Lone_Ranger Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 BCD, it should probably work. See wolftooth site. Must say the raceface, for much cheaper, seems a better option too!! Ja I was looking at the Raceface from Evobikes last night. About R250 cheaper than the Wolftooth. Definitely in the frame for a planned build this year. Chinarello of course
Cippo Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I will try and find some green grass on a Sunday morning ride and snap some shots. My pics aren't as flashy and don't do justice to the beautiful FM098 Looking good. Congrats. Where's the pic with Zipps? babse and Meezo 2
Meezo Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 Looking good. Congrats. Where's the pic with Zipps? Still need to get 11spd freehub. Budget in negative at the moment, wont be racing now till probably winter league then might give the zipps a go!
Meezo Posted January 28, 2014 Author Posted January 28, 2014 Shooo. Rand Dollar, means very little ordering will be done. I'm scratching again, for another build of some sort..... Fatty or CX, but at this rate it's not cheap anymore. BogusOne, SamL1220 and Hairy 3
Lone_Ranger Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Was planning my build for early this year, but going to wait a few months in the hope of a lower rand/$ exchange rate. At the moment it's just crazy. But the waiting is killing me
awesme Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 ditto, got the wheel set already, but putting rest oft he build on ice till at least after April. Just as well, we had a HR bomb go off this side at work. G Was planning my build for early this year, but going to wait a few months in the hope of a lower rand/$ exchange rate.

T-Bob Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 So with the weakening Rand I've had to hold off a new frame but now some over seas client shave come to the table in terms of sorting account and I'm back on the hunt. Has anyone see who is manufacturing this Scott Foil-a-like anywhere? These guys have got a 5 minimum and obviously I haven't dealt with them or know anyone who has so I'd rather get a recommendation. http://made-in-ican.en.alibaba.com/product/510853216-212959929/2012_carbon_aero_road_frame_carbon_road_bicycle_frame.html Thanks in advance. http://i00.i.aliimg.com/photo/v0/509577022/Aero_bicyle_frame_AC053.jpg
Cippo Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 @hellocolour, found this link of a guy in Australia who built up one. He used a place called miraclecycles. Read here, http://chinesecarbonvelo.blogspot.com/2013/08/chinese-frame-ac053-scott-replica.html?m=1 T-Bob 1
T-Bob Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 @hellocolour, found this link of a guy in Australia who built up one. He used a place called miraclecycles. Read here, http://chinesecarbon...eplica.html?m=1 Awesome. Seems like the quality is there with the is make up. I was a bit worried that the key characteristics of the foil might get lost in translation with a different company and the manufacturing process. Really keen to try one out for a long period of time as an 'also' to my current bike and not actually have to ship my Giant out of the shed.
Clinton - theCOW Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Found other posts with the AC053 which has qty of 1 (all from Ican). I haven't brought in any C-Carbon frames, exchange rate hasn't helped that decision The FOIL is 1 frame i'd love to ride! http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/819961855/ICAN_Newest_Aero_road_frame_carbon.htmlhttp://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/819962430/Aero_road_frame_carbon_road_frame.htmlhttp://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/823559696/ICAN_2013_New_Aero_Racing_carbon.html T-Bob 1
