don't see why you can't sell it here. just tell people exactly what it is they will be buying and if someone wants it then it's their choice

My new single speed project build is complete! Was really fun to build up a bike from scratch!

 

Full carbon 29er Single speed bike weighing in at 8.3Kgs. Could be sub 8Kg with slightly lighter tyres and rims.

 

It's up in the classified section if anyone is interested in a really light fast racing single speed ready to hit the trails!

So my FM029 frame set is on its way, am debating whether I should add paint accents when it gets here, or decals with clear coat, or simply leave the UD Matt carbon and accent it with coloured finishing kit etc.....love me an ol' project.

Hi, I am new at the Chinese frame idea. Any ideas of good Dual Suspension 29" Carbon Frames out there?

I have a new FM056, in a size 17,5" that is too small for me. If anyone is interested in perhaps swapping for a size up or to purchase, let me know. I finally have all the parts to build the bike and realised with a 400mm seatpost i will be 1,5 centimeter over the max limit on post. I am not keen on trying my luck and hence wanting the bigger frame.

 

This particular frame was purchased from Hong-fu bikes

How tall are you? Is that a large frame? If so...I might be interested!

Any Chinese Carbon 650B duallie frames that can take a 140mm fork up front yet and have more trail / AM orientated geometry?

My saddle height from centre of BB to top of saddle is 78,5 and with a 400mm seat post i am short of 1,5cm. Not sure what yours is but you can work on that. I am 183cm tall

Need some help. Was looking at bringing in a 29er dual sus frame or just forking out a little extra and getting one from Booth. I had assumed that it would be the same stuff. However, on carbonality.com it's listed as 1800g and on booth as 2.5kg.

 

Not the same stuff? Why the big difference?

Some guys are more honest than others with weight, and when you add the shock my configurator gives actual weighed weights, not a theoretical "possible if your scale has zero gravity" weight!
