Eddie Stafford Posted February 23, 2015 Share I have just completed a 15 inch bike build for my son, using a Chinese carbon frame. Attached is a spreadsheet with the cost and weight of the bike. The frame, headset and seatpost were bought from Flyxii and the rest of the parts from http://www.bike-discount.de/en. The stem and handlebar are from an old bike. The fork is the cheapest (under 2 kg) 26 inch tapered fork that I could find and the wheelset is the cheapest (under 2 kg) with the same axle as the fork – 15mm, that I could find on the website. Interesting stats – The weight of the frame, fork, wheelset and tyres represents 55% of the total weight and the cost of the frame, fork and wheelset, 55%. Tax always a problem at 10%.26 Inch bike build.pdf Super_mil and Tubehunter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukeram Posted February 28, 2015 Share Hi guys This must be the most read thread on the hub! Meezo, I know I've been talking about it for years, but finally took the plunge - picked up a ultegra Di2 (11-32) 11 speed groupset and now need a home for it... Like the look of the dengfu fm206 ( http://www.dengfubikes.com/product/detail.php?id=187) with some deep rims - 50 mm clinchers ( http://www.dengfubikes.com/product/detail.php?id=172 ) Does anyone have experience with the frame, how it rides etc, and whether it can handle a internal di2 battery? Thanks Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Stafford Posted March 2, 2015 Share Please post pics of the finished bike.How did you get the postage so low??? I will post some pics when the bike is completed, just waiting for the brake rotors, which I forgot to order the first time. I am based in Mauritius and I saw that the postage here is 30 Euros compare to 50 Euros for South Africa. Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sias Posted March 2, 2015 Share Do any of the chinese brands bring in fat bike frames or complete bikes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3voic3 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Do any of the chinese brands bring in fat bike frames or complete bikes? No they don't bring them in, you must do it yourself... Or get someone that is comfortable with the procedure to do it for you. They do however manufacture the fat frames, if that is what you where asking.
