Broker Posted October 8, 2013 Share Just recently finished my road bicycles and I am so please with the ride. Can anybody point me towards the supplier with a variety of dual suspension MTB frames and maybe some photos and reviews on finished bicycles. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJACK Posted October 8, 2013 Share Build 99 % done, picked up frame Friday. Ready to ride but still need to change pedals, tires and saddle. Some details on the order from Shenzhen ZhongWei dealt directly with them, contact Chris Mei(chris@carbon-bicycle-parts.cn) Frame & Fork(includes headset) : Z-CB-R-002 3k Weave matte($360) custom paint job($30)Carbon Seat post(includes crappy seat clamp) : Z-SP-006($27)Carbon Integrated stem handle bar : Z-HB-008($100)Carbon bottle cages x 2 : Z-BR-002($21)Shipping to SA : $105Paypal charge(4% of payment) : $26 Ordered : 28 August 2013Shipped from China : 12 Sep 2013Arrived in Cape Town : 3 October 2013 Notes on shipping : Was quoted on EMS shipping goods was eventually shipped through China Post. – Not sure on the difference but tracking EMS seems bit easier than with China Post.Was told shipping would take 10 days, took bit longer but taking into account that the region experience one of its worst typhoons in 50 years, acceptable. Goods arrived without any damage came well packed in Styrofoam and bubble wrap the box goods shipped in took a beating. Overall impression: This is my first build/order from China, I’m really happy as to how the final build came out, finishes and paintjob exactly as I wanted. Feels much lighter than my old aluminium bike saying this it’s not the lightest china frame out there (58cm frame & fork 1555g). Will weigh her once I’ve got the intended seat, pedals and tires on. Still haven’t taken her for a spin hopefully have a ride report after Thursday morning… Thanks to the guys at CWC Greenpoint who helped out with some of the final touches!

_Pat_ Posted October 11, 2013 Share So here's my new stealth bike , forgive the quality of the pictures, bad lighting at night and all. Thanks to Rob (Booth bikes) and Bike Lane for helping me out with the frame and groupset. By the way the seat clamp is my own invention, prototype 2.0, at a little over 5 grams Meezo and JJACK 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
