Izak Posted December 16, 2013 Share Very nice!!! Where did you source the frame? Did you source any of the other components from abroad?Hi Craig Sourced it from iCan bikes in China. No I did not source any other parts from there but they have a whole range of carbon components as well. BlackBikes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusran Posted December 16, 2013 Share Hey Hubbers, I am about to purchase a carbon road disc fork through HongFu, and with regards to payments and shipping: They are super helpful with correspondence etc but: - is it normal to pay first by PayPal and then simply email them your shipping details?- is there no sort of order form other than their enquiries on the webpage? My residence, banking address and shipping address are all different addresses. Any advice would be much appreciated. (Apologies I didn't go through all 73 pages of the thread, got through 10 but we work public holidays for the sake of having Friday free, so gotta work while hubbing in moderation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep all your correspondence with the agent you are dealing with. You will get an invoice with your goods. There will be a tracking number mailed to you once it is shipped then you can track via China EMS until you can track here from dispatched to Jhb mail and then use SAPO EMS.

If you pay using PayPal, your shipping details will already be on our PayPal account and they will automatically be notified. You need to ensure that the shipping address is specified on your PayPal account, that is the one that will be used. This is set up when you set up a PayPal account. You can notify them by email but they will use the PayPal shipping address listed. If you pay by PayPal you will have buyers protection from PayPal should your item not arrive.

awesme Posted December 18, 2013 Share PS Izak to continue the all black look, although mine will be a hard tail, I'm not going with stickers on the rims, have a think, pull those stickers off, easy easy. G Finished my build today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesme Posted December 18, 2013 Share Hi MTB I see you like the UD finish,do you have a UD finished bike,do you maybe have a 3K finish bike also,would love to look at the 2 side by side. G I'd have gone 056 or 057 (hope hubs can go QR or TA) if I hadn't found my Highball frame for such a great deal. UD Matte is too tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yusran Posted December 19, 2013 Share Just giving big ups for the advice from le fellow hubbers. As scary as it was, summoned up the courage to click that send payment button and will hopefully recieve my chinese carbon goods from HongFu all in good order. So scary these online transactions are. @Izak - that build looks awesome, came together nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
