maffias Posted July 17, 2013 Share Hey Guys, I'm looking to upgrade my current Ali Jamis to a carbon frame. I've been looking around for a good priced frame and they all way above 11K and more for a name branded frame, @ rouxtjie could you please send me a PM on the process on how to order a frame and what extras did you add to the it. I went to the FIXvii web site and I see they have lots of options but what hanger do I get what seat post ect your help would be appreciated. PS ! Matt finish looks flipping cool !

Yo....I did a step by step a few pages ago...see here https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/125808-chinese-carbon-thread/page__st__224#entry1966005 First things, download the spreadsheet and compare geo's with a bike you particularly like or that you ridden before and suits your riding.

rouxtjie Posted July 17, 2013 Share @maffias....just to add, take your time when choosing the frame you want...Do a bit of research on it in other forums as well as the manufacturer. Try and ride a friend's bike where you can compare geometries etc etc....some see it as admin, I see it as fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeboy69 Posted July 17, 2013 Share I will post frequent update here for okes that want to go the direct route. It does seem quite daunting cause you are still paying loads of cash to someone on the other side of the world. So with that in mind... Step 1...choose you frame and geometry you like. Used a spreadsheet @morwa posted on the previous chinarello thread, bigups to him for that Can't download xls, so if 19" 26er HT worked for me, do I stick to 19" 29er DS?
