Do you want to elaborate on that? Who exactly are you referring too?

my Giant XTC carbon 1 was stolen end last year. its the one with the lumo yellow in the frame. also have lumo yellow bottle cages. Probably long gone anyways.

I think all bikes have some flex in their BB area. You will notice this especially when fixed to a trainer. However, i do think the chinese frames might have even more.

I have had endless problems with my chinese back wheel (50mm deep sections). It was also bought in December with the frame. I have had to pull out of 5 races already because of it. The spokes keep on braking (it breaks where it enters the hub). Have taken it to 2 bike shops to realine, fix and recamber the wheels. Still not sure why it happens. Have also replaced the non-drive side spokes with round spokes (in stead of the bladed spokes it came with). This helped a little bit. A friend of mine also bought a set. he had just as much issues with his (he broke the nipples every time). And yes, they definatily are not that stiff. I personally won't buy chinese again. Racing elites, you need something alot more solid.

Has anyone experienced more flex in their frames over time? I have a FM099 that I build in December last year. For the last month i have experienced a massive increase in flex in the head tube. If I fix the back wheels to my trainer i can litterally move the frame from side to side. Is this normal?

did you report to the police? glad ur safe.

winstrol & anavar are oral steriods (used for bodybuilding) and under the list of banned sustances in cycling. so i would suggest that you stay away from them and use normal energy drinks (USN, Cadence, etc)

The 80km mtb race is an awesome route. The worst however is the first 2 climbs. The first climb being right at the start starting after only about 5km (but it's on tar and steep), then a nice long and cold decent and then when you least expect it, bam, one heavy, steep, long climb. From there is is beautiful. Climbs all being steady and with good surfaces. Probably the best race route i've ridden.

My absolute favourate is Angels (for a harder & longer workout i do 5x8min climbs). For more race-like situations, i prefer Downward Spiral (mix of longer and shorter intervals). Busy downloading ISLAGIATT now. I'm addicted to these videos and look forward to jumping on the IDT each session.

If you can give good bottomless coffee like Java cafe at a good price, then you will always attract cyclist. and having good looking students (female) walk by will DEFINATELY help.

Thanks Lone One

Well, i wouldn't have posted it on this thread if it was real. im not gona go around and announce that its a fake but if i'm asked, i'm also not going to lie about it. Regarding the Ultegra, if you willing to donate a Sram Red or Di2, then i'm happy to except it. Unfortunately, ultegra is all I could afford at the moment. But I like it and it works for me.

I finished building my FM099 at the beginning of december, just in time for base. Its been an absolute joy. Love every minute on it. It weights 8kg with shimano ultegra 6700 (not the lightest but VERY aerodynamic). Ordered the frame and wheels through a friend of mine (not sure where exactly he gets it from).

The waiting is killing me. I want to order my frame and wheels, but I don't get any response from cyclingyong.

Thanks Meezo. Will send them a mail.
