the high end RDC frame, in shadow black advertised at 730g from memory
This solution seems much nicer that the Trek hole, who knows if they do actually increase the performance in real riding conditions. But these frames look nice
I'd love to hear about the ride comfort, nimbleness, stiff and aero comparison to the SL8. As far as Chinese frames, this appears to be up there on paper against western brands. Any possibility you can get hands on and compare to your SWorks SL8?
7:55 Weird that the old Sram Force is being spec'd on this bike. If I didn't already have a Tarmac SL7 I'd consider getting a Seka (but not with the old sram force)
What's the price of the left one with zipp wheel ? And the weight please because 7.75kg with aluminium wheel is amaizing. Juste one thing i don't understen is why you put an "old" sram force"
Surely, all brands will start to copy the same design... Most of good looking Asian made frames are designed by "Western" designers anyway... This frame has more "relaxed" geometry, top tube is not horizontal more like endurance...
I really wanted to buy one of these I think they look great, but I'm massively put off by the price, £2600 for the rdc (granted includes bars), for me its about £500 too expensive for a relatively unknown brand. I'm genuinely gutted as I'm planning on building up a new bike and it just makes more sense to buy a reduced price big brand frame
It’s a tough one isn’t it. I can see why they want to be competitive with the top brands but yes, it does make it harder to spend more on something yet untrusted
For me that’s part of the draw. At the next race or Fondo, you are going to see dozens of Treks, Specializeds, Cannondales, etc. Nobody will be riding a Seka except you. Guaranteed people will ask you about it too
@@Lockeness86 Yep totally agree, I have a canyon ultimate that I'm selling to fund my next purchase, its just a bit boring. If the Spear was a few hundred less it would be a no brainer, but when you can get a 2024 giant propel pro 0 frame for about £450 less than the spear, and that's factoring in buying a stem and Enve aero bars as well, as much as I want a spear I'm leaning more to the Giant at the moment
I can look at pictures all day. People need to start doing real world, ride reviews, and comparisons for this bike.
Hopefully soon! I think you will start to see some feb/ march time.
Paint schemes and frame details are attractive. Good video.

my bad the silver is also an RDC frame

If u make a video about a bike it would be good to check AT LEAST basic info. About handlebars, computer mount or bottom bracket etc.
I did get the bottom bracket wrong. Thanks for pointing it out. I have put it in the description.
Dude! Do your homework before doing a video.

There are some talks of this maybe happening in January. Obviously 2 month away so the answer may not come soon. But be on the look out at that time!

That’s fair enough. I think it may have been what they had lying around to build it up.

They didn’t have the price tag in when I was there so I am not quite sure. I believe it is built up more as an example as it’s fully customisable.
I don't understand why the brands who design for "aero" and "compliance" don't simply remove the seatstay altogether.
Not UCI legal
@jameseastwood402 so what? The racers are using different bikes anyway.
@@galenkehler they do but it's still a big selling point. Maybe we'll see more non-uci legal frames in the future
Can someone give me real frame weights for the blue frame?

They do have race geometry versions. You can buy a size MR or a LR where they have lengthened the top tube and lowered the stack.

In this day and age, it's unfathomable that SEKA didn't do any research on the name "RAPIER" before deciding on it
Rapier? I think it’s a good name. Like the sword. Please can you explain what you don’t like about it?
@@cyclingunboxedin this day and age, it’s unfathomable that a native English speaker doesn’t know what rapier means 😂😂😂
Gerat bike but poorly written video
Tons of wrong infos …
Have my correction captions not come up? Whenever I watch the video back on my account it comes up automatically
