This model is trying to compete with the S-works SL8 frame, was tested in a wind tunnel, comes with handlebars, and a choice of offset with the seat post for $3,000 USD. An s-works frame is $5,500 USD without handlebars and the Roval Rapide handlebars are $600. Even if you go with a more "budget" integrated carbon bar, that's still going to cost around $300-$450 USD. I'd say this bike is very comparable.

@@_gregvalencia you make valid points, but also, the western brands have always claimed the cost of their bikes is also increased because of pro team sponsorships, dealer markups, marketing costs etc things the far east brands don’t spend as much on if at all. I’m not exactly going to order a frame from Asia risking long shipping times, questionable after sales support etc, for competitive pricing, i want affordable, maybe even cheap.

I think the value is that you're getting an s-works level frame with handlebars for $500 cheaper than the specialized pro level frame without handlebars. And the roval Rapide handlebars are $600.

Great looks and apparently very good quality with these frames. The cost is way too high for a company without any domestic support. These frames are hard to get in the US and the company seems to have little interest in selling here. Waits are on the order of months to get one and who knows what will happen if you need support in a year or two. A complete build with this frame will likely cost more than a Canyon Aeroad or Ultimate, about the same as a TCR or Propel and slightly less than an SL8 or Super Six. It makes no sense. IMO, if this brand wants to succeed in the US it needs to be both significantly cheaper than Canyon and significantly better and this isn't. To me, the Winspace or Tavelo options make a lot more sense if you want to go Chinese direct.

Given that almost all bikes frames are made in China/Taiwan, what we pay for is partly QC controls, partly R&D, and a whole lot of marketing fluff. With no ability to tell romantic stories of its history with black and white pictures, no presence in popular professional races, no hotshots riding their bikes, and having the significant advantage of cheap domestic labour, it looks like the company is banking on popular YT channels to push its bikes in the west and justify its prices. I bet a lot of R&D went into this very pretty Spear and that it's very well built. At this price, however, I want to be told that the founder was a poor farmer in the 1920s who got tired of transporting his crops with his rickety old bicycle, and decided to build something faster, and that after he built his own faster bike, started to sell them to all the surrounding farmers, who later started local races in the countryside, developing SEKA into what it is today, being ridden by China's best in (insert pro race name). Without that, not even a channel as great as GCP will sway me in paying that much for a Chinese bike. Anyone wanna make bets on how long SEKA will take to steal my fairytale for use as its own?

Hi GC performance Gorgeous looking frame set. The frame weight was a big surprise for the price 😮 ultegra 12 speed di2 group set with some sub 1300 gram carbon wheels to match the frame 👍🚴♂️. Great video as always 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lifetime warranties don't come free. Great price if it lives up to the marketing. Is the stack measured to the bare head tube or to the top of the integrated headset adapter?

@naf2579

@@tommyfreckmann6857 this company is offering a lifetime warranty. Warranties cost money and that cost is baked into the retail price of the frame. Hence why this brand cost more than other far east companies. Why do you think all the big Western brands charge a premium? Because they have a generous warranty and crash replacement programs.
@tommyfreckmann6857

@naf2579 gotcha. But, Trek is great bc I know owners who got a free replacement in a crash and the frame models were 10+ years old. Seka is different with their warranty, they don't cover crashes, only very limited items such as manufacturer defects and paint. So, not even comparable to some other brands.

@@tommyfreckmann6857 true. If they were to offer that exact coverage then that same frame would probably cost quite a bit more. Gotta weigh having piece of mind with a great warranty or save money up front and hope you never crash.

And another One! 470g for the fork and 820g for the frame is not light, 370g for the handlebar and under 150g for the seatpost is very light but what is all that mean? all the bikes feature here are nice, properly build and ridden on flat FL roads, maybe GC should send the bikes to serious riders who can properly test them share their findings.

$3000 for a Chinese frameset.... they have officially left the niche behind that made Chinese frames so popular. How much of that $3000 fee is to cover the SIlverstone wind tunnel testing? If a bike isnt being used by pro teams, wind tunnel testing is pointless and is an uneccessary marketing tool that pushing up the price. For $3000, I'd wait until X-Lab frames are released to the Western market and see what price point they come in at because Cav was just recently seen a the XDS factory so Im sure info will be coming out soon.
