http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/2015-Newest-full-Carbon-Road-Bike_60006903387.html I have not made contact as yet - I was told in passing that its best to wait for new frames to be in the market a while (to iron out any kinks). I would be a whole lot more comfortable buying for flyzxii/dengfu or other well known or established shops ... or am I just being paranoid?

a few others now doing the F8 http://www.aliexpres..._20140820030615

 

Feedback from buyer on one of the suppliers, says frame is perfect !! http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2014-Newest-F8-Road-bike-full-carbon-fibre-frame-carbon-bicycle-frame-carbon-fork-seatpost-seat/1968871146.html

Perfect! Thanks for this. Have you had any experience with any of the manufacturers listed?

Gents if this has been answered sorry for asking a answered questions.

 

1. On flyxii website is see some of the frames have curved top tubes and some straight...Any reasons why?

2. Are the frames all the made in UD matt or gloss finnish or do they come in 3k as well.

3. Which one of the 2 types curved or straight is better or is it only preference?

4. Between flyxxi , carbonality , hongfu, aliexpress and who ever else has the best quality overall.

5, Do i need to go thru axial in the rear or should i not worry about flex? I have seen some frames where the rim cones has slightly damaged the carbon. any one of these guys do aluminium sections where the wheel slips in too as well as where the chain goes over the frame before it meets the crank?

 

All of these things are things that i've noticed on my own carbon fs and would not like to repeat my mistake even though it is a hard tail.

 

Sorry for all the questions but i would really appreciate it if you could give your recommendations please.

 

Thanks all the clever people

I got the GAEA from them about a year ago...awesome frame, still going strong and no issues in shipping or purchasing. Very lekker geo, similar to SC highball...

 

Can't talk about the others.

Rouxtjie cant remember if i spoke to you last time. You happy with quick release or thru axial?Do you mount your wheel cups against carbon or aluminium?
