Chinese Carbon Thread

Recommended Posts

 

Thanks Meezo! Its about R7600-00. Hopefully the Randela would gain a bit of weight. Traiding at R10.08 to the dollar is just crazy

 

Chatting to my buddies now the other day, 2 of them want 29ers FM056. We worked out a price of around R5k a frame. They were ok, i was like it's expensive, well compared to what you can pay.

 

But compare it to known Chinese or name brands its still cheap!!

 

I'd say R7800 is a score for a full carbon road frame!!! That's just me tho

Fully agree! The joke is that it can be quit a bit lower since the Rand normally trades around R7.5 to the dollar

To those interested in wheels, like Dale, here are some pics of the new wheel undergoing testing. Looks like some proper testing equipment. The wheel looks very much like an Enve one, which says a lot for their manufacturing standards. I think the chinese products are really catching up fast to the big name brands. Stock should be available this month. Reckon this is the wheel/rim to buy if you are buying chinese. Will hopefully have some more pics tomorrow

If its too short for I-man777 I am definitely keen if you wish to sell it.

Anyone looking to place a frame order anytime soon? looking to order a mtb seat post, bar and stem (or integrated bar/stem) and the shipping they want me to pay to SA just on those items is crazy! Going to be placing a frame order at the end of the year so if anyone could help me out now, i'd gladly help them out by throwing what ever in the box then! (With just putting them in their box)

Cheers

Sam

 

Edit: Box

I want to put in an order for a few things, let me know. Ive got a contact there giving a bit lower prices
