Chinese Carbon Thread

[Meezo]

So much talk of 650b.

 

This really caught my eye. I will enquire about this soon

 

Product name : 2013 650B Full Suspension

Item : HF-FM156

Details :

2013 650B Full Suspension

 

Size:16",18",20".

 

Rear Wheels: 135 and 142*12 axle interchangeable

 

To me looks much nicer than the 29er DS. But that's just me

Finished mom's 650B Spez tonight, so will be looking soon.

Almost finished my Ellsworth 29er SS, THAT will make most hubbers drool.

Under 7kgs

 

It deserves it's own thread

The frame weight of the 650b and 29er (both dual sus) is 80g different but fully built with similar components this increases to just over 500g, mainly due to tyres and fork being lighter.

Cool educational steps, Rouxtjie.

Awesome.

Lekker dude

 

Just thought I will post every step along the way, very green when it comes to these chinese deals so maybe my ramblings will help someone out that wants to go direct.

 

Like I said, if all goes well I am deffos keen on a group order of some kind, rims, bars cages, forks, posts...Everyone will win because the shipping will be divided and then it doesnt hurt as much.

 

So far so good.

[Meezo]

for those out there, still in doubt, read this

The trick is to add bars, cages forks and posts to a frame order, they go in the same box and are then freight free.

On my first order I don't want to go shoot the lights out....first want to see what the experience is like and then I will dive in so to speak

Some nice looking wheels for a fixie project, just funny that they are listed under Sony memory stick USB.
