Chinese Carbon Thread

[Baaisikilist]

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.

Yup, my Highball is UD gloss. Unfortunately no 3K bike in the stable, and I sold the 12K road bike I had. There aren't too many recent model name brand carbon bikes that are coming out in 3 or 12K these days. Its either UD or a completely painted frame. In my own opinion, the weaved frames look a bit 'old fashioned', and thus my preference for UD. I also find the 3K weave has been mimicked to death in faux carbon finishes on dashboards and motorcycle plastics etc etc. Again, just my personal opinion.

Sure thing... Or let me know when you're riding Thaba or Rietvlei. The UD really comes alive in the sun...

If I could choose a finish again I would go with UD gloss, the UD matt is bitch to keep clean...like a magnet for dust. Its not a biggie since its a mountain bike afterall....just saying

[awesme]

Shounds like a plan, will still be new year though, we're of to lekker by the sea side at lunch
