Chinese Carbon Thread

BCD, it should probably work. See wolftooth site. Must say the raceface, for much cheaper, seems a better option too!!

 

Ja I was looking at the Raceface from Evobikes last night. About R250 cheaper than the Wolftooth. Definitely in the frame for a planned build this year. Chinarello of course :clap:

I will try and find some green grass on a Sunday morning ride and snap some shots. My pics aren't as flashy and don't do justice to the beautiful FM098

Was planning my build for early this year, but going to wait a few months in the hope of a lower rand/$ exchange rate. At the moment it's just crazy.

 

But the waiting is killing me :thumbdown:

So with the weakening Rand I've had to hold off a new frame but now some over seas client shave come to the table in terms of sorting account and I'm back on the hunt.

 

Has anyone see who is manufacturing this Scott Foil-a-like anywhere? These guys have got a 5 minimum and obviously I haven't dealt with them or know anyone who has so I'd rather get a recommendation.

Thanks in advance.

@hellocolour, found this link of a guy in Australia who built up one. He used a place called miraclecycles. Read here, http://chinesecarbon...eplica.html?m=1

 

Awesome. Seems like the quality is there with the is make up. I was a bit worried that the key characteristics of the foil might get lost in translation with a different company and the manufacturing process.

 

Really keen to try one out for a long period of time as an 'also' to my current bike and not actually have to ship my Giant out of the shed.

Found other posts with the AC053 which has qty of 1 (all from Ican). I haven't brought in any C-Carbon frames, exchange rate hasn't helped that decision :(

 

The FOIL is 1 frame i'd love to ride!
