Thomo Posted May 15, 2019 Share So, today, not expecting anything and without fanfare, I have a post office truck at my gate with a parcel. Please pay Rxxx.00 in Vat, sign here and Bob's your uncle. It could not have been easier. Ironically, on the day I ordered the frame I also ordered some bits and pieces from CRC which are still stuck with their useless couriers...A real shambles when you're being outperformed by SAPO.

Dubber Posted May 15, 2019 Share So, today, not expecting anything and without fanfare, I have a post office truck at my gate with a parcel. Please pay Rxxx.00 in Vat, sign here and Bob's your uncle.

I'm sure the courier issue is putting off potential customers. That along with the fact they are no longer selling Shimano and SRAM outside of the country. I would imagine those two products accounted for a large proportion of their international sales. And now they can't deliver the products that they do sell - it can't bode well for them...

Boerklong Posted May 29, 2019 Share See guys have bought dual suspension from Hong Fu. How’s the ride and quality? Want to buy dual suspension. Any recommendations?Did not like mine initially, BUT, I came off a HT. Now that I have swapped back and forth between ht and fs frame twice I just love the fs. Got the suspension sorted and its awesome . I enjoy the bike and it looks sexy as well. Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohanDiv Posted August 19, 2019 Share I've been toying with the idea of starting a commuter/gravel grinder/sunday coffee ride build with a chinese carbon frame. Budget around R25-30k. Found this carbon frame+wheels+fork+seatpost on Aliexpress for R13500 and thought it might be a good place to start? Any thoughts on this, or maybe directions to where I should rather start looking?

JohanDiv Posted August 19, 2019 Share Why not from these guys ? https://ridefarr.com/product-category/frames/ That's a nice frame! And quality wise would be better..But for that price, minus the carbon wheelset, I'm not going to stay in budget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobobob Posted September 17, 2019 Share This thread use to be very active. See there is not a lot of movement on it anymore. People stop building Chinese bikes or are they just not posting about it anymore? I do not see many Chinese bikes on rides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
