Josh, you either need to remove the branding or destroy this post. It is an ILLEGAL product.

I see CSC also manufacture bars but they have no reviews... their wheels have good reviews though... I checked CWC and Evobikes and carbon bars are around R4k. I'm pretty sure I saw cheaper ones in store in the past though... now that I decided to upgrade for carbon wheels I wouldn't mind carbon bars

 

If you are concerned about CSC, why not consider proven quality well priced components from reputable manufacturers such as Flyxii, Hongfu, Dengfu ?

 

 

I am very happy with the Flyxii stuff I bought.

Hi everyone

FM156 frame

 

I bought a frame a few years ago, it got damaged and was standing a while. Finally got it fixed and then it was standing again... Now that I have the time to build it back up again, I noticed that the one piece of the hanger is gone(derailleur side). Now here is the problem, I want to get a new one, nut I cant get hold of dengfu for some reason since before the lockdown situations began from all over. I want to change the hangers to thru axle as well. Anybody know where I can get these parts?

Hi guys

 

I'm looking to build myself a road bike and from what I've read, the importing from china route is a good option.

 

Has anyone recently purchased a road disc frameset that can offer some advice?

 

I'm quite new, so not sure regarding different tyre clearance sizes and BB variants.

 

Also with regards to sizing, what is the best way to go about it? I'm 6.0ft

 

Thanks!

Here is a pic of the hanger part. I need both sides for Thru Axle and QR if possible. If not, I really just need either one to get the frame usable again.

Make contact with keanbikes(Theuns Goosen) or adrenaline bikes(Willie Engelbrecht), and it maybe worthwhile checking up with tri-cycles(edge_design, Shaun) and summit bikes (Dominic Calitz)

Have any of you guys sourced a Gravel specific frame ?

Any recommendations ?

 

Edit: It would help if I searched before posting 

        Lots of info here

I bought a full sus mtb frame from Carbon Speed towards the end of 2018.  The transaction was fine and no issues to speak of.  This was the first time buying from Carbonspeed.  Build quality was on par with the other manufactures I had bought from.  Here is a pic just after I had built it up:

 

 

 

Having bought a handful of blank frames I was getting tired of the black frame look.  So earlier this year I took the bike apart and started the process of sanding it down and giving it a coat of paint.  I eventually finished a couple months later - Corona delayed getting some of the paint etc and life generally just got in the way.

 

Anyway, a few pics of the bike as it looks now.   Now I just need to convince the boss my road and gravel bike needs some color

This is awesome, great job.
