Chinese Carbon Thread

[LOOK695]

Always good to hear positive reviews. Seems that there are more positive than negative reviews.

Hi all , i thought id leave positive feedback regarding buying from China. I previously bought a frame but never built it . Sold the frame to a friend because i wasnt sure it would accommodate my " pleasantly plump " frame ( fat in other words , 114kg @1.9m tall) . However i was researching online last month and found a supplier that has some Mavic Cosmic that according to them the test sheet and other reviews handle chaps my size . So i took the plunge and bought some. The arrived today and i immediately put them on my " perd" and took them for a 50km ride with the wife on standby if there was a issue... Needles to say no issue . 50km flue by and no issues . So from a " pleasantly plump" chap buying from China worked out great !

I bought a mtb 27.5 frame and parts from Hong Fu last year around this time. I also bought carbon wheels from Ribour and put the bike together. It came in at 9.8kg.

 

A year later and many hard miles of mountain bike racing and the bike is still 100%. I raced the National and Rainbow challenge marathons. Also the xco nationals.This has been the best purchase ever.

 

Now, I need to upgrade the road bike. It is an alu frame with 105 groupset. Yip not great, but I have been thinking of upgrading a few things now and then later a frame. Perhaps the seat post, wheels and handlebar.

 

So while slothing around today, I came across this handlebar. A question for the clever people please. Would you put a special sort of bar tape on (transparent) or would you ride without anything on the handlebar?

 

I have not seen anyone else with this set on their bike before.

This is Officially my first post on the Hub ...

 

Finally I can add my master piece to this thread ( wanted to do this the first time I read it, JAARE gelede ) … So it’s kind of 90% finish and but I could not resist posting… A big thanx to Meezo, who ordered the frame from Flyxii… while the frame was being shipped I manage to acquire most of the important parts. Big up to All the hubbers (they know who they are) who sold their goods to me for mooi prices after somewhat neg’s… Pics will do the talking here on…

You do realize, of course, that those probably aren't really Mavic Cosmics, right?

Thinking of pulling the trigger on the new F8 - anyone have experience with this frame (its quite new)? Also I am looking for something like this - but cant find on Ali.

[Guest Smimby]

Has anyone found a Specialized epic like frame from China?

I want to get myself the fm098 but I'm a bit too small for a 490 which seems to be the smallest size. Any suggestions on getting a different frame where there smaller sizes?

[Malpiet]
